New player looking to get into competitive Pokemon TCG.
Hello everyone, I'm looking to get into the game coming from Hearthstone and Magic. I think I'm getting the hang of the game but after looking for guides, reading the FAQ and searching the sub I still have some questions.
First of all, I see https://limitlesstcg.com/ mentioned as the best resource to check for the meta and decks but coming from Hearthstone it seems kinda lacklustre, is there no website that has more comprehensive data? Also I saw a few people running 30th anniversary cards in their decks but I can't find any deck lists with them, are there any websites where people share theorycrafting decks, or that track decks from Live?
Secondly, I try watching matches and tournaments to see how decks are played but usually it's a bit hard to follow, I tried looking for streamers/creators that play and comment on their plays at the same time but could not find any with more than 5-10 views. What are some examples of pro players that make educational content for the game, preferably games with play by play commentary?
Lastly, I plan on using the Live game to test decks before I commit to buying a paper deck, I got about 12k Trade Credits but they are mostly from those 3 bundles that you can get as a new player. I'm not sure how generous the game is with them afterwards. Since my collection is pretty small and I won't be converting a lot of cards from pack into credits, how many I should expect to get in a week or a month if I do all my daily quest? Is spending 5k on a new deck a big investment or would I make them back in a week or two?
Thank you all for reading and have a great day!
