New Player - Some questions

**h4rvey** · 06-21-2011, 07:10 PM

/wave Hello Everyone,
I started playing 2 days ago. I am addicted already!
I have purchased all cards currently available. I have read a bunch of strat / deck builds, i may have confused myself at times lol.

To get a better understanding of the game would it be best to play a bunch of different decks? Or just focus on one build?

As a beginning player is there 'best' hero / deck to start with to learn the game?

I am currently trying out Jericho

build. Ive seen a few different styles on how to play Jericho

and have been switching out a few cards. I think im getting to know how to play this deck. Ive played a few challenges and am currently rating 111.

I am trying to keep my deck under 40 cards. My goal is to learn this game and improve in skill so i can join a active guild/team and play in future tournaments.
As well as place high in the ladder.

Hi and welcome to SE :P

if you want more help on deckbuilding maybe its a good idea to post your deck in the strategy section and ask for advice.

Also (my opinion) you should try to limit your deck to the minimum of 30 (maybe 31) cards, becaues this will increase the chance to draw a certain card and execute the strategy that your deck contains faster thus leading you to victory faster.

Thanks for the reply, and i dont think im ready to post my build just yet.
I was mainly wondering if people usually test out multiple decks when starting out or not.

It depends on the person. I for example have been sticking to one deck, with MANY iterations removing cards and adding in whenever I believe they will benefit me. Honestly there is no "best" hero. Just find the one you like, or the bunch if it's more than 1, and roll with it. I for one am preparing for the increase to 40 which will happen soon. Prolly in 1.27 or 1.28.

Jericho

is not that easy to play. Since you have all cards, i would play a gwen, followed up by a majiya,...
i think you should focus on a deck for about 3-5 days

It's probably best to find a hero that suits the style you like and stick with it. E.g. Zaladar

is an agressive ally rush, majiya quick burn etc. Obviously there are other ways to play these decks, they're just examples. Once you find a hero you like, stick with it and tune the deck. Then when you feel ready, switch to another hero and go again. You'll pick up good strategies from some of your opponents, but more importantly, you'll learn the subtle mechanics of the game.

If you want to learn how to play against everydeck and get good results on tourneys you should play with everydeck until you know their weakness and strengths.

If you want to get a good ranking and become an ignorant about all other decks so you can pop up in the forums to cry everytime about how your hero is subpar and how another hero is so better than him without any reason in the posts, you should play a single deck.
