I know most people start sentence mining after finishing the N4 or Core 2k/6k deck.
The thing is that I’m almost at the end of the N4 deck, I don’t have time to spend building my own, I work all day and the time I have left to study is when I’m commuting by bus on the way to my job (Sorry for bad english, hope no one had a stroke reading this)
Does anyone know if there’s a N3 to N1 deck available somewhere, or have any other deck / recommendation to keep my study going.

If you own a (somewhat) recent Android phone, you can still very much mine while mobile, and do so comfortably.
For LNs, the setup is pretty nice and simple.
First, [setup Yomichan in a mobile browser](https://learnjapanese.moe/yomichan/#bonus-android-use-with-kiwi-browser) that allows plugins, like Kiwi.
The remaining setup is [described here](https://rentry.co/lazyXel#read-light-novel-anywhere-with-yomichan-and-mining) – basically, setup the (unofficial) [AnkiConnect Android](https://github.com/KamWithK/AnkiconnectAndroid) plugin, then use [ttsu reader](https://ttu-ebook.web.app/manage) with whichever LNs or books you want to read, imported in .epub format, and there you go – mining from probably the best vocabulary source on the go.
You can also mine from Manga, if you so desire, but the setup is a little more involved ([as described here](https://rentry.co/lazyXel#manga-with-yomichan)). You’ll have to preprocess Manga using the tool [Mokuro](https://github.com/kha-white/mokuro), which you’ll want to do using either a home computer (or laptop), or if your machine is weak, using Google Colab. Mokuro allows you to turn Manga text into text that can be scanned with Yomichan, and then the actual Mining workflow is just like in the LN reading seyup.
My PC uses an older processor (~8 years old) and has an AMD graphics card (cannot use GPU speedup, which is NVidia cards only) – and it takes me around 20 minutes per Manga volume to convert it to scannable format. So if you have a few volumes you want to read, just leave the preprocessing on them running overnight, and you can then pull the files to your phone next morning quickly.

What about this ^
If you want the N1-N3 tango decks, you’ll need to buy the books first (and it’s quite expensive imo)
I think your best bet is just core 10k on anki. You can also try the one on kitsun if you don’t mind paying 60$/year
