Pokemon Trading Card Game: 30th Celebration Battle Deck

The Pokemon Trading Card Game 30th Celebration Battle Deck is a ready-to-play 60-card deck made to help you jump straight into Pokemon TCG battles. Each deck is tournament-worthy right out of the box and celebrates Pokemon’s 30-year legacy with themed cards and artwork. It suits newer players who want a finished deck and anyone who wants a quick, fun way to mark the anniversary.

Here is what comes in each 30th Celebration Battle Deck:

• 1 ready-to-play 60-card deck
• 1 play coin
• 1 single-player playmat

Please note that this is a random selection. The specific Battle Deck you receive is not guaranteed, so which deck arrives in your box is a surprise.

The coin and playmat mean you have what you need to start a match once you have a friend and a table. A deck of exactly 60 cards is the standard size for a Pokemon TCG deck, so it plays like a regular constructed deck, not a mini or novelty version.

The 30th Celebration line also includes a wide range of other products. If you want to open packs from the same anniversary expansion, the Pokemon Trading Card Game 30th Celebration Booster Bundle pairs well with a Battle Deck.

A Battle Deck Made for Fast Starts

Battle decks are designed so that you do not need any extra cards. You open the box, read the cards, set the playmat down, flip the coin and begin. For newcomers that cuts out the hardest part of the hobby, which is figuring out what to buy and how to put a deck together. For experienced players, a battle deck is a handy spare to teach friends or to bring to casual game nights.
