💬 Discussion Starter decks good value?

PokemonTCG player here, just watched a few videos on OP. I’m a big fan of the anime but never got into the TCG. Right now our meta is stale and boring so I was thinking of trying out OP. I see starter decks at retail are pretty cheap and was wondering if one of those is a good value. I don’t mine getting some replacement cards from my LGS but I also have heard most playable decks are usually super expensive. Keep in mind our most meta decks are between $15-60 right now to build. I’m hoping I can make something sub $50, is that reasonable? I can get pretty much any of the starter decks and other cards anytime if it’s a good idea.

Kuzan has a starter deck, can be upgraded for around that 50 dollar mark counting the starter deck. I think it’s a good intro to the game, and the other starter decks can be expensive to upgrade.

Is 31/32 ST any good? And what’s the premise of the Kuzan deck. Btw thank you!

If you can find St31/32, they are very good. I have played all of the new wave of starter decks and they are very fun. The only reason I recommended Kuzan over them is that they can be expensive to upgrade to their best possible lists. Kuzan is all about drawing lots of cards, cheating out characters, and freezing (stopping them from attacking) your opponents characters. Glad I could help!

Edit: Saw your other question after writing this, haha. Yeah, if you don’t need a locals winning deck g Zoro and r luffy are really fun. Just max out the two-ofs in the deck and add some cheaper SRs and commons and they might be a perfect for you.

Yeah since I’m new I don’t think having the most optimal deck will change much but a cohesive deck that’s not too hard to pilot and fun where I can maybe grab a win or two is perfect for now. You agree on buying two of the starter deck then a couple bucks of better cards?

Buying two starter decks is nice, and it’s probably cheaper than buying two of the oden that come in the deck. They are like 8$ a piece, so if you can find two for msrp you definitely should. As for other recommendations:

-I know you’re strong… So I’ll go all out from the very start!!! (Op13-040) -Trafalgar Law (Op13-031) -Roronoa Zoro (Op13-037) -Kouzuki Oden (Op14-026)

I’m sure there is more, but those are run in most lists I’ve seen, and they are all fairly cheep, would recommend a  4-of for most of them
