You could have 15 doms in a 112 card deck, but a 112 card deck is non-standard; I gave a list of seven, since a standard deck size is 50-56 cards.

Professoralstad,

I understand that, my type 1, 112 card deck usually decks out when someone is halfway through their standard deck.  I haven't played it in a few years, but I intend to rebuild it and refine it.  Thanks for the clarification.
I'm not sure how this is possible with the 16 card hand limit rule.  Unless by "deck out," you mean that you've already discarded half of it with Gates of Hell.

It was a pre-Angel Wars deck.  When did the 16 card hand limit rule go into effect? A lot of the characters are down on the table at that point, a lot of enhancement cards are in Storehouse, a lot of enhancements may be in the discard pile at that point in time yes, all 15 lost souls (i don't play with hopper) have been drawn, and are in the field of play (unless some have been rescued at that point in time).  The deck doesn't have many if any sites because there are two many souls for that to be an effective strategy. At the end of every turn i would have eight cards or less in my hand unless Tables of the Law is active in which case I have ten or less cards in my hand.  Deck out as I understand it means no draw pile left, please correct me if that is an incorrect assumption on my part.  Most 50 - 56 card decks don't deck out in six turns to eight turns, but if I had 15 or less cards in my hand at any time for six turns to eight turns, I could potentially deck out since the 112 card deck -15 Lost Souls only leaves me with 97 non souls cards to draw.  I'll have to read up on Gates of Hell, that sounds interesting, like I said this was a pre-Angel Wars built deck, but typically I didn't have more than 16 cards in my hand at any one time, but game after game people were surprised that I was decking out against their 50-56 card decks.  As soon as I have a few more sets organized, i'm going to try to rebuild the deck and refine it further.

NECROPOST!

 So DoN has fallen out of favor? That's very interesting...

Since the Dom cap, yes. Either there are more Dom's that are more powerful and influential, or artifacts are completely negligible towards some offensive themes to necessitate the need for artifact removal. However, some themes still rely on DoN as a staple; there are so many hard counters against FbtnB that it still needs the extra spot removal found in DoN.
