"We settled on kuldotha for aggro, orzhov blade for midrange."
"Some good options include kuldotha red or rakdos madness."
"The mono-colored ones can be fun and not so difficult to play."
"That’s a budget mono red pioneer list that I was used to play."
"Mono Red Aggro is mostly easy just get this kid Monastery Swiftspear’s."
"Here’s a red deck deck that pretty affordable and super fun to play."
"As far as mono blue mill (The Mindskinner)."
"[[yuriko]] [[kinnan]] [[magda]] are the usual recommendations."
"Yeah, you can buy some cheap constructed decks, you can buy packs and make your own decks, jumpstart, etc."
"I would say the starter decks are fine enough."

"The Battle Academy box is a really great way for two people to learn the basics."
"If your wife ever wants a cute and brutal deck idea, may I suggest Alcremie vmax and 4 clefairies."
"Try the Zapdos ex and Ninetails Ex battle decks. They come with 3 copies of the EX pokemon and play good enough for out of the box deck."
"Lighting deck, use a lt.surge deck. Here’s what I use, wins me a lot of matches."
"We moved on to Lycanroc v and Corviknight V, which are still good fun."
"I managed to pick up the 2024 Battle Academy this weekend for cheap."
"They’re not too complicated to play and are included everything you need to get started."
"Both decks require setup and rewards proper sequencing."

"I really like the Anna Hero starter deck. The cards work well together and it's easy to pilot."
"My favorite is currently the Elsa deck from Shimmering skies."
"Sapphire steel Ursula's return deck (Anna/Hercules), Sapphire Amber Rise of the Floodborn deck (Queen/Gaston) and the upcoming Ruby Amber Azurite Sea (Jim/Tigger) deck are simple, fast, and fun out of box."
"The Merlin/Tiana floodborn starter deck is very fun to play with and gives you some cards that see play even in meta."
"I played with the Floodborn Amethyst Steel deck and I found it easier to beat her with that deck than any of the other starter decks."
"I definitely just recommend getting a starter deck with your niece’s favorite characters."

Pokémon

"Pikachu deck is probably best."
"Almost certainly Pikachu because the games are the shortest."
"Just use the starter decks instead of throwing a bunch of random cards together."
"Hydreigon deck is fairly new, I’ve played against it a few times."
"Magnezone with the Giga Magnet Ability and Dialga VSTAR as your attacker."
"I wouldn't really call it meta-relevant or viable."
#5
Charizard
4.3
(4)
"Tera Dark Charizard ex is the easiest imo"
"The charizard ex deck is probably the easiest to play out of everything."
"Wait for the Charizard League Battle Deck that is releasing by November."
"It's better to go for League Battle decks as they're not only playable out of the box but also upgradeable."

Starter Deck

"Quite literally any starter deck"
"Literally any of the starter decks, they're designed for casual play for beginners."

"I’ve been playing for 2 years now and still love my red/green dragons deck I’ve upgraded from the starter precons."
"Jump Start is a better tool for new players. It's two packs with a theme that's immediately understandable."
"For beginners, Bloomburrow 2 player pack. My almost-7 year old does well enough with the bunny deck."
#8
Jumpstart
4.3
(3)
"11/10 will always recommend Jumpstart 2020 and 2022."
"You could look into jumpstart, it’s a new-ish format where you combine 2 special 20-card packs to make a 40-card deck."
"A faster one would be jump start but get either 2022 ,2020 and foundation series as the rest sucks."
#9
Uta
4.3
(3)
"Uta is one of the best beginner friendly decks, mainly because of the F I L M engine."
"Currently the best is whatever you can get your hands on. Stock is pretty low and beggars can't be choosers. Closest to competitive out the box would probably be 'Three brothers'. Black Luffy and Uta are also easy to upgrade into decent decks."
"I'm new myself but apparently the Uta starter deck is very strong. You'll want to buy 2 of them and then you can further buy a couple singles to fully flesh it out at which point it's basically perfectly competitive."

"This deck has been fun, it's in a similar vein to BP/Wong without as many tech cards fucking it over"

"Best."

#12
Sera
4.5
(2)
"I'm addicted to Sera>Onslaught+Mystique. All your cards are 1 cost now, have fun!! Best in a Tribunal deck, but I also have her in a Mill/Control/Affliction deck that I have been having fun with."
"She is also pretty decent in ongoing decks. Sometimes a spectrum/onslaught is the right play, sometimes you don't have enough power on the board and playing sera can allow you to do some things."
#13

"Labrynth has to be up there right now. It just plays insanely well into this meta."

(2)
"The most powerful decks out of MOM are either the Red/Blue/White convoke deck or the Blue/White/Black Knights deck."
