Vincent: They call it a Royale with cheese.
Jules: A Royale with cheese. What do they call a Big Mac?
Vincent: Well, a Big Mac's a Big Mac, but they call it le Big-Mac.
Jules: Le Big-Mac. Ha ha ha ha. What do they call a Whopper?
Vincent: I dunno, I didn't go into Burger King. "

If you're not using 4-ofs/3 ofs, then the deck isn't a serious one. Also, you'll have difficulty in practice acchieving threshold consistently with a 3C-manabase. Also, I would recommend cutting some of the truly terrible cards from your deck, like Beggar and Swarm.

After initial efforts are made to make this deck a serious one, the question should be raised of what the deck is attemping to do. If it's a Ferret deck, what happens if you don't draw Ferret? If its simple aggro, where are the good creatures that you need to push through damage? Tenacious Games really should split up this forum into Serious and Casual forms.

[Anshega]

ok. Im serious. The begger is there for the pick a character ability with the ferrit. swarm is there for the card discarding that is supported with the warehouse raid and others. If it was broken up by Tenacious (into serious and Casual) where would you suggest I post being that I am serious? What is 4 ofs/3ofs ? What is a 3c mana? base. I was thinking about dropping artcanist for gear so I would have cards to bring the ferrit in directly. It would break my heart to take out the pervasive body gaurd. Anyone else have any comments?

Red dwarf quote "Rimmer: What's this? Learning drugs? They're illegal, matey. Where did you get them? I'm afraid you're in very serious, grave, deep trouble, Lister. Where did you get them? I want names, I want places, I want dates."

the quick answer is remove greed

that will streamline the deck

playtest and then report back

[Bodlar]

Pick a point for your deck and go for it. You have tons of token manipulation without anything to put them on. Work on trading or buy more cards so you can have 4 of the important cards in your deck. There is no reason to have greed in your deck just for those cards. In order to have a competative deck you really need a specific idea in mind and a way to execute it every game. If not you will have no way of consistently winning.

If you're not using 4-ofs/3 ofs, then the deck isn't a serious one.

I think this is a bad way to think. Yes, you should have alot of 4 copies and 3 copies, but some things, anything specific support that would typically get sideboarded/decked in other games should see play main deck in 2s.


Also, you'll have difficulty in practice acchieving threshold consistently with a 3C-manabase.

With a three resource, base, possibly, but if planned right, then no. Dropping some of the high threshhold Rogue will help even the curve a bit. Unfortunately with this deck, dropping the third is the better idea.


Also, I would recommend cutting some of the truly terrible cards from your deck, like Beggar and Swarm.

Why is swarm terrible? 2 discards and a body. A bigger one than Warlords equivalent force Flaming Barduse.

I don't think splitting between serious and casual is a good idea, myself. But a discussion for another forum.

[LucienofShadow]

If I had to choose between serious and casual, right now I'd choose casual. You're using three trades and you need more resources to meet threshold in all of them. That's the problem. I've only ever built/seen one three trade deck that I think could work, and it had the threshold for two of its trades set up with the first two resources (one Obsession and one Elitism). Then all it needed was more of the third trade's resource.

Socrates was arrested and accused of corrupting the youth, inventing new deities (heresy), and disbelieving in the divine (atheism). According to traditional accounts, he was sentenced to die by drinking poison. Presented with an opportunity to leave Athens, he believed it would be more honorable to stay in his home country. Therefore, at the age of 70, he drank the hemlock and died.:(
