For NT Greek, use The Greek Memory System, the picture-based flashcards that accompany J. Lyle Story's GREEK TO ME textbook. About $21.00. It has every word that occurs 25x or more, nearly double the vocabulary that a 1st-year student will acquire with Mounce, and the funny pictures really help the words stick in your mind. If you know your paradigms, you should then be able to work through a decent amount of the NT without too much trouble (easier books like John, Mark, I & II John, and some others), and you'll be picking up new words as you go along. For convenience and size, you can then carry a copy of Metzger's lexical aids book with you to learn words 24x and less.
Alternatively, if you have the 50x words down pat, work through Zondervan's A SUMMER GREEK READER - it will increase your vocabulary in 12 weeks from words 50x or more to words 20x or more by doing daily translation exercises.
My 2 cents.
