What to Play - Budget Decks
BRS-TEF
These decks aren’t likely to win any big tournaments, but many of them offer a relatively cheap way to get into the Pokémon Trading Card Game and are steppingstones toward more competitive decks. Pricier cards like Prime Catcher from Temporal Forces and Forest Seal Stone from Silver Tempest are used sparingly in these lists but are present in several of them. As you continue your journey as a player of the Pokémon Trading Card game, you’ll often find it’s worth it to pick up these less-than-budget-friendly staples as they’re common components for many decks.
Decks with a star (☆) are the most competitively viable options—or can be upgraded to be competitive with relative ease.
