    >REPRINTS WHEN?!
    Keep checking your local LGSs, resupply is in progress. BT-05 is now officially released in the West!
    If you can't wait and have no other options, your best bet to get cards right now is singles from places like TCGplayer (see links section).

    Never buy precon decks for over $15 (MSRP $10), boosters for over $6 (MSRP $4), or boxes for over $120 (MSRP $92). Don't feed scalper faggots.

    >ROTATION WHEN??
    Never, the best you can hope for is Block Constructed tournaments once there are enough sets in that block.

    QRD colour overview:

    >Red:
    Unga bunga. Better DP gain and Security Attack than other colours.
    Unique-ish mechanic is Advance
    Removal: DP-based

    >Blue:
    Advantage. Gains memory, draws cards, multiple attacks, and Jamming.
    Unique mechanics are evolution source removal and playing Digimon from the evolution stack.
    Removal: bounce and tuck, and sometimes "can't attack or block"

    >Yellow:
    Control and recovery. Lots of cards that debuff enemy Digimon.
    Unique mechanic is Security Recovery/ Manipulation.
    Removal: reducing DP

    >Green:
    Fast and cheap evolution; control through battle. Also has the most Digi-Burst.
    Unique mechanic is Digisorption.
    Removal: suspending and attacking direct

    >Purple:
    Digimon sacrifice, Graveyard, and Option card synergy.
    Unique mechanic is Retaliation. Unique-ish mechanic is revival.
    Removal: level-based direct destruction

    >Black:
    Defence, and weird gimmicks. Higher than average access to level 7s. Security "trap" Digimon. The devs are apparently aware and working to better define this colour.
    Unique mechanics are Reboot and Decoy.
    Removal: De-Digivolve and cost-based direct destruction

    >White:
    Not quite a real colour yet. Mostly level 7s and their support, and some gimmick Digimon.

    >THE BASICS:

    Decent beginner skeleton:
    >15 Rookies
    >12 Champions (4 of which are blockers minimum)
    >8 Ultimates
    >4 primary Megas, 2 secondary Megas
    >3 Tamers
    >4 powerful Option cards
    >2 card wiggle room for techs or higher ratios of something you want
    >4 of the better egg, 1 of the less good egg

    Noob traps:
    >multi colour decks (difficult to build right and pilot)
    >starter deck WarGreymon
    >running too many option cards
    >stuffing too many different cards into your deck at low ratios (aka no consistency)
    >not picking a strategy and sticking to it when building which leads to unfocused decks
    >using only effect Digimon because you think vanillas don't do anything
    >shotgunning Hammer Spark as soon as you draw it
    >being overly conservative with memory even when it isn't beneficial to do so
    >attacking the stack without a followup plan if you die to security
    >playing roughly equal numbers of Rookies/Champions/Ultimates/Megas

    Multicolour meme shit:
    >If you want to run "honest" multicolour, the best way to hybridize is to have one main colour and one ancillary colour. The main colour forms the core of the deck and provides the necessary draw power through evolution, and the ancillary colour grants access to other techs. Tamers and on-plays are the main things you should be looking at for ancillary colours. Or, if the core of your deck doesn't really need its eggs a la Purple D-Brigade, you can use an off colour egg to give you access to tech cards.

    >Colour splits CAN work, but aren't easy to build. You have to be very purposeful with them. Generally speaking you have to be willing to "hard cast" higher level off-colour Digimon a la Purple D-Brigade, or only play tamers and options in your secondary colour.
