Updated for the current Palworld patch

Key takeaways
- ✓Splitting two Trial Decks into one pile
- ✓Buying chase cards before playables
- ✓Ignoring the Soul card
- ✓Tracking the list on paper
Splitting two Trial Decks into one pile
Mixing all four colors leaves you unable to pay costs consistently. Keep to the two colors of one deck until you understand the curve.
Buying chase cards before playables
An OSR or SSP parallel changes nothing about how the deck plays. Duplicates of cheap Pals win more games.
Ignoring the Soul card
The Soul card is a resource, not a bonus. Plan the turn you intend to use it.
Tracking the list on paper
Printed lists drift once you swap singles. The deck builder validates copy limits and color costs every time you edit.
