Mixing sleeve batches mid-season
Two production batches of the same color can differ visibly. Buy enough sleeves for the season in one order.
Buying a booster box without checking the prefix
A box without the E prefix is not the English printing, and its cards will not match the codes used in the card database or deck builder.
Using clear-backed sleeves at an event
Clear backs let opponents read card edges. Sanctioned play expects opaque, uniform backs.
Buying a playmat before a deck
Accessories do not improve win rate. Spend on the deck list first and validate it in the deck builder.
