About MetaMaster
Welcome to MetaMaster! We're a platform for TCG enthusiasts to create, share, and manage custom card sets and decks. We believe in collaboration and making the TCG community better for everyone.
Platform Concepts
Understanding the core concepts of MetaMaster will help you get the most out of the platform.
Core Concepts
Meta
A Meta is a top-level collection that defines a format, rules, and deck size limits. It contains multiple Sets and serves as the organizational structure for your TCG content.
Set
A Set is a collection of Cards within a Meta. Sets can be themed around specific Pokemon types, eras, or custom concepts. Each Set belongs to one Meta.
Card
Individual Pokemon, Trainer, or Energy cards that belong to a Set. Cards can be submitted by users and require approval from Set owners.
Deck
A Deck is a collection of Cards (typically 40 or 60 cards) built for gameplay. Decks can be standalone or connected to a Meta/Set. Energy cards have no quantity limit.
Format vs Archetype
Format
A Format defines the rules and card pool for a Meta. Formats determine which cards are legal, rotation rules, and competitive structure.
Archetype
An Archetype describes a deck's playstyle and strategy. It's how the deck is played, not which format it belongs to.

Deck Limits
Deck limits are set per meta by the meta owner:
- Standard Deck Size: 40 or 60 cards (set by meta owner)
- Card Quantity: Maximum 4 copies of the same card (except Energy cards, which have no limit)
- Unbound Decks: Some metas allow unlimited deck sizes
Requesting Limit Increases
Need higher limits for your content? We understand that active creators may need more flexibility. You can request limit increases by reaching out to our team.

What to include in your request:
- Your MetaMaster username

How Limits Work
The limit system uses a priority hierarchy:

- Meta Override: Custom limits set for a specific meta
- Set Card Limit: Individual set card limits (if set by the set owner)
- Default Limits: Standard platform limits (lowest priority)
