Title: Advice on top 5-7 cards that should be in my deck type 1
Post by: jooeemoy on March 22, 2017, 09:53:16 PM: Hi All, I would like to know what would be the top 5-7 cards that should be pretty much always in my deck type 1 whatever the theme ?

Also, if I have the opportunity, what would be 2-3 promos cards I should buy (that can't be in boxes or packs) ?

Thanks

These 5 cards almost always make the cut for me.

Says the guy who won Nationals without the first two cards. Granted the second one didn't exist then but NJ did.

Is the Lost soul dull the Lost soul Hebrews 5:11 in COW ?

That's why I quantified with 'Almost Always'

Yes - Hebrews 5:11 is known as the Dull soul

Promos really depend on what type of deck you build...some themes/strategies don't really have any promo cards that are needed.

Second Coming and New Jerusalem can't be used in the same deck. Even though Second Coming is better in most situations, New Jerusalem is significantly cheaper.
