Poll:Disciples increases deck size?

In the article for Fishing Boat, it was theorized that deck sizes would increase after the release of Disciples.  (I'll assume they meant T1, but hey, discuss T2).  Do you think that T1 will be able to compete in the 100+ deck size?

If by compete you win "win a tournament higher than district", no, probably not.

I dunno, a 100-card T1 Disciples deck could be pretty speedy. With 2x AoCP and a little searching and anti-dom...

But we will have to wait until the set comes out before we can know. :dunno:

I predict 63 being more viable, but standard will still be 50-56.
I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

There have been some VERY competitive 100+ card decks used here in Ohio.  Uthminister is leading the way and gathering a small army of converts as he beats them.

Nothing against Uthminister, but I've played in tourneys with him for years and never seen him place at any of them.  Granted, placing isn't his goal, and his decks are always unique, and he is really fun as a opponent.

Will I build a 150 card T1 deck with 12 Legions? Of course. Do I expect it (or any other 100+ card T1 deck) to do well? Not really, no.

I played Uth, and we battled to a 5-4 victory for him.

I've recently been trying a 100+ deck. The defense I have for it works great most of the time, I just need to find an offense that hits fast and hard to avoid timeouts.

 +1 I doubt I'll see much changes, I could be wrong. I've seen much of the same standard within the state of FL.

Seeing as it didn't kill speed as much as some hoped it did, I'll bet that decks will stay the same.

Well so far my 133 carder has won two games in an hour or less, and lost two due to some seriously messed up draws. I've used this defense in the same size deck for a while, and those draws were just flat out ugly (Ask smokey, both happened against him. His amazing offense draws didn't help either.)

Still, the two relatively fast wins make me happy. It's working so far.  :)

Heck, my 56 carder lost twice at nats due to some seriously messed up draws.  I lost a lot elsewhere, but for other reasons.
