No idea, but if this thread yields no results, you should try asking /tg/.

>how to get in
Probably just do tcgo until you get gud and learn common threats and stuff.

>how much
Mostly depends on the deck, could be anywhere. I think 4 Landorus still cost like 120 dollars, but Night March can be made for under 30. Like under 10 if you have staple trainers already.

>best way to get cards
Order singles, depending on banlist and deck construction, you can get the one or two good theme decks as a starting point.

Resilient life and destruction rush with appropriate singles makes them both really competitive and the newer theme decks aren't 100% a waste of your money, you'd usually spend the same 10$ amount on the staple trainers included and bulk energy required to make the deck anyway.

/tg/ here.

I'm running FAIRIES.

I bought the X/Y Xerneas starter deck for a base, then expanded with three Xerneas EXs, three Keldeo EXs, and a few Sylveons.

Right now, I'd suggest getting the current Battle Arena decks, ideally for no more than about $20-25, stripping the useful Trainer cards (The Professors, Ultra Balls, and Tiernos/Muscle Bands) from one, and buying EXs to tweak the deck you're working with.

I prefer fairies, but whichever floats your boat.

Remember that you need EXACTLY 60 cards, and that the game's current meta is based on draw power.

And, as >>22323188 says, buy singles more than packs or decks, unless said packs/decks are a good price.

And sleeve your cards. PLEASE.

/tg/ out.

Though this is more of an advanced thing than starting out, if you are going to rely on packs (since some places have no card stores near them or don't have singles ever that you need) boxes have guaranteed ratios. It's something like you're guaranteed 2 EXes per box and one secret rare aside from the usual pack rates, so if it's a good set or you need expensive cards, or you're in a situation I mentioned earlier, go for a box (36 packs) , not random blisters. It's even cheaper since a box is like 2 dollars per pack and walmart will charge you like 4-5 dollars per blister

Is there any point to the big cards they sell with EX's/Megas? I bought like 100$ worth of pokemon cards for my little brother and we always wonder what to do with them. Honestly I buy them more for me so I can get the tcgo cards in the booster packs but I digress

Probably the easiest deck to make at the moment is a Might March deck or a Miltank/Butterfree deck. just pick one and invest in flash fire or phantom force packs.

I'm unsure. My OWN luck with stuff like tins and Trainer kits has been rather good, but I have no idea about the actual odds.

>>22323448
Nope. Just for show.

>>22323508
I tossed one of the latter together for my cousin. Surprisingly cheap and effective, even though he's a newbie.
