"Starter" identifier decks
« on: November 30, 2020, 12:02:50 PM »

Hey guys, so as most of you know by now I've built multiple decks to play against my new/young players.  I am in need of expanding those decks and have long wanted to build decks based around particular identifiers, much like what YTG has.  One thing I did want to do though was try to showcase as many different cards as possible and also not make any/every deck completely "over powered."

So here is what I came up with.  I decided to take each color.  I would make at least one "deck" of every "viable" identifier within that color.  Next I made sure every "deck" had at least 2 negates (3 if possible) and 3 battle winners.  There were two major rules within each "deck."  1) They MUST contain 9 characters (as many as possible with the identifier) and 9 enhancements.  2) I could only use each card once per color.  This allows me to build very balanced decks and adding an offense and defense together with 7 Dominants & Lost Souls gives me a 10 card flex to allow reserve access if needed and utility cards to help make the deck better.

The reason I'm posting here is because I would like help from people who are MUCH better at deck building than myself.  So here is what I'm looking for: Does a card need to be changed out to make one/all of the decks better?  Is there a card I left out that really takes one of these decks from meh to pretty good?  If so, PLEASE tell me.  If you are willing to help, here are the few rules I would like to have followed:

1) Please leave a minimum of 6 characters that fulfill the identifier of the deck.
2) Please only use each card once per color.  So if a card you want to use is already in another deck it would need to be replaced within the deck you are taking it from.
3) Don't hold back!  You won't offend if you completely redo all of it.  Again I don't mark myself as a good deck builder and that is why I'm putting them here.  I do want as many decks as possible to help give my kids more free cards so I won't be removing a deck just to make the others better at this point though.

Thanks in advance for any help you offer!

I wanted to start out with the color that had the least amount of "viable" options to show what I'm doing and to explain if needed.  While there is only one "real" identifier within this color, I need as many decks as possible so I came up with a way to expand it.  Characters are in alphabetical order.  Enhancements are in 3 "groups" in alphabetical order.  1st section is interrupts/negates.  2nd section is battle winners.  3rd section is "extra" enhancements.

Revelation Demons:

Abaddon, the Destroyer
Beast from the Earth
Beast from the Sea
Death
Dragon's Minions
Kings of the Earth
Locust from the Pit
Red Dragon
The Frog Demons

Blasphemies
War in Heaven

Dragon's Wrath
Hypocrite's Proselyte
Tribulation

Fires of Abaddon
Nicolaitans' Teaching
Words of the Accuser
Worshipping Demons


O.T. Demons:

Foul Spirit
King of Tyrus (PoC)
Prince of Persia
The Bear
The Fallen Star
The Serpent
The Terrifying Beast
The Winged Lion
Trembling Demon

Evil Armor
Lurking (P)

Fearfulness
Fiery Darts
Suicidal Swine Stampede

First Bowl of Wrath
Lost Anointing
Persistent Pestering
Table of Demons


N.T. Demons:

Demon behind the Idol
Evil Spawn
Fallen Angel
King of Tyrus (PS)
Prince of this World
Seven Wicked Spirits
Spirit of Fear
The god of this World
Wandering Spirit

Deafening Spirit
Did God Really Say?

Shame
Sinning Hand
Two Possessed by Demons

Evil Sacrifices
Imitating Evil
Twice Afflicted
Worse than the First

Hi there,

not having a particular proposal regarding this deck (yet) - since orange is not really one of "my" brigades - what about setting up an orange "Beasts" deck in addition to the Demons?

I believe I have all (or most) of the beasts that are orange brigade under the O.T. group.  I might have missed a couple though.
