Pokemon 2016 Rayquaza - Keldeo Battle Arena Deck

If you want to get into the TCG game without having to worry about deck construction right away, but still plan on doing it later on, I wholeheartedly recommend purchasing these decks over all other theme decks. These decks are packed several fairly high-valued trainer cards that are considered staples for standard decks, for a decent price. The decks are actually constructed fairly well, and they are probably the only theme decks out there that can serve as a somewhat solid basis for good deck construction (though they still have some small, glaring flaws that can be fixed with 1 or 2 substitutions) However, if you are looking for a good buy for small children, this may not be the best. Very young kids may get more enjoyment out of decks that are a little easier to play out and offer quicker games. If that's what you're looking for, try one of the "trainer kits" that come with two 30-card decks instead. Those are cheaper, too. All in all, these are two decent, premium decks. Well worth the money if it's what you're looking for, I'd say. They also come with several holofoil energy cards (a little more than half of the energies are holo), which are always nice.

If you (or your child) is new to the Pokemon Card Game, these are the decks you want to start with. Starting with these has several advantages. In addition to including the basic necessities to get started (coin, playmat, instructions), you get two complete decks that are reasonably balanced to play against one another. This makes these decks a great way to learn the rules and have some fun playing without worrying about how to build a deck that plays well. Unlike most of the other theme decks, these include some "staple" cards you find in many competitive decks like VS Seeker, Lysander, N, and Octillery. The inclusion of these cards allows a player to use these decks as a foundation for making more competitive decks later. Additionally, there are four EX cards included in the set (extra powerful Pokemon) that you don't see in other theme decks. My daughter loved these decks and we've had fun playing them against each other. They play a little smoother than some of the other theme decks we've tried (Iron Tide and Night Striker). Definitely recommended.

I love the packaging and variety of Pokémon that came with it, it came unopened and in perfect condition

This is a amazing product for beginners. With 2 pre-made decks, a play mat, rules, and damage counters, you and your opponent can battle and duke it out for who is the best of them all. When I purchased this product, it came with an extra Rayquaza EX, so that was very much lucky. I recommend this product to all Pokémon players, including any New comers, veterans, or experts

This combo deck is great if you are looking for two decks to play against one another. This is an older deck which has "EX" pokemon, a more powerful than normal pokemon with benefits and draw backs. For the price at the time (~$20) it was a great way to get two decks my kids could play each other with. As stand alone decks they are fun but perhaps a bit more advanced than a theme deck which doesn't contain "EX" or "GX" pokemon. I wouldn't necessarily get this as a first deck for a young child and would look at a current "theme" deck. Something to consider is this is an older deck so not only are the pokemon a bit dated but depending on the rules your kids are following these cards may not be allowed in play. The newest pokemon type of "GX" are arguably better in most ways and you might find these decks to be less competitive if being played against more current custom decks with "GX" pokemon. My kids ended up using some of the cards from this deck along with the unending supply they seem to possess to create new decks. If you are planning on playing these two decks against each other they are great, otherwise you might want look at some other options.

Great for beginners or parents like myself that was asked by my son to play Pokémon with him. These are a big step up from the single theme decks they include a lot of good supporter cards and 4 strong "EX" cards (two per deck). They feel like more thought went into them choosing cards that work well together and the included sheet with strategy tips helps beginners. Also included is the online code to add the decks to Pokémon Online game, which is another great way to play and learn more about the Pokémon trading card game.

Bought this for a birthday gift for some Pokemon fans who wanted to get into the game. It is a great value and the best deck to buy on the market. Unlike the other $12.99 starter decks these come with some very useful trainers. The cards are not in season (IE-they can't play them at an official tournament) but they are very good for free-play games and learning the games. They also come with EXs and rare trainers like N and VS Seeker which the $12.99 starter decks do not. They are a great value and a great gift.

Bought two of these deck boxes, one for my brother and one for myself. The cards are awesome, brand new (obviously), and fun to play. Each box came with both decks and deckboxes, a player's guide, Blastoise and Rayquaza flip coins (cheap and plasticky but cool nevertheless), cardboard damage counters and status markers, and a playmat (like a paper poster that comes folded so that it fits in the box). I loved this product and highly recommend it for Pokemon fans and new players, but buy a better playmat (this one looks fragile) and some card sleeves to protect your cards.

