Title: Question: DECK
Post by: Good Samaritan on April 30, 2010, 01:37:15 PM
   


 In a type one deck,in your opinion of how you make your decks,should your offence be bigger than your defence or d-fence bigger than the offence.

                                             ;D :o ::) :laugh: :rollin:

Depends on your style. I run a very HEAVY defense yet others run very heavy offense.

 Nice,I like to mix it up. I like Egyptians,Angels and Red brigade heros, with angels can be powerful or a whole offence of angels can be powerful as well. but I try something new every week.

Wait so you have 35 Non Character/Enhancement cards? (well 26 with LS but still). Even for an artifact/fort lover like me that seems like WAY too much.

Actually, to re-assess my typical deck:

8 heroes
7 GE
9 EC
8 EE
4 arts
3 forts/sites
9 doms
8 Lost Souls

Although lately it's been more like 1 less art, 1 less fort/site, and 2 more doms, after realizing that doms are actually necessary for a competitive deck. :P

It's a really good deck, I think Underwood and I are the only people who've beaten it.
Title: Re: Question: DECK
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on April 30, 2010, 09:10:41 PM
Yes, but what is the sample size for games, and who has he beaten with it?
Title: Re: Question: DECK
Post by: xCaLeBx on April 30, 2010, 09:20:11 PM
I have beaten lots of people I beat prof alstad/prof underwood/pol/RR etc....


it is still a "odd" deck

I can guess alot of what's in that deck.

Post by: Rawrlolsauce! on April 30, 2010, 09:46:27 PM
I can't think of any large enhancementless offenses that would be effective except a Captain Band.... and that shouldn't be too hard to counter.

I'm probably missing an obvious offense, though....

It's a TGT  or COTH deck cuz zeb is bad now.
Title: Re: Question: DECK
Post by: xCaLeBx on April 30, 2010, 10:19:49 PM
I will say this....mine is the only I've seen of its kind and it is by no means easy to counter Pol can attest to that even though eventually he did get the best of me
Title: Re: Question: DECK
Post by: Red on April 30, 2010, 10:52:25 PM
Dude the counter is probly HHI. i'll see at GA state. wait my tourny deck hates HHI.

Post by: Professoralstad on April 30, 2010, 11:01:34 PM
I can attest that Caleb did in fact beat me. There was one play that I didn't account for, had I not allowed him to do that, he would not have won, but win he did in the end. Overall, it was a very well played game.

cuz zeb is bad now.

Ummmmmm...this is simply false. I have laid waste to many a deck with naught but Zebulun and a few closely associated other heroes.

one grapes is one of zeb biggest fears and 30peices does a number on him i could name a thousand(not true just sounded cool)
Title: Re: Question: DECK
Post by: Red Dragon Thorn on April 30, 2010, 11:04:46 PM
Yeah, Zeb is still a beastly beast :) Not enough people are playing with the newest counters, and Locking out an opponent is easier than ever since (IMO) defence got a bigger boost then offence in TeP.


Instaposted, thus edit:

Erm, ok, play with 30 peices... I'll just flip a chariots and ahimazz him back to health. Grapes doesn't affect Zeb at all, because you'll never get an evil card into battle to play it on. Clearly you've never played a well built zeb deck before.
