How do I build a Deck?

The Iron Rules of Deck Construction

Let’s start by remembering the 3 Iron Rules of Deck Construction!

A deck must consist of exactly 50 cards.

There can only be 8 climax cards.

There can only be 4 copies of card with the same name. Even if the illustrations are different, only 4 copies of card with the same name are allowed! Also, note that 4 copies of “card with different name” are allowed, regardless of the character.

Deck Construction Patterns

There are many different ways of constructing a deck! We will introduce 3 patterns here!

✩Pattern 1: Modified Trial Deck!

On the other side of the playmat that comes with the trial deck is a guide on how you can modify your trial deck with 2 trial decks. Do give it a try.

✩Pattern 2: All your favorite characters!

There are a variety of cards for popular characters. As long as you follow the “Iron Rules of Deck Construction”, you may insert as many cards of your favorite character into your deck.Your passion is your strength!!

✩Pattern 3: A deck for battle!

Here we would like to introduce you to some “Theory of Deck Construction”. As long as you follow this, your deck would be more or less ready for action.

Showcase Got insanely lucky at lgs

106 Upvotes

So the sec cindy on the left is the first one I posted with my hits a few weeks ago. I've since opened roughly 93 boxes. Today I went to the lgs here on Oahu. Aloha card shop here. There were 3 boxes left on the shelf. I assume whoever pulled on it, pulled 2 sp then stopped because there was no sp in the 3 boxes I pulled. However I got an ssp crown and sec Cindy, the exact hits I want for those tiers.

If someone had/has access to their security cams they could easily see me in the shop in the corner today.

Not to make all of you get fomo, but just be aware even if you pull until you get the sp you could be leaving a lot in the box with the way the new case has flex slots. To be fair most times it's nothing.

Deck Help Advice on building a deck as a newbie.

3 Upvotes

I have a lot of azur lane, re zero (mostly vol 3) and Nikke cards, I wanna build a deck and learn to play, I’m part of some discord groups and someone said they’d teach me, so I would appreciate any advice on how to build a deck. What types of cards to use, events, characters, climax, which color is best for a beginner or how to choose which color to play, are there benefits for multi colored decks, card synergy advice, just anything you can think of. I’ve gained a very basic understanding of the game watching videos and reading the cards, it looks like a lot of fun, so whatever you feel is good advice for me, please share. Thank you.

Content The Ham Sandwich Deck - Clock One, Draw Two

clockonedrawtwo.com

7 Upvotes

A ham sandwich is a sandwich composed of two slices of pre-sliced commercial bread with a tiny sliver of processed ham product. There you go, that's it.

In the context of Weiss Schwarz and card games in general, it is defined as a deck that has little-to-no core identity. It is a slab of generic cards that have all been preset and optimized fully for that sole designation.

And, in the case for many card companies, it can be seen as an easier way to design product, handing out a pre-assembled package that feigns its designs as creative and innovative, but, in reality, the player is just bringing together these already defined and marked scattered pieces together.

Content NIKKE – Rapi Time (R/Y)

clockonedrawtwo.com

17 Upvotes

Guess what time it is? It's Rapi Time!

At one point in the story, Rapi and Red Hood have an encounter and an exchange that greatly changes the projection of both their lives forever.

Represented in Weiss Schwarz, Rapi's deck pushes forward, dealing significant blows of damage, and should your opponent dare to cancel, her finisher provides an extra charge, dealing large blows of damage based upon the climaxes that you reveal from your own deck. Empowered by Red Hood's blessing, Rapi is also supplemented by additional tools and the assistance of her friends.