Nachdem ich wieder auf den Geschmack von Pokemon TCG kam (nach fast 20 Jahren) stieß ich auf dieses Kampf Arena Deck und war sehr gespannt auf den Inhalt. Glücklicherweise fand ich dieses Produkt auf Amazon, da es m.W.n. nicht mehr produziert wird (kann mich auch irren). Zum Inhalt: Es sind zwei komplette Decks (mit jeweils 60 Karten), eine hilfreiche Anleitung zum Einsatz der beiden Decks, 2 Münzen, sowie Schadensmarken enthalten. Jedes Deck beinhaltet 2 schöne und starke EX-Pokemonkarten und 8 glänzende Energiekarten. Ich habe damals nur Pokemonkarten gesammelt und musste mich daher erst einmal in die Regeln des Kartenspiels einlesen und wollte mit diesen Decks das Spielen erlernen. Und genau für diesen Zweck ist dies ein wirklich tolles Produkt! Man sucht sich eine(n) Mitspieler(-in) und kann sich gleich in den Kampf stürzen! Man muss sich nicht mühsam erst einmal ein Deck zusammenstellen und dann auch noch sicherstellen, dass die gegeneinander antretenden Decks in etwa gleich stark sind - um einseitigen Frust vorzubeugen :) Die beiden Decks in diesem Set sind wunderbar aufeinander abgestimmt und die Karten in den jeweiligen Decks harmonisieren sehr gut miteinander! Jedes Deck hat seine Stärken und Schwächen und je mehr man sich mit den Karten vertraut macht, desto komplexer und spannender werden die Duelle! Für Einsteiger ist dieses Set ein super Einstieg in die Welt des Pokemon-Kartenspiels! Man lernt den strategischen Einsatz vieler versch. Kartentypen und dies führt indirekt dazu, dass man ein Gefühl für das kohärente Zusammenspiel unterschiedlicher Karten bekommt. Mir persönlich hat dies insofern geholfen, dass ich jetzt durchaus kompetitive Decks (natürlich nicht ohne mich etwas im Netz schlau zu machen) zusammenstellen kann. Natürlich gibt es jetzt (Stand: Juli 2020) weitaus stärkere Karten (GX, Tag Team, VMax) als die enthaltenen EX-Pokemon, jedoch sind viele der in diesen beiden Decks enthaltenen Karten (besonders die Trainerkarten) auch heute noch durchaus brauchbar und sind Bestandteil einiger Top-Decks im Turnierspiel. Daher: Klare Kaufempfehlung von mir! Als einziges Manko würde ich erwähnen, dass die Karten auf Englisch sind. Dies ist vor allem schade, da junge Interessenten womöglich vor einer Sprachbarriere stehen. Aber wenn man ein paar Spiele gespielt hat und einem die Karten erklärt werden, sollte dies hoffentlich kein Problem mehr sein :) Aktuell gibt es mit den Liga-Kampfdecks (Reshiram & Glurak GX sowie Pikachu & Zekrom GX) noch eine sehr spannende Alternative zu diesem Produkt. Obwohl die beiden Sets separat vertrieben werden, so sind sie genau wie bei diesem Produkt sehr gut aufeinander abgestimmt und garantieren spannende Duelle. Des Weiteren beinhalten die beiden Sets einige der besten momentan im Umlauf befindlichen Karten! Ich besitze alle Arena-/Kampfdecks des Pokemon-Kartenspiels und würde die beiden neuen Liga-Kampfdecks sowie dieses Arena Kampf Deck vom Spaßfaktor her als ebenbürtig bewerten :)

Llegó lo que se esperaba.

It's a nice training deck... I brought this for my boy. As a more advance deck from the Eevee/Pikachu deck. Happily training and Pokemon status and effects now 😊

Product is hard to find online and I think I got it for a pretty good deal here. Product appeared to be brand new, it was still sealed. All cards were present according to the card list on the back the item. The decks were balanced against each other. They are not a face paced decks as others have mentioned but great for younger players or those learning to play the game. I had a lot of fun playing with these cards with my nephew!
