Cactus Game Design Message Boards

I played this deck at the MN district tournament last weekend. It took third, but had it not been for two misplays on my part it probably would have taken first. If I play with this in the future, I would like to work in Foreign Wives, but still keep it at 50 cards. Other suggestions are welcome. It's the first tournament I have placed in since taking second place once in the pre-Priest days, so I would like to thank Mr. Voigt for his generosity in helping me get back into the game this last year or so.

Thanks for the suggestions, I had not thought of using Forest Fire. I will keep them in mind if/when I use this deck again.

You have a lot of Evil Characters, and few enhancements.  I would try and balance them a little more.

I found the balance worked well. I have 8 ECs, and 6 EE, counting the recurable Razor and Siegeworks. I might add one more crimson battle winner though for Neb. I don't need many blocks because the offense is fast.

I find the lack of battle winners disturbing. You have 3 on offense and 3 on defense, 2 of which are both good and evil.

First off, Congrats on 3rd. Second, I like this deck. Third, I would consider the changes jbeers suggested. It would make the deck even more powerful. Nicely done!

Congrats on third!
How did your deck do against Nazareth?

It was a few months ago, so I don't remember exactly. I think I had a big problem with Darius' Decree one game. Most of the searching is done in the first turn or two. I also had ASA to take out Naz if it was a problem. I think I did that once.

Iron Pan lets u search with naz  out still as well and if u put forest fire in then it also allows you to blow up naz
