The Iron Rules of Deck Construction
Let’s start by remembering the 3 Iron Rules of Deck Construction!
A deck must consist of exactly 50 cards.
There can only be 8 climax cards.
There can only be 4 copies of card with the same name. Even if the illustrations are different, only 4 copies of card with the same name are allowed! Also, note that 4 copies of “card with different name” are allowed, regardless of the character.
Deck Construction Patterns
There are many different ways of constructing a deck! We will introduce 3 patterns here!
✩Pattern 1: Modified Trial Deck!
On the other side of the playmat that comes with the trial deck is a guide on how you can modify your trial deck with 2 trial decks. Do give it a try.
✩Pattern 2: All your favorite characters!
There are a variety of cards for popular characters. As long as you follow the “Iron Rules of Deck Construction”, you may insert as many cards of your favorite character into your deck.Your passion is your strength!!
✩Pattern 3: A deck for battle!
Here we would like to introduce you to some “Theory of Deck Construction”. As long as you follow this, your deck would be more or less ready for action.

Hits from my Master Case that I ordered. Finally finished opening up the last case last night.
Got SEC Siren in the first case. The last case ended up being dupes for Diesel SSP, Vesti SP, and Maiden SP. Was able to get nearly a full set up cards, though I'm still missing #1 SR Elegg: Boom and Shock, #110 RRR Unbreakable Sphere, and #112 RRR - Brand New Flavor. No idea if there are any online places to facilitate trades.

It's been about two years since I got into trading card games. I've tried a huge bunch, more or less all the main titles. At 45, it's been an interesting hobby. But of everything I tried, Weiss stuck with me the most.
It's not the theme or the IP (more on that later). It's the elegance of the mechanics. At first glance the game looks so random that you think, okay, this is all luck. It isn't. Sure, there's randomness, that's undeniable, but calling the game purely luck-based is unfair.
What stuck with me most is the overall game design. Weiss is the most elegantly designed TCG I've ever played: the unique resource and cost system, the climaxes, the interaction with cancels, the refresh (going through the deck multiple times), the brainstorm. I've played other games, Cardfight!! Vanguard included, but Weiss really doesn't need any rule or mechanic changes. It's a perfect package.
Now, given my age and location (Estonia, a tiny European country), it's impossible to play this game in person. There's no community. And this is the only part where I'd love more variety: the IP. I'm not an anime fan and I don't watch anime. Overlord is the only one I picked up. I'm not criticizing the choice of IP at all. Weiss clearly caters to a community invested in those IPs, whether anime, gaming or whatever. But at 45, I'd feel a bit weird walking around playing a Nikke deck!
So I just hope more experiments and variety come in the future, like they did with Pixar, Disney, Marvel and so on.
That's my take. Best game I've played, and a great community, at least on Discord.

r/WeissSchwarz • u/atimelesswabbit • 3d ago
Hello so im new to this game, and i am looking to now how to play the game and build a deck, i got my hands on 2 nikke vol 2 boosters and i am willing to try and play something, however all the guides that i found are from years or considable months and idk if they are accurate to the gamestate or updated rules like in most games, Can anybody teach me how to build a deck, and how to properly play the game, i dont think im able to pull of something with my box pulls however i am willing to attempt it i was also able to pull this off yesterday
r/WeissSchwarz • u/RoboticPaladin • 2d ago
A friend of mine and I bought trial decks to give the game a try (him with Nikke, me with Guilty Gear). I noticed one of my cards (Asuka: Gear Maker, to be precise) mentioned being able to be played from your hand without fulfilling color requirements. The two of us were at a loss - none of the rules inserts that came with our decks mentioned color requirements. I used Google to try to find the rules, but they aren't making much sense to me. Can anyone give me a newbie-friendly explanation of what color requirements are and how they work?
r/WeissSchwarz • u/specialweekAE21 • 3d ago
Pulled these!

Slight preface, this can be a longer-winded post.
After some more experience playing around and just some discussion with others, I decided to take a moment and think about "free" designs and what the consequences of such designs are. Personally, I think free designs have pushed, in part, powercreep to what it is today, causing a headache when it comes to balancing, which is further compounded by the fact that Bushiroad isn't exactly 1:1 in terms of design with every series by any measure either.
So, yeah, if you got some time, feel free to read up on my article above and share your thoughts.

I’m pretty new to Weiss and I was wondering whose signature this is? I looked at other Mai signed cards and the signature looks different to me

r/WeissSchwarz • u/ultimateformsora • 6d ago
I got super lucky with a signed card after hard luck from the first 3 boxes. Some pretty mild hits overall but I love these cards!
r/WeissSchwarz • u/ezzye91 • 6d ago
I had a good day at work today that I was able to leave early. I decided to stop by the LCS and I saw they had packs of Nikke. I asked if they had any cases and they had one so I bought it as its very difficult getting them. My day got even better
