As you can see it is a very basic ANB reset deck. It won 2 games at state, 3 at regionals and 2 at nationals, winning all three tournaments.
-
Its a pretty good deck... I didnt need you to post it though. I think seeing it three times in multi was enough :)
-
I could have beat that deck at regionals if I hadn't been stupid and played my Mayhem at a dumb time. That is, not to say it isn't a good deck or anything. Probably fun to play with.
-
And just think! You could have actually had FUN if you played COMBO COMBO COMBO COMBO AFRICA.
-
Awesome deck!
Congrats! :)
-
Where are the other winning decks? BTW congrats on the win.
-
Congrats John, but seeing the defense now...It doesnt look as intimidating...Probably shoulda had more Fbtn in my deck....*grumble grumble*
-
Congrats John on winning, but I was offend when you said you don't want me to play CA way. That upset me for the entire game and the following game. LOL. Thanks.

in John's defense, I must say when I played you I did get confused at times what is what. I'm not used to the style you play, and neither is John.
it'd be nice if the PTB would set up a mandatory placement of cards.
-
Actually california style makes a whole lot of sense with Evil on one side and good on the other. so if the PTB Do mandate a style, I think it should be California style...
But I woldnt hold my breath about mandating a specific style because all you have to do is ask your opponent what they have showing and they have to tell you.
-
Actually, the main offensive part wasn't the part he wanted me to play the traditional way, however, I have already told him that I don't know how to, and he is still wanting me to play. But it is all over, we are all cool now. Thanks.

why not just the style as shown in the rule book?

why not just the style as shown in the rule book?
1. it an get confusing when EC's are converted and then sometimes "slip" back down to the EC level,
2. having to move your heros out of the way every time you block.
3. Artifacts getting lost in all the Fortress/art/discard clutter that happens around the draw pile.
4. Bigger decks need more room to spread out.
5. ...should I keep going?
-
Why not just have a unified standard?
i.e. the rulebook

With all due respect Mike, I dont feel like I was out of line in asking you to play as listed in the rulebook at all. If you're going to take offence to that then frankly you need to re-examine your priorities in life. Additionally, this is the type of thing that frankly doesn't need to come out on the boards, especially considering that we played in T22P and this is a thread about my T2MP deck - If you were truly that offended, you could have aproached me personally at the tournament, or through PM's. That being said, After I asked Kevin if you were required to switch if asked and he said no I relented, and let you play "California Style" - However if you will remeber there were at least 3 moments in the game where I was temporarily confused, the first that comes to mind if you moving Emp Nero over to what 87% of players think of as the discard pile, when I had converted him to blue. I even went to move him back into battle saying I wasn't discarding him, until you reminded me of your unorthodox set up.

new thread.

I'll just repeat myself to make the point abundantly clear to future readers of this thread:
Why not just have a unified standard? i.e. the rulebook
P.S. Was 87% an arbitrary picked number or scientific poll?
-
I'm going to draw a lion to calm everyone's nerves, and hopefully get back on topic.

With all of my respect, John, I apologize for commenting in the wrong topic, I am so sorry for commenting your Type II multiplayer deck, I got confused with the abbreviation. Lastly, congrats on your win again, I wish to make a treaty with you to make everything peacefully, and no more fighting or arguing. Thank you.

I got confused with the abbreviation
lulz @ the irony. This is truly an epic topic for an epic deck.
-
Wow!!! Awesome deck! ~ Sorry for bringing this thread up again, but does anyone have any ideas of a ANB/TGT Deck ? Same concept... But with TGT. Any thoughts?
-
There is a thread in type 2 deck advice about that concept.

Ok, thanks Mr. Hiatus!
-
No need to apologize about bringing up a type 2 ANB reset deck. In fact, it should probably be talked about at least once a week. ANB Reset Decks are awesome...since not only did this deck take 1st....a very similar version of this deck took 5th...
except mine actually had a defense that could stop someone and not just play false peaces ;)
-
I got confused with the abbreviation
lulz @ the irony.
Why?
-
So the defense is the difference between this deck and Tyler's 2P deck last year? Any other MAIN differences?
-
Tyler was playing with multicolor enhancements for his FBTN heroes, he also actually had an alternative win strat (Prophets + Two Bears) - This deck was dependent on the FBTN, and had very few options besides them.
-
I hap 2 Bears in my deck? ???
-
The Bear is multi color (at least the version the cool people use)! Illegal deck! N00b!
-
I thought you did Tyler, I could have sworn that you played one against me in Cali.
-
The Bear is multi color (at least the version the cool people use)! Illegal deck! N00b!
which is illegal?
-
Negative. It was just 6 multis and 5 ANB.
-
Why 2 Moses? I would think some extra enhancements or more TSAs would be better.
Eric "just sayin" Largent
-
I wanted 10 FBTN dudes, I figured that was enough to draw one on every restart. I didn't want more than 3 of any, to lower the hand-clog factor.
-
With the new set out, how effective do you think this type of deck will be in the coming season given all the counters to searching and protection for NT evil characters?

Not to mention all the CBP.

nazareth is pretty much nigh-staple now, goodbye anb.
-
nazareth shuts down so much. it always messes me up.
-
Nazareth messes me up too. GF Phillies. GF Answer to Prayer.
Benedictus + Land Dispute (on the red site) works okay though. Not sure what is more effective.
-
yea thats my usual answer
-

Ironically, Nazareth IS a staple for one of my T2 ANB decks. ;)

from the current ruling on that play - i thought it didnt work? as you are still controlling the placed enhancment so u have to carry out the ability.
