So I've been a long time Magic player 10+ years, and been a fan of Pokemon since Red/Blue days, I played the TCG as a kid like everyone else but fell off when after like the third expansion I believe? Either way my girlfriend an I at the moment are trying to get back into it, is it popular at all?

The main thing is could we even build viable decks for cheap? I know next to nothing about what sort of strategies are used now
