SEALED-BOX: DECK CONSTRUCTION ON A LIMITED BUDGET

I actually got into this game originally as a collector, and so by the
time I discovered what a good game it is I already had a MOUNTAIN of
cards which is one of the reasons I like to explore the wilder shores of
rare-rare combos. Over the past couple of months however I have been
playing the game rather differently, trying to evaluate the extent to
which it?s possible to play Jyhad effectively on a limited budget. To be
truthful I have been trying to play on a budget of 0 GBP, building decks
exclusively from two boxes of Jyhad boosters that David tatu gave me when
he was here last. I?ve been building Happy families-type decks from these
cards alone and I?d rate this period of my Jyhad-gaming life as my most
successful [though perhaps not most creative] ever. In fact, I reckon I
am probably becoming TOO successful, since people in my gaming group are
beginning to see me as the Main Threat.

As examples of the kind of thing I?ve been able to build here are two
decks, constructed from a pool of cards that would cost you the same as
10 or so Pokemon boosters.
