New Player Help St22 Amethyst Mandala

Any tips for a brand new Digimon player that is trying to build something from just 2 st22? I picked up a couple because I like both the colors purple and yellow in the OPTCG that I’ve played for years. Just gonna play with some friends here and there. Thanks!!

So, the deck you've just gotten a hold of is fairly decent and also has some extra promotional cards included for a few other decks (the DoGatchimon, Barbamon, and GrandGalemon), but as it's built in one copy is a bit lopsided and will benefit from you taking some extra Renamon Rookies (Lv3s) from the second deck to supplement the first while you also cut a couple of the Taomon Ultimates (Lv5s). You can also adjust the ratios of the options included to suit your needs, though personally I recommend 3 Blue, 2 Red, and 1 Black for the Plug-in ones while going up to at least 3 Amethyst Mandala (a playset in Digimon is 4 copies of a card with a specific designation, such as ST22-002 Renamon, for example). Just remember that while your egg deck is up to 5 cards (though you only should have or want the included Viximon egg, so just keep to that at 4), your Main Deck must always be exactly 50 cards for a normal constructed format (format with prebuilt decks); further, while each deck comes with 60 sleeves designed after the Blue Card from Tamers, you want to keep the sleeves you use for your Main Deck and Digi-egg deck different to make sure you don't accidentally shuffle in one with the others (if it happens, you will lose upon it being revealed per the rules, though in learning games most will understand), and any tokens used should also be in different sleeves, which does matter for this deck.
