If I was a new player I would focus on earning SPT for SPS airdrop via creating content on the frontend Splintertalk. I would purchase the $10 starter and earn my dailies. Hopefully hit something good in chest rewards, sell it to purchase needed cards to better my deck. Rinse and repeat until the new booster cards are released and then go from there. Currently the cost of building a deck is high. It will be much cheaper to do so when the new edition of boosters arrive. The airdropped SPS tokens take place everyday for 12 months straight so there's still lots of time to get in "early".
