Hi there again,

since I'm trying to assemble own decks I wonder what a good/recommended procedure might be to get deck ideas out of the cards I own?
Currently I own starters G - J, 6 (in my opinion not so helpful) boosters (3 Prophets, 3 UL) and one Disciples Expansion Pack.

So far I created one deck which concentrates on discarding, underdecking and removing opponent's cards (offense and defense is used for that).
For offense I used completely Gold, in defense its is Orange and Grey.

Now there are not so much options left for other deck ideas. In case of offense I could combine White and Silver but I fear that it might not be as strong as the above mentioned Gold version. Idea of White and Silver: Drawing and getting things back from discard Pile.
In terms of defense I did not yet think about it.

So general question is: What would be a reasonable approach to scan one's cards for good deck building ideas/concepts to make the best out of them in different constellations?

Thank you in advance!

Bye

@soul seeker:
Thank you. How do you handle the "color problem" within this approach (i.e. when lots of those cards you are looking for belong to completely different brigades?)?

The best thing you can do is be active on these forums, and read a lot. The same basic cards have been out since 2011, so there should be a solid three years of threads from which to draw from. Look at what other people built, look at discussions, and get a feel for how cards work, and why some combinations work. Netdecking (copying other people's decks that they've posted online and playing with them) will allow you to get a feel for the top decks and why they work so well. Once you get a feel for those decks, you'll be able to make adjustments and start building them on your own.
