What is included in a Start to Play bundle?

The Start to Play bundles are curated by TCGVault for anyone who wants to play their first Pokémon TCG match without separately sourcing cards, sleeves and a deck box first. You get enough cards in one pack to run a deck, sleeves in standard Pokémon size to protect them right away, and a deck box to keep everything together.

Every bundle is built with real play in mind: enough cards for a proper match, no extras you will not actually use. That is the difference with a standalone ETB, which centres more on opening boosters than playing right away.

Because we curate these bundles ourselves from our existing range, exact contents can vary slightly with stock, but the core idea (cards, sleeves, deck box) always stays the same.

Start to Play or a Battle Deck?

A Battle Deck is an official, fixed 60-card deck with a specific strategy. A Start to Play bundle is put together more flexibly and puts more weight on the protection and storage included. Both are a solid first step, the choice comes down to whether you prefer an official deck with a set strategy or a practical starter pack.

A great first step for yourself, or a gift for someone who has never played before.
