How many cards are in a Palworld TCG deck?
A tournament-legal Palworld OFFICIAL CARD GAME deck is a fixed 50-card main deck plus its Soul deck, and you may include at most 4 copies of any one card name. Parallel printings such as SR, SP, OSR, SSP and TSP share the card name of the base print, so an EBP01-001 and an EBP01-001OSR still count toward the same 4-copy limit.

Main deck
Build exactly the required main-deck count — no more, no less. Running over is the single most common deck-check failure at organized play, so count your list twice before you register it in the deck log.
The 4-copy rule counts names, not codes
Copy limits apply per card name. Mixing a base EBP01-011 with its parallel printings does not let you exceed four; it only changes how the deck looks. Buy parallels for display value, not for extra copies.
Soul deck
Soul cards live in their own zone and are registered separately from the main deck. Check the current official rules document for the exact Soul count before an event, because that number is set by rules updates rather than by the set you are playing.
Language and printing legality
Cards must be identifiable and, at English-language events, in a printing the judge can read. Japanese prints of the same card are usually allowed with an official translation on hand — confirm with the event organizer first.
Sleeves and condition
All cards need identical opaque-backed sleeves. A scratched or bent card that is identifiable from the back is a marked-card problem, so swap heavily played copies before you register.
