Im going to assume how noone is commenting on this, that this deck is absolutely perfect in every way.

Umm, not necessarily.  You're missing a few dominants.  On offense and defense, you don't have enough battle winners. There's a couple things..

This is a casual deck. I am satisfied to lose 0-5 as long as i discard as many cards as possible :D

Agreed.  Wouldn't you want to win with it while discarding mass cards?

because thats not the point. This is a deck only made for fun. I would rather have Stealing in here (discard the top card of opponents deck. Draw the top card of own). rather than Magicians snakes (immune to heroes and dominants)... it helps my deck achieve its goal better that way.

It might just be me, but I don't think losing 0-5 is fun...

*sigh* Once again, the whole point is to discard your opponents hand and deck as much as possible. What annoys me is the fact that people think that the most important thing about a game is winning that they dont get the true joy out of it. This is just a FUN deck made to have fun and not win, or to go up against decks that one would use at a tournament. You may win, but i discarded the top 25 cards of your deck. Thats my goal. If you have advice to help me make that goal even greater, please do so. Otherwise, there is no reason to reply to this post.

I don't think there's any other possible ways to discard more cards from the deck.

Almost all of my ECs discard top card of deck... Why would i change that?
Title: Re: The Cannibal
Post by: Master KChief on August 19, 2011, 01:48:10 PM
because he said wash basin. wash basin also counts your nt heroes, not ec's.

I would switch Shoes of Peace for Dove because Asher can recur Dove since it's Genesis.

I have Dove coming in the mail. Im not going to take it out, but rather add it in :D

There's no way to make this deck better at discarding your opponent' hand and deck.

I agree, its not all about winning....

I would consider putting Gabriel (Warriors) in this deck somehow you would have more control of the discarding.

I might splash Thief in here. I've discarded SoGs with that guy.

What would be really fun would be to add Murmuring or Burning up the Chaff.

Hurrah, IANOB!  I too have a deck discard deck that I have been dying to use (if I had anyone to play against!)  :-\  My deck uses a stand alone angel offense for Gabriel and Angel of the Harvest, Wickedness Removed for more evil discard, along with some recursion and Chamber of Angels.  Don't let 'em dis you, man!

Didn't they have special awards for achieving something non-redeeming related?
