Added some changes to the card list. Chronic, your apology is accepted because I tend to get stuck in my ways too. I use to only play 133 cards deck, until I had a losing streek starting. Now I play between 63-70 card decks. I never thought I would play below 100.

What year was that? I'm just curious.

2007. So it was awhile ago, but speed decks ruled the day for the most part back then as well. The idea that a 70 card deck could win was juat as fantastical then as it is now.

Need I mind everyone of... Monstrosity? Although that was more of a tech then anything, but still. Oh yes, and the kiss.  :-*

That was before Mayhem, which makes it even more likely that you'll get draw-screwed with a big deck.

Agreed. I think that's the main point in 50-56 card decks now v. back in the day: a FTM wins the game, especially if your opponent is going to wind up with 64 cards in his deck while you have 36.

I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

Mayhem was out at the time of Boston Nationals but somehow Tyler placed 3rd in T1-2P with a 70 card deck.

I played a version of Jordan's Heroless a couple days ago and it's still something to be feared. In the hands of a good player, a 70 card deck is still a forced to be reckoned with.

In the hands of a good player, a starter deck can be a force to be reckoned with. That doesn't mean you should play one.

IMO, though they will be competitive every game, realistically the best a 70 card deck could do at nats would be 6 wins. There's just too many variables that would lead to their demise. Some games would be time out wins, some would be ties, but 6 full wins would be the most I could see them doing.

Now next year, if and when dominant cap goes in, 70 carders will be more like 7 wins.
