Eredan's World

Running one or two [card]Double Clay[/card] is important for the turn one aggro decks, [card]Ventriloquism[/card] or [card]A New Start[/card] for large decks or ones with recurrence, [card]Festivities[/card] is a nice toolbox when you are using Psych and Alyce, [card]Dragon Sacrifice[/card] is decent for mage decks (generally it's best to pitch your first panic with it), [card]Prestige[/card] or [card]Contortion[/card] for dealing with key threats in the opposing deck, and [card]Suspicion of Treason[/card] is an excellent counter card...

Besides these, your core deck is going to be [card]Indigestion[/card], [card]Panic[/card], and [card]Treacherous[/card] with a side order of [card]Zwindle[/card], [card]Mental Siphon[/card], and [card]Blackmail[/card].

Some people would argue Zwindle is better than Treacherous, but I prefer Treacherous because there is no choice, you must discard. Keep Blackmail to less than 3. Any more than that, you clog the deck/lower spirit making Treach useless...

Besides Thunder King, who else can use attracts lightning that aren't pirates? Do you mean multi-guilded characters that are also pirates?

First off, I'm pretty sure I played you in the level room with my Terror Clowns, and it was a close match. Anyway, I personally would go with Asajiro to make some of the Kotoba cards more worth putting in your deck like Masamune's Armor and also making Tantadian Spear a little more desirable. Also Asajiro makes your deck run a little faster giving all of your other characters +1 attack and getting +2 attack himself on his order bonus (Making beyond fear and reproach a better combo for him). I wouldn't level Living dagger up though. +2 health at the end of turn could be what saves you when a Feminist tosses a stink bomb your way turn 1.

The best decks are ones you come up with yourself. They generally use event specific cards from different events, and unique cards most inexperienced players wouldn't have. They involve strategy that is unique to that deck so the opponent either doesn't know how to counter it, or doesn't run the specific counter needed. You want the deck to be very efficient at what it does, so generally keeping the card volume to 20-25 is a good idea depending on what your deck does. Depending on how fast your deck runs (via play testing) you may or may not want to run toolbox counters like [card]Dissidenz[/card] or [card]The Secret of the Crow[/card].

Legendaries usually help making a "Best" deck due to their pure awesome power, but you may run into people expecting them and preparing counters (ie [card]Anathematize[/card] to counter [card]A New Start[/card]). Think outside the box like the first person to figure out that Lightning Mages should only run 2 different spells (or 4 if running [card]Mastery[/card] and [card]Break the Second Chain[/card]), or like the first person to build Noz discard with [card]Beyond Vision[/card] and [card]Mental Siphon[/card].

Remember there are essentially 4 ways to win: Outlasting your opponent, out killing your opponent, discarding your opponent, and getting more points. Outlasting is kind of like putting discarding and out killing into one category, but the method is completely different than either (see: Temple Guardians). Focus on one main win condition, and add a secondary condition for flexibility.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following these guidelines and making a deck that is fun for you to play will always produce a "best" deck. Maybe not a 100% win ratio deck, but that ruins the fun of actually playing. In my personal opinion, net decking is terrible unless you either put your own flavor in it by adding/removing cards that suit your own play style or using that particular deck against AI. It's hard to come up with a deck not posted here because there are very obvious themed decks in this game, but there are a wide enough variety of cards now to make your own version of these decks too.

A. Your pirate deck only has 18 cards.

B. Pocket Shooters and burning fires are a must x3 (only reduce CoP and Nw by 1 each)

C. Remove:
1x analyze         
1x fortune and glory       
1x the plank             
1x outlaw

--------------------------------------------

This deck is all about shooting and killing. The best defense is a good offense, as they say. Distracted is nice if you plan on having a turn 5 for a combo Stink Bomb + (Insert gun here).

[card][/card] <===Type the card name in between the two

Are you planning on staying a free to play or are you looking into buying packs and or trophies?

... The possibility of 3 dreads being played in the same turn by Ceaches on his turn order seems a bit scary to me.

+14 Att
-6 def
-3 spt

That OHKO's anything that doesn't play vanish or counters on that turn.

Just saying... Nadarya spelled backwards looks an awful lot like Eredan, and sounds like it too (at least how I pronounce it).

Maybe something like
Marzhan + Marquis + Thunder King?

IDEA!!!!!!!

<NAME><CLASS><GUILD><STATS> <=== All negotiable
Whenever a card you play is ignored, a copy of that card is created and played.

---------
That way, the card is still cancelled, it still messes up the order of the cards played (which can still cancel the effects of the card pending on its effects), but the cards still get to be played. Maybe a legendary character effect? And this is a global effect, not just applied to the character, but to the player.

Another idea would be:
Whenever a card that is played becomes ignored, it gets placed in your deck at the end of the fight.

Less legendary version that has an up side and a down side. You get your countered cards back AND your opponents. It could flood your deck with useless cards or fill it with game winners of your opponents while you cancel their cards.

Then I would take wrong note out altogether. That way old score always gets a Sitar Hero.

Mages are being kicked to the curb by courtesans. They play AoE direct damage, which is much harder to defend against, but they could also play a chain card with it (which mages cannot chain if they play an AoE). If I were you, I'd just find a card you fall in love with and build a deck around it. You never know, you could make a new build no one ever thought of and change a lot of deck strategies.
