Cactus Game Design Message Boards

Thanks everyone for the clarifications.  Disciple Drew often asks me for interviews on things like meta-game and deck types, but I usually decline because I don't know very much about them (Although he's tried and tried to explain it to me).  I just build decks, play them, and win or lose.  It's just more fun to me that way.

Rogue is standard almost-mono offense and almost-mono defense.

I would put Recursion between FbtNB and Abomb.

I thought "rogue" was an unexpected deck type, and that mono-offense/mono defenses were just that=mono colored. 

I think that's actually accurate to how those decks got that name in Redemption. Back in the day, nobody good played mono-colored anything because they were never as good as any other deck type, so someone using a mono-deck actually was the definition of rogue. Now, mono-decks are much more popular and better, but the name stuck.

I believe this may help break down the confusion and/or different ideas out there.
