#1
Pokémon
4.5
(4)
"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."
#2
Starter Deck
5.0
(3)
"Quite literally any starter deck"
"Literally any of the starter decks, they're designed for casual play for beginners."
"These are pretty simple so I definitely recommend them for new casual players"
#3
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."
#4
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."
#5
Pokemon
4.3
(3)
"The Battle Academy box is a really great way for two people to learn the basics."
"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."
#6
N/A
4.0
(3)
"This deck has been fun, it's in a similar vein to BP/Wong without as many tech cards fucking it over"
"Floowandereeze, Melodious."
"There is a lot to choose from as well as a lot of place for creativity."
#7
Magic
5.0
(2)
"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."
#8
Fire King Structure Deck
4.5
(2)
"Gives the best base for a deck with lots of room to upgrade"
"It's the only one you'll probably find in store like Wal-Mart or Target."
#9
Blue-Eyes Structure Deck
4.5
(2)
"Best."
"Decent deck, awesome staples and 'easily' upgradable"
#10
Labrynth
4.5
(2)
"Labrynth has to be up there right now. It just plays insanely well into this meta."
"Labrynth rn is a solid cheap deck imo, in this meta is not bad."
#11
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."
#12
MangoMedic
4.5
(2)
"The MangoMedic deck covers all of the third prof subjects and is very well organised."
"There's a Mangomedic deck for NEET PG."
#13
Varga
4.5
(2)
"Deck is too good and extremely aggressive."
"One of the easiest if not the easiest deck rn is varga."
#14
MOM
4.5
(2)
"The most powerful decks out of MOM are either the Red/Blue/White convoke deck or the Blue/White/Black Knights deck."
"The starter decks and the MOM decks are fine enough, Especially the starter decks since they were meant for beginners."
#15
Labyrinth
4.0
(2)
"I'd say to invest in Labrynth, Runick, Centur-ion, or Spright, as they always seem to have something they can do in most metas."
"If you like Endymions and want to play something budget yet competitive I would suggest Labyrinth or Melodius."
#16
Kuldotha Red
4.0
(2)
"The current meta is dominated by Kuldotha Red."
"Aggro: Kuldotha Red."
#17
Charizard
4.0
(2)
"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."
#18

4.0
(2)
"I always recommend Melodious because of what it can do for the price."

#24
Pidgeot
3.0
(2)
"Pidgeot control, but its more harder to use because it has different cards for different situations."

#25

3.0
(2)
"Yeah, you can buy some cheap constructed decks, you can buy packs and make your own decks, jumpstart, etc."
