(This is a copy paste from another one of my posts figured it would get more eyeballs here)
First off if this isn’t the right place to post or there’s a better community to throw this in please let me know.
Now off to the post. Me and my GF got into the whole ttrpg and card game and actually have money to do so
Anyways this whole silly adhd interest between us made me dig up my pokemon cards (binder form when I was in elementary school and decks I built like a couple years ago)
My distribution of my decks is 30/15/15
Now whether this is Pokemon/energy/items I honestly don’t remember. But is it a good distribution or would I want to to less uniform numbers like 28/12/20
If I do where should I start deck building cus honestly I bet I have decent cards but absolutely terrible synergy between cards and stuff
I’d recommend dabbling in the tcg live app on mobile/pc, i believe you can enter your deck codes if you still have them & practice with the current legal standard
Oh definitely not
This is more playing between friends nothing serious, but I do like having my decks be good rather than just a 30/15/15 distribution yk
Obviously it depends on the deck, but in general you want a large number of item cards and less pokemon and energy.
Item/trainer cards provide a lot of ways to draw/recycle and support your pokemon/energy and you’ll likely want to see a bigger ratio of them in your opening hand. Especially since you’re not going to go through too many more pokemon than you have prize cards and you can only have 1 active pokemon at a time with 6 total in play.
So the exact ratio depends on the deck and the pokemon you are trying to support, but essentially you shouldn’t be running more the 15 pokemon and 15 energy on a high end. 12 pokemon is pretty standard. Most of the rest of your deck should be search and draw cards which there should be plenty of.
Disclaimer: I don’t play this game.
I have experience with MTG but only a passing knowledge of Pokemon. My understanding is that it would depend entirely on what your deck does. Are you using pokemon that are expensive to use? Do you have any means of getting energy besides just drawing it? Do you have ways to draw more cards? All these things will come into play to determine the ratio you need. With experience you can guesstimate these things, but to be sure, the only way is to play the deck a bunch and adjust depending on what you feel you need to add.
Thanks for the tip
As I said in another comment I struggle when starting (this goes for everything)
So far my gameplan is to get about 10 mons I really would ideally be pulling, get some support cards to pull them then just kinda fill in the gaps with what will have good synergy
