Our call

The only dual-color deck of the wave: red/black midrange under Sabo, built around deploying multiple characters at once, with one exclusive promotion card inside. Same honest math as its siblings — $11.99 minus the ~$4.50 OP-16 booster leaves about $7.50 for a full constructed deck plus the promo, which is fair value for anyone who wants the deck. The dual-color identity makes it the most distinctive pilot's pick of the six, but it's still a mass-print retail box: no scarcity, no sealed angle. Buy to play Sabo; don't pay above retail.

Is the ST-35 Sabo starter deck worth buying?

TCGIntel rates it a Hold: fair value at $11.99 for players — the OP-16 booster and promo roughly wash the box price, and it's the most distinctive deck of the wave to pilot — but it's a mass-print retail product with no investment angle. Editorial opinion, not financial advice.
