I would one day like to try T2. I know some other TCGs happen to (maybe they even did it on purpose,) make the starters in a way where if you bought 4 of them, you had a decks worth of cards.

I know that could be a little trickier with Redemption. I almost did it with the Ruth starters. It could be a simple way for people to get into T2.

Any suggestions to at least make a deck (whether competitive or not).

Or if anyone did anything similar with starter decks combined to a T2?

Can we get a T2 starter decks someday? 

I'm not sure if the threads are still around, but I know there's been several contests/challenges over the years for people to create a competitive T2 deck on a given budget. You might be able to dig one of those up, or maybe I can post one later this week.

Well, I must say after flipping through a lot of the decks that have been higher ranked, I was kind of imagining something different. I was thinking a lot of people were playing with 4 copies of more cards.

That is definitely how things used to be. However, in today's game it is often more important to have an offense and defense that are more versatile than just having 4 copies of a couple enhancements. Having a good mix of draw/search, various battle winners and negates is often the better choice. A lot of it really depends on the type of deck you are running.

what was the general budget? I'd like to have a crack at it and have some free time.
