About One Piece Budget Deck Profiles

 

Honestly, most One Piece decks are very budget friendly if we ignore competitive cards in the meta format. However, not everyone would like to spend lots of money especially if they have other card games to play. We all want to have deck ideas that can be easy on the wallet, not forcing us to pay tons for a deck build. This is where I am thinking of building One Piece Budget Builds. I might be using the wrong image for this, but it is close enough relating to money.

In terms of budget builds, people would have certain requirements to classify as a budget build. In certain card games, they even call $100 deck a budget build, and I'm like if spending $100 on a deck being called budget build, I don't want to imagine the fully built deck. My requirement for a budget build is mainly $30 or less is classified as a budget build, anything more, I don't think it's a budget build anymore. Of course having $40 to $50 would make the deck better, but most builds with those pricing would end up being a complete build as they are not used in the meta.

There are several problems with budget builds and the first one is pricing of One Piece cards. They are not stable, and can go up and down depending on the future releases of the sets, supporting the new decks or not. Of course, there are some key cards that is a must for every deck, so those cards won't dropped in price any time soon. Once I've post the budget decks, the pricing could change depending on the future supports, whether you could use more SRs or some SRs need to be dropped as it is over the budget requirements.

Secondly, its the currency. Not everyone will be using the same currency, so pricing of cards will be different depending on where you live. This could also be a problem if the budget decks might end up being more expensive when you use your country's currency to build the deck.

Lastly, I will not be posting decks that includes starter deck cards and the reason because, Bandai doesn't print enough of them. Once the starter deck is sold out, then it is gone for good, and you would need to buy then on eBay at a much higher price than MSRP. Well, maybe there are some exceptions and that is if they get reprinted in the sets, like the reprint set, then I might decide to add them to the budget builds. Posting budget builds using cards from booster sets is a lot easier, especially when most of those cards come from one set alone.

Speaking about sets, they are relatively the same as starter decks, once they are gone, they would be gone for good, especially when you are after the old cards, unless they get reprinted. Although, I could mostly find old cards compare to starter decks unless those old cards are staple for the colours.

There is a lot of decision making when making these budget builds, personally, more difficult than posting a normal build since you are restricted to what you can have and what you can't have. Normal builds you can post anything if you have access of the cards. But for budget, people on a tight budget will know this feeling of what cards that can get and can't for their builds.
