Post by: 3-Liner And Bags Of Chips on January 19, 2011, 01:14:07 AM: it's a ctb deck. and i don't think it'd work with just 5 heroes
Title: Re: Need help with this updated old school deck.
Post by: Warrior_Monk on January 19, 2011, 01:28:37 AM: Well, you still need to add 8 cards with my version (in addition to the 12 card defense I mentioned...apparently I can't count?). You could add a few more heroes, but my suggestion would be to beef up the defense.
