Who is the Deck Crafter’s Collection for?
It is for players who want to build a 60 card deck from scratch or power up the decks they already have. The Pokémon Company says the cards can be combined with a player’s own collection to build a strategy ready for everything from friendly matches to major tournaments on the Championship Series stage. It is one of the player focused picks in our Pokémon gifts guide, and a cheaper on ramp than the collector products leading the 30th Celebration line.
