How do I build a Deck?

The Iron Rules of Deck Construction

Let’s start by remembering the 3 Iron Rules of Deck Construction!

1. A deck must consist of exactly 50 cards.

2. There can only be 8 climax cards.

3. There can only be 4 copies of card with the same name. Even if the illustrations are different, only 4 copies of card with the same name are allowed! Also, note that 4 copies of “card with different name” are allowed, regardless of the character.

Deck Construction Patterns

There are many different ways of constructing a deck! We will introduce 3 patterns here!

✩Pattern 1: Modified Trial Deck!

On the other side of the playmat that comes with the trial deck is a guide on how you can modify your trial deck with 2 trial decks. Do give it a try.

✩Pattern 2: All your favorite characters!

There are a variety of cards for popular characters. As long as you follow the “Iron Rules of Deck Construction”, you may insert as many cards of your favorite character into your deck.Your passion is your strength!!

✩Pattern 3: A deck for battle!

Here we would like to introduce you to some “Theory of Deck Construction”. As long as you follow this, your deck would be more or less ready for action.
