Eredan's World

It is a card to respect.

I would change:

- the [card]Desert scimitar[/card] ideia in favor of the third [card]overwhelming victory[/card] and a [card]It is time[/card]. [card]Manipulation[/card] does wonders defensively, but [card]overwhelming victory[/card] can be used as a multi-function card;

- Playing [card]Solar's Anger[/card] and [card]Divine Light[/card], betting on a chain seems a long shot to me. I bet most of the time they are played in different turns, so, as said, a second [card]Solar's Anger[/card] is too much either way. One card that I played so much is [card]Ascetic[/card], I think it would be a fine addition on the build, even considering it can get the [card]Mage's Grand Staff[/card]. Played on turn 4, can wreck up to 3 cards from your opponent;

- From your considerations, a pair of [card]It is time[/card] would be fine, to activate the orders of any of your characters in a time of need. Since I already suggested one up, droping the [card]Desert scimitar[/card], the second could replace the [card]A New Start[/card];

From my testing - and I tested both versions (i'll call them Kotoba-based (Galmara/Oogoe Kage/Hasna), and marauder-based traditional (Angelica/Hasna/Kimiko) ).

- A third [card]potion of seduction[/card] is a must.

- Agree with you. In the kotoba-based, [card]Assassination[/card] becomes a card that can be turned useless very easily. And, in this version, [card]Lapdance[/card] is a fine addition.

- [card]overwhelming victory[/card] does wonders in ANY version of courtesans deck. And is a card that can be purchased.

I would take the 3 x[card]Versatility[/card] for 3 x [card]Solaris[/card]

On the other hand:

- it can net a 2-life-bonus-recovery when [card]Overwhelming Victory[/card] is played;

- Gives an solid beatstick against Noz (the worst match for courtesans), when you use [card]Three Cheers to our Champ[/card], netting a possible +6 bonus;

- Allows the player to focus on marauder attack cards, which gives more options to the player, than swords and daggers, that can be "[card]Ascetic[/card]", ops, can be "[card]smash that wall[/card]", or can be "[card]Steal[/card]", among other options.

Thinking in a budget deck for this week...

For sure a Courtsans base:

[card]Angelica[/card] lv 1
[card]Oogoe Kage[/card] lv 1
[card]Hasna[/card] lv 1 or [card]Marlok the Repentant[/card] lv 1 or [card]Kimiko[/card] lv 1 (if you could get your hands in it...)

[card]Smart Ass[/card] x 1
[card]That's an Order[/card] x 2
[card]Potion of Seduction[/card] x 3
[card]Under the Sun [/card] x 2

If you choose Hasna/Kimiko, get another Under the sun, if you go Marlok, get a [card]Philosofical Debate[/card]

[card]Assassination[/card] x 1
[card]Scroll of Weakness[/card] x 2
[card]Ambush[/card] x 3
[card]Overwhelming Victory[/card] x 3

2 open slots - I would choose [card]Self Confidence[/card]

The whole deck is about 20000 crystals (considering that you get assassinaton from zil starter deck.), and 10000 are about the victories - replace them for something cheaper if you want, as [card]Versatility[/card]

Yes. When a card say it gives a +1 bonus, it means a +1/+1 bonus.

So, to compare, [card]Fight![/card] gives a +1/+0 bonus, and [card]Weapon Dance[/card] gives a +1/+1 bonus.

For me, would be better if I could choose the cards to be discarded. Otherwise, it would be just as if they didn't draw the card, just as [card]Theft[/card] would be played.

Card Game History: My first tcg was... MtG! (tadaa!) It had been a 14-year-long career, that take me to play into a one only Pro-Tour level tournament.

At the same time, I played Pokemon, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Warlords, Battletech, Vs. System...

Online, I played ***biiiiipppp*** Wars, and Warstorm

I just don't like [card]Firon[/card] in this deck. I prefer a 2nd [card]Art of the Iron Fist[/card] and a 2nd [card]It is time[/card]

Count me in - I'll be playing merc decks for the next 2 days, since I've already completed the Ambassador trophy

Aren't they the initial characters from Kotoba's deck?

Since I have a 60/40, 65/35 win percentage against then,  I don't have too many worries.
