Howdy all,

I'm building decks for Raden, Suisei, Bae, Nerissa, and Shiori to play in person.

Being new to the game, I'm not looking for my first decks to be perfect but still want them to be fairly focused in what they do and in getting there without breaking the bank on singles.

TCGPlayer and a local store with bulk have helped a lot, but there are some cards that are difficult to acquire due to price or lack of listings. What are some cards that could be used instead?

The specific cards I'm having trouble with are:

• Totsumachi (I could just buy, but it's going for $7-8 and the Justice Precon only has one per deck.)
• Soraz celebration (I understand this one is going to be reprinted in the summer set releasing September).
• Shiori Buzz HBP04-053 (I know this is a rare card, but the supply for it is very fickle and prices are high)
• Nerissa OSR (EN is $50, but JP is $15, so I might just go with that. Are in-person people cool with JP card versions?)
• 1st Kronii HBP01-094 (I could buy this too, but alternatives would be great! $5 per when I need 4 is a bit high.)

I've been really happy with how affordable this game is to get into, especially with the foils and arts. Thank you for your help with getting started!
