A basic deck should contains a total of 50 cards, 49 cards in deck during game play and 1 selected grade 0 cards as a starting Vanguard. In the deck should have a number of grade 0,1,2,3 unit cards and the maximum amount of same cards you can have is 4. Here is the website that state how the clan and race should form a deck: http://cardfight.wikia.com/wiki/Clan. A tip for all players is try to form a deck with same clan.
Triggers(Grade 0)
the red mark indicate the icon for triggers
All the triggers cards is grade 0 and in a deck you must have 16 triggers cards. The card effect can be active during drive check or damage check. You can have any amount of triggers but the maximum of heal triggers(above green image) is 4. Grade 0 card is able to use it's own attack point to boost the attacking card attack point and also use it as a shield to block your opponent attack. Try not to put too many grade 0 cards because they are only useful in defence.
Grade 1
Grade 1

In the card game to be able to summon the top grade(grade 3) card, you had summon from a grade 0 to grade 1 follow by grade 2 and finally you can summon your top grade card. Grade 1 cards mainly act as a stepping stone to higher grade card. Grade 1 card is able to use it's own attack point to boost the attacking card attack point and also use it as a shield to block your opponent attack.
Grade 2
Grade 2
the red mark indicate the it's grade
As mention early, grade 2 is a stepping stone for grade 3 cards. Grade 2 cards mainly relie on it's card effect, which is active during the start of main phase. It cannot boost a card but it have the ability to intercept which is act as shield to block your opponent attack.
Grade 3
the red mark indicate the it's grade
Grade 3 cards is all about attacking and during it attacking time you can drive check two timing this is a skill call twin drive which all grade 3 cards had this effect. The attack power is also higher then other cards. But in a deck it's it is not wise to put more then 8 grade 3 cards, because this card is hard to summon and lacking in defence.
