A few people have mentioned the idea of buying card packs to get new cards, but how would that work in an RP exactly; what I mean is, how do we determine what cards are in a pack?

Battle City definitely lends itself to more of a one-off in my head, if not just a single arc. The stakes are definitely lower compared to... Well, pretty much every season thereafter, but going down this route also brings in to question how slow the opener is going to be + how fast the players want to scale into the bigger stuff. A smaller-scale opener to establish a baseline could help.

I definitely support having a short, small-scale opener to establish things. Slow opening segments are the killer of far too many RPs.
