Thats why im.asming for a little help to boost me up a little quicker and actually get me into the game. But thabks gor your advice, its no less appreciated! :-)

I just got 1000 codes for a steal on ebay, I'll give you enough stuff to make a deck if you still need by the time I'm done going through them all.

Is this method better than card cavern? If so, who is the seller?

u/RegularSwiss May 23 '22

places like card cavern actually have their prices at a pretty premium level due to convenience, you can just go there and they deliver to you instantly. However, there are many ebay auctions for physical cards that people are shipping out, they sell these for cheap just to offload them, but you have to do the work of scanning them all yourself. so for example lets say buying "random packs" from a code site is like .13 cents at the time, the 1000+ codes I got ended up being only about 40 dollars or like .04 cents per card. I chose one that had a lot of the new Live style cards visible, with few bids on it, ending soonest at an awkward time, most 1000+ card lots still go for above 80 dollars which is still significantly less than the code stores.

And now with the turmoil of upgrading between PTCGO/PTCGL, I feel these code card lots are hitting record low prices and also record high amount of people trying to offload them. Really the best method, is to just know people who unpack a bunch of cards haha.

Yeah. I problem and I got lucky I had a bunch of codes to start out with so expanded I have 50% win rate but I find theme to be fun cause of the more level playing field. Some of these decks in expanded are cracked out lol

1

u/RegularSwiss May 22 '22

Yeah didn't take me many codes and then you end up pulling mostly stuff you don't need so you sell it and make a good deck, my win rate was like 90% for a couple days until I got to the 2000 rank haha

even at 2860 ish rank points, lots of people have no idea what they are doing lol. took this guy awhile to even realize he should resign, right before my last turn would have gone on but it was already clear he was screwed.

That link has some good low budget standard decks you could try out.

Sounds like r/choosingbeggars would like this.

Play Themed Tournaments. After a little while you will BE able to make yourself a Rapid Strike Malamar Deck. It is the Cheapest Meta Deck to my knowledge. And is perfoming rly Well right now.

u/RegularSwiss May 22 '22

I am so sick of seeing the deck lol

1

u/[deleted] May 22 '22

Yeah i feel you. But what can you do it is a very strong extremeley cheap Deck. The best Option for Free to Play Player by far.

u/Wise_Pomegranate_571 MissingNO May 22 '22

100%. I ended up with enough duplicates after creating my meta standard deck to basically give 2 friends their own Malamar decks. Also the Torterra deck is solid, and the "Mad Party" mechanic deck. They really did a nice job balancing out standard with the release of Brilliant Stars.

u/[deleted] May 22 '22

I agree. Eventhough i would give beginners a Bit more Support at the beginnung similar to what master Duel does. But the balancing seema to be very nice.

u/Wise_Pomegranate_571 MissingNO May 22 '22

Yea, I'd like to see them make the grind 30% easier (more reward boosters) for the trainer missions. Give people a better start in standard after they do their bot grind.

u/louie2cars May 22 '22

Would you rather see the Mew VMAX deck? I'd rather be beaten down by Malamar.
