Getting started
This hobby is supposed to feel like opening a pack with a friend — not like a test you already failed. If you’re new, you’re in the right place.
Five short walks. Buy cards, get the player name shops actually use, find a table, practice at home, pick a deck when you’re ready. No jargon without a translation.
01 · Buy singles
Sign up, read a listing like a human, and place a first order you won't regret. Player-to-player shops are often cheaper than a markup storefront — if you know what Near Mint actually means.

02 · Get a player account
The username you check in with at events is separate from where you buy cards. Bandai TCG+, Play! Pokémon, and a Wizards account — we'll send you to the official doors.

03 · Find your shop
Official locators for Bandai nights, Pokémon League, and Magic at WPN stores. We don't invent a map. We show you the real ones, then walk you to the door.

04 · Practice online
Fumble a turn with nobody watching. Then walk into a shop like you belong there — because you do. Everyone at that table was new once.

05 · Suggested decks
Suggested decks are coming. For now: a $2 common plays the same game as a $600 alt art. We'll help you pick a style, not a paycheck.
