Next time I get any spare packs, I'll give out codes to people.
For now, here's some info:
You can get about 12 codes on ebay for about $2-$4. If you haven't got a credit card/pay pal account/ebay account, ask your parents to sign up (Don't forget to tell them that ebay is a great place to get bargain on other things)
The codes only work once- I tried it on my account, then my brother tried the code on his. Didn't work (Comes up with the message "Code has already been redeemed" or "Code invalid".
Don't forget it does cost to get codes- many people prefer trading codes for pokemon/cards on Online TCG. People get cross when they get hassled for codes.
There a 3 "free" decks given when you complete the Online TCG single AI player. You could mix these to crete your own decks.
If your new, or haven't got any codes for packs, keep to the novie room (when they put it back up). Yes, you'll meet people with amazing decks that clearly aren't novices, but many people will be in the same shoes as you.
If you need a friend, and me on there-my username is CandyCream
