Build TCG Deck

Construct a trading card game deck from archetype selection through final optimization, following a structured process that works across Pokemon TCG, Magic: The Gathering, Flesh and Blood, and other major TCGs.

When to Use

• Building a new deck for a specific tournament format or casual play
• Adapting an existing deck to a changed meta-game
• Evaluating whether a new card or set release warrants a deck change
• Teaching someone the principles of deck construction
• Converting a deck concept into a tournament-ready list

Inputs

• Required: Card game (Pokemon TCG, MTG, FaB, etc.)
• Required: Format (Standard, Expanded, Modern, Legacy, Blitz, etc.)
• Required: Goal (competitive tournament, casual play, budget build)
• Optional: Preferred archetype or strategy (aggro, control, combo, midrange)
• Optional: Budget constraints (maximum spend, cards already owned)
