Sample Decks
Updated October 25th 2026

This thread aims to to provide decks that are good in the current 2026 Standard format, showcasing popular playstyles and archetypes. The intention for all of these decks is that they are easy to use, and are a great starting point for new players looking to get into the TCG, while also having proven results or consistency. The decks added to the resource here have all been made by experienced deck builders and generally have seen success in tournaments.

Maybe consider updating and expanding these?

I think an easier to play and more standard slowking build would be Aarni Karjala's list. https://limitlesstcg.com/decks/list/30165

Then maybe add zam dudunsparce? As well as Mega Ray for delta reign. For mega ray maybe azul's list from the online tournament he won would be good. Also maybe consider adding pult noir asw.

I can tell you that we are looking to update and expand not just this thread but all our resources soon, because they're not quite yet where we want them to be. Of course we appreciate any input you have and will definitely take it into consideration!
