Old player trying to get back in, Is set 25 a good set ?

[soundwave187]

all the current block legal sets are worth getting. i'd suggest looking up cards w/ the card search engine and making a deck and aim for specific sets you'd want that way.

I've never saw the point in unlimited format, mainly because I love tournaments and when they first started to make block format everyone just went to block format and everywhere I went all the events where block, also I'm a competitive person so I can't really have fun with the game unless It's challenging and there are sweet prizes on the line XD

But that was one element that I never touched on so I might go with that

yea I've tried using that engine a few time and all it does is confuse me, I'm more of a hands on kinda guy. Plus I figure if i get a case that'll give me PLENTY of new trade bait to get any other cards I might need from the other sets. Though I will take some advice and buy some of WOW and Invasion seeing as those two set seem to be rather popular

Ecery element except water gained a boost.(wind in the starter decks).

go for money sets then. set 25 just might be one considering theres 15 SRs and only 5 are ninjas. gonna be hard for ppl to get what they want. set 24 was a money set w/ sage mode and all.

I prefer to use all the sets as opposed to simply a few, but hey, to each their own. If you ever consider Unlimited, look me up lol. Check out the Nine Tailed Fox that came out in this set. XD.....

Another thought occurred to me, what themes are relevantly unused at the moment. I've always been one for themed decks like Stone or Bee decks

As another unlimited player, I suggest you reconsider you skepticism toward unlimited. It's pretty challenging with the widest variety of deck types & themes. Speaking of which, if you really like making unorthodox themes like stone or bee, then your best bet is unlimited.

If you play block, you'll see the same handful of themes over & over again, but if you play unlimited, you can combine some of the newer cards with the older ones. The tailed beast theme for example, if you want all 9 tailed beasts in it then you have to play unlimited, because most of the past tailed beasts are no longer block legal.

if u want to play competitively, u have to play block (also its a better format)

If you like themes, play unlimited.

if you like competitive play, play block.

also, make sure your area has players before diving in
