Starting out a collection
 
Is it better to buy a theme deck to get started with collecting or a number of booster packs? And please don't flame for the n00b question, I've been searching the forum for the past 2 hours.

Cheers
Fraser

My suggestion would be to buy a couple of decks, just to bulk out your collection and get a decent number of trainer cards, and to add to that with a decent number of boosters. My local gaming shop offers 5 boosters for the price of 4, so every week on payday I go and pick up an extra 5 booster packs. I only started collecting again a couple of months ago, after years of not playing, and already I have about 750 cards (mostly from boosters).

Thanks mate. I'll let you know how I get on. Very few places advertising as selling cards in my part of the UK so will have to go hunting but if all else fails it'll be online. Already bought some on ebay but that might have been a n00b move.

The theme decks are not worth buying if you're just collecting, typically. If you're looking to play the game with others, though, they're worth it.

I see. I'll stick to eBay lots and boosters then. Cheers!
