A couple of my friends and I got together and decide to play a multiplayer sealed deck game yesterday. Knowing that bartering constantly occurs in multi-player I decided to keep in Auction House. What my friends didn't know is that I also had Forced Recruitment. I quickly began out resourcing my friends who both made fairly focused decks. The both stopped at 7 resources while I kept playing them. Then I put in my Auction House and got ready for the bidding war to begin. With my friends each at 7 resources, and me at 12, I was ready to take over. The first character on the auction block is a T Force 5 Megadudejig. The bidding stops at 7 with me in control of the character. The next character comes up and it's an Erotic Assassin. My friends go back an forth eventually stopping at 5........to which I respond with Forced Recruitment. Shortly after, my friends decided to team up and take me out. While they finished, I started writing down some thoughts for an Auction House Deck.


As before, I'll develop some ideas here and then post the progress of the deck.

So far, here's what I got:
Auction House
Forced Recruitment
Micromajig Factory
Top-Secret Subterranean Goofairum
Free Trade Agreement
Contriving Engineer
All-Nighter
Guardforce Alpha Prime H4x0r
Short Term Investment
Keen Stratagem
Rapine
Remember
Voidal Interference
Voidal Replication


Not sure what else I should branch into. I think I can branch out into all 5 factions if need be. I don't see much from Warlord. I am going to have a couple big characters to try and get something nasty from the Auction House. Something along the lines of Gore Engine or Gargantuan Garbler. The rest will have to be control and draw. The basic idea is to get the Auction House in play and make sure you outresource you opponent. When their characters come up you should be able to steal them with Forced Recruitment and then have all your available resources to get one of you big characters. I probably want to run as few characters as possible, so the H4x0r and Engineer might not fit, but, I like the resource gain they can get you.

The deck's name came as a result of my wearing a white baseball cap while I made the auction house caller noises every time a character went up on the auction block.

to which I respond with Forced Recruitment.


You respond to what? The character is coming into play as a result of their start of turn trigger, which you cannot respond to. Even more, the card is being put into play, and not being played, so you couldn't use Forced Recruitment anyhow, since it requires a card to be played.

Very creative try though :)

Doh! My friends will not be happy to hear this. :o

I guess it's back to the drawing board.

I highly encourage you to use the T Force 5 cycle of cards to gain further resource advantage. When you win the auction, the T Force 5 guy not only comes into play on your side, but they actually restore two resources as well. Those two resources can be critical in keeping your opponents characters on your side of the auction block.
