This series is updated regularly to ensure all information is accurate. Once you know how to play the Pokemon TCG, the next step is to buy what you need to do it!
One of the best, and sometimes most overwhelming, elements of Pokemon is the massive amount of cards available. These are pre-constructed, ready-to-play decks that allow anyone to start playing right away. While theme decks are incredibly convenient, they are only the beginning of what is available to play the game. In this chapter, we cover everything you need to know to decide how you want to collect the Pokemon TCG!
The Pokemon TCG is a trading card game, meaning players collect cards to build unique decks and play against each other. The primary way players collect these cards is through booster packs. A booster pack contains 10 random cards, similar to a pack of baseball cards. Each card has a rarity, ranging from common the most frequently included cards to super rare the least frequently included cards.
The standard distribution of cards in a booster pack is 6 common cards, 3 uncommon card, and 1 rare or better card. Booster packs pictured above are released in sets. Each set contains a fixed number of new cards, usually around It also offers a decent number of valuable rares and mythics. Oh, and by the way. The power level of the set is so high that several of the cards had to be banned in tournament play!
The thing is, Core sets are great choices for any beginner. This is where it gets personal. The reason why we collect cards is because of their collection value. That nostalgia value wins every time. So yes, Commander Legends will most probably keep its value or rise over time. M21 is a very reasonably priced way to get them. Plus, the collector boosters for the set have several showcase-style cards, which look fantastic and will probably gain more value over time.
I think the answer would be Core Set booster packs. Booster packs are meant to build the core of your deck, not the finer parts. Before wrapping up everything, I want to highlight something anyone ranting about MTG should say: do not buy packs for long term investment. This is almost definitely considered gambling and you might end up with nothing. Speaking of boxes — if you do want to buy a lot of packs, you may get a way better deal if you buy a booster box instead.
There are a lot of fancy sets out there with new releases and collections and whatnots, but M21 is the booster pack you want to buy.

This is going to sound preachy, but it needs to be said. Do not buy packs to try to open value. Just buy singles. You could make a Cube by buying singles if you wanted to. Hell, you could even just open packs online with our draft simulator for the same experience without spending your money.

Showcase foils, foil expeditions, the whole lot of them. There are other boosters that have unique experiences. Mystery Booster , Jumpstart , Commander Legends , but these are the main overlapping ones! Masters Double Masters , Modern Masters, etc. I have nothing else to say about this. Just… Sigh. I want to preface this by reminding you that this is somewhat subjective.
Drafting Magic is more about experiences than value. Priceless, in a sense. While being super expensive, Ultimate Masters is a fun draft format. It has a decent pool of archetypes and some awesome cards.
With that being said, it also has very limited complexity in comparison to other Magic sets when it comes to deckbuilding. The box toppers are also awesome! I and the community love both Conspiracy sets.
This is one that I was apprehensive about placing onto this list. Some people hate the set because of its effects on other formats. However, with that being said, I feel like it deserves a place on here.
But, before I go into what makes this draft format so great, I have to shout out Time Spiral which, again, is getting a remaster set. It was omitted for reasons similar to Invasion.
And I bet that Time Spiral Remastered would take this spot. Modern Horizons has a lot of things going for it.
