Start with the optimized lineup above as your target roster. Then: (1) Use the players table below to see which cards you already own and which you still need. (2) Drag-and-drop your picks into the [Team Builder](/players/team-builder) to test the lineup in a build environment. (3) Hunt missing cards on the [Market Flipping tool](/market/flipping) for the best Stubs price.
