Step 7 is forgotten by most. It's what gives your deck a heart.

step 7 to me, is the most important part of deck building.

Yes, though a lot of things changed since CotC so turn counts are a bit off.

Main idea still works.

There are also a few other things I disagreed with back on CotC and still disagree with now.

yeah, and its probably the sidebars too tempo, there are several takes on that. this is the one that helps me

i dont think the 3cc area has changed. its still the key point on the bell curve.

lock, otk and slowpoke decks, all fall into other categories as a sub set. as do combo decks. i have no idea what a token deck is. (unless you are talking about token generators like they have in MtG, but that still will fall into another category). i broke ut down to be easier to understand. even stall, mill and solo decks fall into control. so in eessence there are only aggro and control decks with some hybrid aggro/control decks






and i do need to go back and edit grammar and spelking, sorry i thought my copy was the final copy that was posted on Omega

OTK no slowpock . OTK- kill one turn.
Slowpocke - hit a little damage each turn while in control desk
Token deck have all tcg

Hybrid Aggro /control it's mid range deck.

TEMPO for me is this: the total resource cost of all the cards you have in play. thats your TEMPO. your actual resources are potential TEMPO. and there are Tempo manipulation cards and abilities. you also have to look at a cards quaility as well when figuring your on board TEMPO. this is subjective because you also have to take into account how well you use it.

I kind of like this definition, it's very simple and straightforward, and tempo has always been something that's hard for me to put my finger on in this game. You brought up an issue with it - how does fireball count into tempo (especially when used against the hero)?

I think to reconcile those, I might just define tempo as "how close you are to winning - assuming the opponent doesn't do anything to stop you." Which would then include your definition in most cases, but would also include things like your opponent's low health. It also makes sense of how certain one turn kill decks can seemingly be generating very little tempo for much of the game and then explode into a win. Since their win-con consists of things like "having 8 resources and bad santa in hand." or "having 6+ locations and portal in hand." Assembling pieces of those then counts towards their tempo - whereas having a stack of 6 locations may be irrelevant to another deck's tempo regardless of who controls them.

Anyway I'm not done reading, just thought I'd bring that up for consideration...nice read so far!
