Title: The Gateway Deck
Post by: Mr.Hiatus on December 27, 2021, 05:26:09 PM
This deck (should be) tournament legal for both T1 and T2. I haven't tested this, I have been playing with Persians in T2 and I love them, and I already had a Ruth/Postexilic offense and white/brown meshed well. I haven't tested this, in theory it would work fine in both formats, it has some speed and can block, but can also rescue.

Why not double up on the better single-brigade stuff like Reap the Whirlwind instead of Casting Stones, Achan's Sin instead of Treachery of Jezebel, and Persian Horsemen instead of pretty much anything else? With both Slave and Deceiver, I could see doubling up on Haman and his Boasting too.

Unless there's some Judges stuff I'm missing, you could run 2x Ruth Meets Boaz instead of a Gleaning.

Because I read the rules super quick and read 1 per 50 thinking 1 per deck. I will go edit and double up now, whoops.

Ha, fair enough. It's also kinda strange that while it's technically legal in both formats, you miss out on 5 cards in Reserve when you play T2. I think the last time I built a deck like this was before the Reserve even existed. If everyone in a tournament had a deck like this and you played Round Robin, you could technically do T1 and T2 at the same time by saying whoever gets to 5 first wins the Type 1 game and whoever gets to 7 first (in the same game) wins the Type 2 game. :P
