New Player wants a Cheap Deck

[DesStratos]

Hey everyone

My little brother is trying to get into Pokemon, but he doesnt have much money to spend on cards

Are there any decent decks that would be good for league and arent too expensive?

Any help would be appriciated


PS. Mods, sorry if this is in the wrong place, couldnt think of anywhere else to put it.

Shuppet donk is a fairly cheap deck. Uxie donk and Dunsparse Donk are all cheap. Blastgatr is kind of pushing it, but it's kinda cheap.

 

[DesStratos]

thanks for that will look in2 them

Since there is no decklist in this thread (and since you are looking for a cheap deck), this thread belongs in the TCG News & General Discussion forum.

thanks for moving this gliscor



Although thanking is the polite thing to do, it is still spam. Next time please pm them. omahanime

Most of those donk decks run Mr. Mime, which is no longer legal in Modified play.

Look up at your avatar for a hint. Umbreon is a solid format deck, not going to rotate in August, and not only not that hard to play, most young players will have more fun with it than with donk decks. It may not be top tier, but it's more than solid enough to get him through league, and he can always run better and more expensive decks later as he accumulates staple cards.

thanks kitty, i was thinking that and he does like umbreon

 

[TrainerDerek]

I agree the Umbreon theme deck is an excellent place to start. Heck the deck I run for competative play focuses on Umbreon UD. Just get some staples from league promo's and flesh out the deck with some customization and you'll be good to go.

Raichu lock decks are good. Fairly cheap. But Umbreon decks are the best.

Umbreon lock's good, but I would recommend Jumpluff. It'll stay with HGSS, AND is very cheap and easy to play.

 

[Kittymew]

Raichu lock? What's a Raichu lock?

 

[The Yoshi]

^Raichu lock, I assume, uses Amphy PT and Raichu GL(?) to lock Powers. I haven't heard of it either.

 

[thefleeee]

I also recommend Jumpluff, because it is cheap and easy to pick up

 

[CatreBird]

You can like use cheaper decks like some rares that you already have or perhaps start with an easier deck and as he wins league and get more cards, he could use those and so on.

I'd wait for Black&White to come out; a lot of the good "cheap" decks right now (e.g. Gyarados, Sablock, Dialgachomp) are likely to get rotated soon (they have to get rid of SF when the BW rules come into play; Sableye SF with first-turn trainers would be disastrous).

hey could you please tell us what is your price range then we can limit it to 1 deck mabye two

I vote Umbreon UD (not the prime), it's a great lock against a good portion of the format, and is pretty inexpensive. If you want you can PM me for a list.
