40 good
   - 4 dominants (SoG, NJ, AotL, GoYS)
   - 2 copies of a fort (if needed, like Z's Temple or Garden Tomb)
   - 15-16 characters (no more than 3 copies of a unique character)
   - 16-20 enhancements (3-5 copies of each card recommended)
40 evil
   - 4 evil dominants (CM, Burial, DoN, FA)
   - 2 copies of each fort (I usually see protection fort + Kingdoms of the World - Priests, or Raider's Camp, etc.)
   - 15-16 characters (including 3+ stand alones, no more than 3 copies of a unique character excluding suicides)
   - 16-20 enhancements (3-5 copies of each card recommended)
25 neutral cards
   - 14 lost souls (2 of each, especially for the ones with great abilities)
   - 5 sites (whatever you like, make sure at least 2 are access sites)
   - 6 artifacts (2-3 of each art, as they show slow and leave fast)

That seems to be a pretty good starting point. Just remember to keep good and evil balanced.

Post by: NWJosh on May 30, 2009, 03:39:38 PM: I like to go 42 good and 42 evil because I am using more curses and covenants then I used to. With cards like Unknown nation and captured ark, they count as evil but I use them only as artifacts so that is my reasoning for 42 and 42. I also tend to play a 112 card deck because my main offense still allows me to go through my deck fast enough.
