What would you play?

[davyinatoga]

Here's a list of cards I got yesterday for sealed. I know I did horribly. I'm curious to know how other players would play this set to see what I did wrong. Then after a bit I'll tell what I took and why I think it was bad.

Definitely. I'd also run Deception for the Strangulate and 2xWheel of Doom, along with some decent cheaper dudes. Can't decide offhand which resources to start.

I don't understand why everyone plays rage in seed sealed even when it isn't the best choice(Not in this pool in general). You can't play rage because it's rage.

I know that this build takes away the option of turn 0 Karmic Cake, but I believe it smooths out the lower curve of the deck much better. The more solid characters you have in the deck the better, and this pool is lacking in solid characters.

Well, seeing that the general consensus is banker with 2 other trades that aren't arcanist puts me at ease.

Start Tourney Faction, 1 Greed, 1 Rage.

10 Deception
6 Greed

So how this deck came about:
First off, I pulled the foils. They're not always worth it to me to play them, and I wasn't happy with the two that I got. After looking at my pool, I knew I definitely wanted greed. 3x Contusions plus tons of 2-thresh? Duh! So I pulled those out, expecting to start 2 greed. Looking at the others, I took Rogues for the few 4-speeds (Casino Kingpin wasn't worth the 7 cost imho) plus removal, and couldn't decide Gearsmith or Warlords. The Violence was the breaker for that decision (mistake #1 - later I figured that Gearsmith would've been better, since it wouldn't have left me with so many more options (meaning less opportunities for bad choices)). I went sorting, and noticed that there were only 2 Warlord cards that utilized 3+ thresh: the Badass and Godwing. Badass was optional, so I tossed the Godwing (mistake #2 - might as well have gone all-out rage with him) and all 2 thresh Warlords(mistake #3 - Confusion and Raider I could do without, but 2 Nimble conscripts... dipstick). I decided that splashing a Rage and using the violence only for the Badass's icons matter effect (which was worth it at the time) would work (mistake #4 - weakened my Bankers too much). I only saw the Violence once, and I mulliganned it. Anyway, from there I just thinned out the weaklings. And the deck went 0-3-0. Good job, me. The failure was maybe ~35% bad luck (since there was plenty of it), ~25% poor playing (damn Chamber Pot keeps screwing my head around), ~40% bad deckbuilding. Hey, at least I didn't use Arcanist.
