Beginner mistakes to avoid

The expensive beginner mistakes are buying singles too early, hoarding cards in hand, ignoring condition, and building a deck with no plan.

Updated for the current Palworld patch

Key takeaways
  • Buying before you know
  • Holding cards too long
  • Ignoring condition
  • Copying a top deck blindly

Buying before you know

Spending on chase cards before you have chosen an archetype is the most common way beginners waste money.

Holding cards too long

Unplayed cards do nothing. Spending your capacity every turn is usually correct even when the play feels small.

Ignoring condition

Unsleeved shuffling wrecks resale value on cards you may later want to trade or grade.

Copying a top deck blindly

A tournament list assumes cards, practice and matchup knowledge you may not have. Learn the plan behind it first.

Not tracking spend

Log purchases from the start. The Pal Stars collection tracker shows what a collection actually cost and what it is now worth.
