site decks are cookie-cutter. most of the good site deck players use black or some hybrid...after all, they do have the absolute best site-lock card (*cough cough land dispute*). combo decks require much more thought and planning.

i have yet to see a single site deck in ROOT that breaks the mold thus far.

I was rather proud of my all-purple black/brown site deck, which I thought broke the mold rather nicely.

and if i recall correctly, you didnt win that game either.

As a serious sitelock player, I must say that sitelock can be both.

You CAN just throw in sites and a few anti-access cards and call it a day, but you can do so much more with them.

Desolate gateways, one of browns most underrated cards... combined with PwD and Sites can discard a LOT of heroes. Site placement cards are nice too, place an EC face down on a site and just when they think they've won, you spring another random EC out. TexP added even more strategy to sitelock with Kir and especially Herods Dungeon.

Sure, its not THE most strategic ever, but it has a decent amount of depth and choice to it.

Also, as a prolific combo deck player, I must agree that combos do require more strategy.  

Going back to the original topic...

I NEVER use the 2/3 liner. It's lost me more games than it's helped. Often times I draw it when my defense is being slow, and they get two easy points. I dislike NEEDING other cards for another one to work at all (except in combo offenses).

I also never use the hopper. Every time I use it, it gets pulled out with Harvest Time. Not worth it for me.

*/4 soul is pretty potent mixed with PwD, as it then becomes a */6 or */7 soul. That's held off some RA's for a few turns before.

To be honest, aside from NT, Womans, and exchanger, the rest of the souls depend completely on how your deck plays out. Never just throw the "best cards" in your deck without a reason for them being there, only put in what adds to the decks playstyle or theme.

Thanks Lambor, appreciate the advice.

Unless you're playing Speed. Then you should just get a list of every card people are complaining about for being OP and put them all in the same deck.

...and then win Nationals with it.

let this thead die in peace.So stop beating a dead horse guys!

Yeah I was kinda just wanting the list, didn't mean to start a riot here. 

Gosh Andy!  I made you a redemption monster, now you start threads that become monsters themselves! 

Hey you know me, always wanting to start an uproar.
