A deck is a plan expressed in 40 cards

Start with a win condition, then make room for early plays, interaction, card access, and the turns that bridge you to the finish. Every inclusion should answer a question your deck actually faces.

Quick answers

Common Worlds Beyond questions

Do I need to play the original Shadowverse first?+

No. Worlds Beyond is a separate client and its official onboarding teaches the current battle system. Returning players will recognize the class identities, but new players can start here.

Which class is easiest for a new player?+

Cygames specifically describes Swordcraft as suitable for beginners learning battle basics. It is a sensible first stop, but sample every class before spending heavily.

How many cards are in a deck?+

A standard deck contains 40 cards from one chosen class plus Neutral cards. The official Deck Portal can copy a popular list or help you build one from scratch.

What should I spend rupies on?+

Card packs are the main use described by the official site. Before committing resources, open the daily free pack, finish early missions and story rewards, then decide which class you want to support.

How do I move my account to another device?+

Link the original game data to a Cygames ID first. On the new device, sign in using the same Cygames ID and the same third-party or email method used to create it.

Is the meta section always current?+

No static guide can promise that. Patch-sensitive deck recommendations point to the official Deck Portal and are clearly separated from evergreen rules and learning advice.
