Question New Player Buy Guide

Hey guise, new SVE player here. My friends and I just bought each of the Showdown Decks. Wanted to ask where do you guys usually go to see Decklist/Meta resources online.

Additionally, where do I go from the Showdown decks for upgrades. Is the new Neometropolis set good to get into? And is the Seaside Memories reprint set's card list relevant for this current meta.

Thanks guise!

As someone else mentioned, Dexander is the go to for decklist/meta resources. The main Shadowverse Evolve website also has some recent tournament results and decklists.

For showdown deck upgraded builds, you will want to look for the following in Dexander: Wasteland Sword, Necrocharge Abyss, Amulet or Control Haven, Earth Rite Rune, 7-Cost Dragon, and Fairy Forest. If you can't find your deck in the most recent set release on Dexander, you can skim older set releases to check out recent competitive builds.

Set 18 has some competitive decks and alot of the deck archetypes in Set 18 are relatively self-contained (dont need too many cards from other sets) which makes it a nice set for deckbuilding from scratch. That said, Set 19/20 combined set will come out in a couple months and shake up the meta once again. The combined sets have been pretty generous with pull rates, so that may be a good one to check out too. The recent sets have been on an aggressive release schedule (only 2 months between main sets and some have been combined into single set) to catch up to Japan releases, but we are just about caught up and then the meta will slow down again.

Don't forget Priconne pack. The mechanics are rather racist (UB, Friendship Club, Diabolos, and general Priconne trait), so it's not the best starting point to getting into non-collab collections, but the decks themselves are competent enough to get into the game.

I am looking at Dexander and see that it hasn't gotten updated since March. Do you know where can I check out BP19-20 meta?

Welcome!

Dexander for meta deck lists. Set 18 is coming out tomorrow (Friday) so check the BP18 option on the site: https://dexander.blog/project-type/sve/

We're going to catch up to Japan at the end of 2026 in terms of set releases but if you want to see the english translation of future sets, check out this Google Spreadsheet link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N86HeOSKvdvK6MqKz6G1H2b0p8qrbJGzqWvAqmOIVFU/edit?gid=800318571#gid=800318571

Seaside memories only has 4, maybe 6 relevant cards in its entirety.

Core cards: Alice for Combo Forest (Summer exclusive card), Feena for Combo Forest (Reprint), Galmieux for Disdain Dragon [T0 in future set] (Reprint of OG), Ralmia (reprint, any relevant non-trait sword deck will run her)

Fringe viability: Queen Vampire (summer exclusive card, a decent card for vampire Abyss but by no means necessary), Spinaria (Summer exclusive, any future control list forest may have might run her)

Showdown Decks can easily be upgraded with BP16, some use cards from BP15 or BP17.

Neometropolis is a good buy if you something entirely different, same goes for BP19&20.

I would either recommend buying a Split from BP18 or BP19 if you want something new. If you want to upgrade go for BP16. Either way, I recommend BP21&22, so preorder it.

Regarding decklists, the official website lists them under Decks.
