TCG: Ampharos ex Battle Deck (Ready-to-Play 60-Card Deck)

Great deck really powerful card. Good value for the money brilliant variety of cards and easy and fun to play.

Pokémon make a number of products aimed at learning how to play Pokémon the Card Game ( also referred to as simply TCG). This is a ‘1 Pokéball’ pack ( as seen by the single Pokémon ball on the front bottom left of the pack), meaning it’s designed for someone just learning how to play the game, as opposed to a serious player, or someone just collecting the cards. In TCG there are 2 players, each having a full deck of 60 cards. This box contains one full deck of 60, so for one player. It consists firstly of one key character card , like Lucario Ex, MewTwo Ex, Chien Pao Ex or Amphoros Ex in this case, depending on the deck pack bought. (These single cards are special promo cards, highly collectible, and collectors do buy these packs, remove that single card, and sell the rest of the pack on, so do take care of that featured card). Then there are a mix of other character cards, plus some energy cards (you can’t make any moves without energy) and some supporter cards, that get you out of a jam or speed things up. There will be several of some cards, as you start play with only 7 cards at first, the rest being in the deck etc. For this reason someone just collecting the cards will find duplicates. It’s also not ideal for someone playing competitively as the cards inside don’t have enough of the more recent, or high level cards (they would be better off with a Battle League pack, which is a 3 Pokéball pack so for more advanced players - and of course is more expensive ). However for most fairly new players this is a great starting point. There is a good range of cards in each pack, you can play straight away (assuming you have an opponent also with a full deck!) they are great value compared to single card packs, and you can use them as a basis to learn how to customise your own deck as you go along. I’ve bought 6 now (three for me!) and have found them all excellent value. PS If never played TCG before then I’d recommend the Pokémon Academy - also on Amazon - that talks you through the game, step by step, and includes a playing board and three starter decks.

Excellent set of cards, didn’t realise they came with a handy battle poster and counters which was very useful

So my son is addicted to Pokémon cards and I wanted to get him some cards but different. When I saw that this battle deck was £9.99 I had to grab one for my son for Christmas. It contains around 60 cards so plenty of cards for my son to look at and put in his folder. This item arrived rather late then it should have been but for the price and for the fact it’s good value for money it was well worth waiting for.

Great product would recommend to all

A pretty tough deck to beat. My 8yr old son and I play the card game and he quickly worked out the deck’s secret weapon. Never mind Kangaskhan, Bouffalant is nails - a 110HP Behemoth with punishing attack multipliers.

This is a really great deck for beginners or if you wanted to advance on this deck, I suggest adding three more Shien Puo EX and a lapras EX. These are official they are not fake.

I was satisfied with the purchase however they need to add more ex in the deck

Es un juego que necesita jugadas rápidas y saber recuperar energías pronto, así como cuándo sacar más cartas del mazo. Excelente para modificarse

What you get is your complete 60 card deck, a sheet of punch-out damage markers, a brief guide explaining how to play, and a playmate, a coin, and that's about it. If you want the poison and burn markers, you need to buy either an ETB (Elite Trainer Box) or other sets that include them. That said, as long as your opponent isn't using moves that poison or burn, you should be just fine without them. If looking for card sleeves, they should be at least 2.5 in x 3.5 in, but otherwise this set is wonderful for both collectors and those looking to start playing alike.

Sent in an envelope instead of a box, the packaging was definitely lacking in keeping the product protected. It's disappointingly beaten up, especially when it's intended for a gift.

came in good condition

Alles super
