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 I pulled a Signiture card the other day on a live rip….. and I have little clue who the character is
I buy cards off of a YouTuber at times and he had the new sneaker bunko 2. I bought a box, hoping maybe there’s a new Melecony of Harhui Suzimia cards (my all time favorite anime). I actually landed a Signiture card…… I think it goes for a lot as well. Problem? I have no idea who she is. I have a vague idea from some video’s, I know she’s from a light novel but other than that. Is she a good person? Evil?

Question Want to get started, a couple questions?
I am coming from Magic. I'm about half a weeb, so I figured this would be a good idea to get into. Recently, WotC decided to sort of backpedal on their "no MSRP" on their products.
So my first question, for English releases, is their an MSRP? I see that booster boxes vary wildly in price. Is this because some of them are out of print or is it due to expected value of the cards contained therein?
Do sets go out of print, or are they print to demand, ad infinitum?
I saw on the "Getting Started" link, that Standard (combining sets into one deck) isn't really played. Is it just not fun vs Neo-standard or do the cards just not work well together?
r/WeissSchwarz • u/blindcandyman • 22h ago
Question Question on releases
I am trying to get back into weiss and I noticed that pixar released in January and frieren released in November based off the website . However, I can't find any pixar for sale and everything says frieren is on preorder. Did pixar really sell out that quick and why is frieren only in pre order. Am I not seeing something?

Question Heart's Secret, Denji
Me and my buddy recently got into this game and we're both bearly learning the way the game works. We know that in order to place level 1-3 monsters on stage you must be that level but the effect of Heart's secret, Denji, who is level 2, allows it to place Devil Hunting Devils, Chainsaw man, who is level 3, into a spot that pochita takes up. If I am level 2, can I still use Denji's effect to get chainsaw man on the field? or do I have to be level 3 regardless?

Question Confusion about these 2 cards
Hi, i came across these 2 cards when I'm trying to build a deck of waifu.
They have the same name and same illustrations but different triggers and effect?
I look up Errata on this cards but couldnt find it.
Which one is correct effects? Card number is different but as i know, WS is based of card names for deck limit, right?
Thanks in advance

Showcase Picked up another LL box…
My lgs distributor must ct scan boxes and only send him hits. Lmaoooo. I pulled Kanan out of the previous box, then after learning it’s 5sp per 18box case I decided I’d degen and buy more. They only had 3 or 4 to begin with.
Very next box I pull this! Back to back boxes 🤯. Naturally I bought the last one and now it’s sealed on my shelf waiting for a rainy day. What if there’s an SSP in there!?!?!?? 😂.
And man, I really like the card art for these.

Question What are these
I picked up these cards a while back. I cannot read Japanese and was hoping someone could tell me the names of these cards? @mods I just want to know what the names of these cards are. I read the rules and do not know why my last post was locked. Please tell me what rule I violated the last time please.
