    Deck building challenge

    Just for fun, lets pick some crappy to middle of the road cards and see who can come up with the best deck using that card. In order to qualify, the card must be crucial to the success of your deck.

    Let's start things off with "Campfire Stories"....


    For my deck, I'm going with my "Armored Panzer Division Boris" deck which relies upon maxing out the defense and offense of your Armored Sandworms and keeping them alive and happy with Campfire Stories. Here's the cards:

    1 Boris
    2 Puwen (it is nice to have some firepower in the early stage)
    2 Aldon (use for early game firepower and to boost your Armored Sandworms in the late game)
    4 Armored Sandworms (obviously)
    2 War Banners
    2 Smashing Blows
    1 Enrage
    3 Crippling Blows (combine this with Aldon & Retreat for early game control)
    4 Blood Frenzy
    1 Retreat
    3 Reinforced Armor (Use on your Armored Sandworms to give them a bit more defense)
    4 Campfire Stories (To keep your Armored Sandworms alive and happy)
    1 Extra Sharp (never know when you can use an extra kick)
    3 King's Pride
    2 Jeweler's Dream

    Why don't you put warrior training in the deck as well to place on your worms? Now that would be a pain to deal with for any shadow hero except Elementals.

    Yeah it's quite ridiculous and scary.

    But you can still cripple it, retreat it, mind control it, assassinate it, etc, and you have plenty of time to do so since it only deals 2 dmg. It's fun but breakable.

    how about a deck that uses nothing but common and uncommon cards... nothing you cant get in a starter deck allowed.

    and the worm thing, gosh... thats still wow... have to do 8 damage in one shot or 4 damage 5 times... even with the rest is still wow. and i though a gargoyle with life infusion was awesome. he can take 2 supernova and still be kicking... 2 supernova will kill a worm as is but with reinforced armor... it can take 2 also. HEY BORIS, YOU GETTING THIS??? GWEN? oh... even better, FROSTMIRE, YOU GETTING THIS... the worm can survive 2 supernova from you!!! NISH??? tired of killing your own allies or holding on to them?

    Or better still, how about your deck has to built out of nothing but neutral or faction cards; no class-specific cards included.

    My Boris deck runs this strategy. It's nice on paper, but lots of simple cards breaks this strategy...
    The core of my deck is the 3 Armored Sandworns, 3 Reinforced Armors, 3 Warrior Trainings and 3 Earthen Protectors. I tried Campfire Stories, but it's uselless because nobody wastes time trying to harm the Sandworn after you throw Reinforced Armor on it.
    Anyway, it's frustrating to lay a 9 resources combo down and have it nullified by a Crippling Blow...
    Why won't you run into rain and pray?
    Let the tears splash all over you...
