Deckbuilding Rules
Before you can battle, you need to construct your deck. The Palworld TCG uses two separate decks: the Main Deck and the Soul Deck.
Main Deck
Must contain exactly 50 cards consisting of Pals, Gears, Events, and Structures. This is your primary resource for playing the game.
Soul Deck
Must contain exactly 10 Soul cards. These are kept separate from your Main Deck and provide energy and abilities.
The 4-Copy Limit
You may include a maximum of 4 copies of any card with the same "Card Name" in your Main Deck.
Note: Card name limits apply regardless of alternate art, rarities, or different card numbers. If two cards share the exact same Name, they count towards the 4-copy limit.
Exception: a card whose text says you may put any number of cards with its card name into your deck, like Beegarde – Knight of the Flower Garden, ignores the limit (still 50 cards total).
Building a Balanced Deck
While you have complete freedom to choose the 50 cards in your Main Deck, we recommend keeping a balanced ratio of Pals to other card types to ensure you don't get stuck without attackers!
- Pals (25-30 cards): The core of your offense and defense.
- Events (10-15 cards): Draw power and sudden removal are critical to turning the tides.
- Gears/Structures (5-10 cards): Long-term buffs and passive advantages.
