CONTEST: Design Winning Limited/Budget Decks ... Win PRIZES!
« on: August 17, 2008, 12:29:16 AM »

I'm temporarily making this thread 'sticky' to help share the opportunity.

You know my deck pouches: http://cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=302.msg2609#msg2609

You can also substitute the prize for deck sleeves, stones, dice, and maybe cards (depending on how great your deck will be).  After all winning/approved decks will have been chosen, and prizes given, board members will judge the best of the best single entry.  After I approve that entry, he/she will win my little grand prize of $50 ReyZen cash towards any item that I am selling.

I will need at least 5 successful unique deck designs.  There are no limits to approved deck deigns!  Sky is the limit!

The rules are simple:

a.  Do not ask me for the reason I have for wanting this project.  No questions of that sort.

b.  The deck must have no more than 63 cards, with all good staples in it.

Cards that MUST NOT BE INCLUDED in deck building are (see the website redemptioreg.com for references):
- cards with 'angel' in the title, nor referring to an angel (thus, not even AoTL) ... http://www.redemptionreg.com/REG/gloss_angel.htm.
- cards with 'prophet/s' in the title, nor referring to prophets ... http://www.redemptionreg.com/REG/gloss_prophet.htm.
- cards referring to patriarchs... http://www.redemptionreg.com/REG/gloss_patriarch.htm.
- evil cards that, when converted, become prophets, patriarchs, or angels (to my knowledge, there is none)
- except for NJ promo, cards more than $5 in trade or sale value using Three Lions' pricelist (http://www.threelionsgaming.com/downloads/pricelist_checklist_08_08.pdf)

b.  The design must have good popular approval from other board members.  Thus, the offense must pass board members' scrutiny.  No hurt feelings if you receive constructive criticism that might seemingly offend you.

d.  Absolutely NO flaming, spamming, nor childish comments on this thread,  PLEASE.


******************
I will not set an immediate deadline yet but will announce a date as soon as I think that time is right to do it.

All my prayers to all you deck builders out there!

Good luck to ALL!  Let the fun begin!

GODBLESS!!!

are cards such as  Samuel alright, since they make no reference to prophecy/prohets on the card, even though the REG lists them as prophets?

Also, is Deborah ok, since she only mentions prophecy in the scripture refference?

What reason do you have for wanting this project?

a.  Do not ask me for the reason I have for wanting this project.  No questions of that sort.

Uh, nevermind...      :)

Now for a serious question

Quote
b.  The deck must have no more than 63 cards, with all good staples in it.

What are the "good staples?"  I ask because in general I would never build a deck without New Jerusalem in it (making it a staple), but

Quote
- cards more than $5 in trade or sale value using Three Lions' pricelist (http://www.threelionsgaming.com/downloads/pricelist_checklist_08_08.pdf)

New Jerusalem is $7.50 by Three Lions pricing.

SeaN, as usual, you're a master of basic winners!  Let's await a couple of strong approvals before I let you pick your prize if not my deck pouch.  I welcome more designs from you, sir!  Thanks and Godbless!

Brandan, is it still standard trade value, though?  I'd prefer let's stick to Three Lions' list for this contest only.  Thanks.  godbless and good luck!

Alex, yes, you are allowed to build as many successful decks that would be approved by board members themselves who'd see your lists.  Good luck!!!  Thanks and Godbless.

TO ALL:
I need you start critiques/approvals for current deck submissions.  Post comments, please.  Thanks and Godbless.

I believe this too meets the requirements.  This one is 63 cards. 

The offense is lacking in the Hero department but I think it'll be ok.  The defense wants to use Just a Hireling as much as possible.  You can use it three times with Twice Afflicted and Pride of Simon.

Lost Souls
Women Only
NT Only
Shame
Cannot be prevented
Same Testament
Same Reference
Punisher
Wanderer

Dominants
Son of God
New Jerusalem
Christian Martyr
Burial

Artifacts
Holy Grail
Holy of Holies
Urim and Thummim
Priestly Crown
Wool Fleece

Fortresses
Rome

Covenants
I Am Healing

Good Enhancements
Furnace of God’s Wrath
Plague of Flies
Freedom!
Baggage
Jael’s Nail
Holy Ground
Bow and Arrow
Built on the Rock

Evil Characters
Naaman
Emperor Nero
Emperor Otho
Emperor Galba
Emperor Augustus
Emperor Vitellius
Lying Spirit
Panic Demon Gray
Obsidian Minion Gray
Antiochus IV Epiphanes
Alexander
Greek Philosophers
Greek Scholars
High Priest Caiphus
High Priest Annas
Obsidian Minion Black
Panic Demon Black
Sadducee
Sadducee

Evil Enhancements
Romans Destroy Jerusalem
Just a Hireling
Doctrine like Leaven
Healing of Naaman
Abomination of Desolation
Twice Afflicted
False Peace
Naaman’s Chariot and Horses
Deluge of Rain
Heavy Taxes
Strange Fire
Gold Shield
False Witnesses
Foolish Advice
Pride of Simon
Net
Pushed Back

Sean

It's a great defense, but it won't win a game. There isn't a single way to deal with an evil character-no souls is not good. At All. You may not give any (depends on the draw, and how much hireling abuse can delay the game in a tournament), but you won't get any either, so what is the point?

Confusion splashing makes no sense- Egyptian don't discard enough for you? Offense looks pretty good, though Parmenas is a bad attempt at making this a speedier deck IMO. I would say that's most an attrition defense, but it definately looks ok to me. Should last long enough if you can pull of some free RAs (AoC, Moses, etc). Offense shuold be able to win.

Messanger of Satan helped me out so much you wouldn't even know.  Parmenas is for The Word Spreads, plus he's NT.

Not in my experience.  I have countless games under my belt with this deck[Or a modified version] and Messanger of Satan has won me an incredible amount of blocks, and Confusion has won me alot of games, and helped me out in every game.

Silver and gold has nothing on gold and gold ;)


Idea behind this. Offense: Spreading mildew thier protection fort. put a judge in the judges seat. Flip up crown of thorns to kill all /3 or lower. Turn it off next turn. Let judges seat kill all ecs on thier side above /4 defense (since you put in deborah/Eli) in judges seat. You face any ecs with 4 def or less. If they deck before you do. use gen widow to reduce thier hand so itll be the /4 vs ehud's 7 first strikey goodness. If something goes terribly wrong any judge can use SS to blow up thier territory as well with D harp to put um back on top.

Defense: If they have a deck. Make it disappear.

I believe this too meets the requirements.  This one is 63 cards. 

The offense is lacking in the Hero department but I think it'll be ok.  The defense wants to use Just a Hireling as much as possible.  You can use it three times with Twice Afflicted and Pride of Simon.

Plan on using the 10/1 guys for init?  The defense looks solid. Idk about the offense though. You could use Gold shield to change your offense color if you plan on using naaman.

Doh! So is moses kills an egyptian, Easily fixed though!

Edited. Nice catch. I forgot the "related to" clause.


Yeah that is what I am worrying about is init. I mean a gold emp would always snag init but it doesn't have namaans cbn goodness. Unless rome is out then I think they have first strike. Maybe add iaredemption/blue tassles and crud load of negates to win battles?

Quote from: Timeout King: Janissary
It's a great defense, but it won't win a game. There isn't a single way to deal with an evil character-no souls is not good. At All. You may not give any (depends on the draw, and how much hireling abuse can delay the game in a tournament), but you won't get any either, so what is the point?
Do you know what Heroless is?

You can use many of the Evil Characters but the Emperors and Naaman are the more desirable ones.  Gold is definitely there to change Naaman into the color I need him to be.  However, the goal is to be able to use up the gold and then change to red or vice versa.  The snag is in initiative. 

wk4c, Moses is a prophet.  Transfiguration refers to Moses and Elijah.  Moses and Elders refers to Moses, who is a prophet.  Covenant with Moses, same story as Moses and Elders.

RR, David is a prophet and David's Harp is therefore an illegal card.

Jannisary, your second deck is illegal because it has prophet stuff.

Sean

I am aware of heroless, Josh is good at it. The first time I read through it I saw no enhancements somehow. Seeing it again, it could work, but I still think a normal deck would do better than that.

And, good call on the Prophets. I can't believe I missed that.

Keep it up, my friends.  Please just make sure that you will soon have some approvals for each other's decks after you all get satisfied with changes based on your recommendations.  Please note that the decks must have a chance at winning over ones that do have more power cards in them.  I have great confidence in you.

Please invite more deck builders who might wish to join this contest.

Thanks.

Godbless all!
