Weyland Teaching Deck

Disturbed1 249

I think part of the attraction of this game is the flavor of the individual factions, and as such, I think limiting a teaching deck to a single faction per side isn’t a great idea. With that in mind I have designed a teaching deck for each faction, except NBN as they don’t yet have a deluxe expansion yet.

Each of these decks are built using the Core Set ID and cards from a single Core set and that factions deluxe expansion in an effort to showcase cards that won’t cycle out (so limiting the amount of updating these would need over time), showing off a lot of the main themes of the factions, and keeping the cost of building these kinds of decks to a minimal cost.

If you have any thoughts on how to improve these, please let me know.

Great idea, though I don't think Traffic Accident is a solid teaching card in a weyland-only deck as the ways to apply 2 tags is very weak. Maybe Patch or some more ICE would be better? I am also not completely sold in multiple one-offs in a teaching deck, AS it confronts the new player with too many optinons compared to a more simple deck with many 3-offs.

Those are good points. What about... -2 Traffic Accident -1 Wormhole +2 Patch +1 Enigma

Archer is great, but best when only sacking 1-pt for it. An Orion is so expensive if you dont have time or money to advance it. I'd hate for a new player to get stuck with multiples of those cause they look good but dont wind up being able to use them. I was debating on dumping Checkpoint, but it is a pretty solid ICE, especially in a format like this, and it gives the player another opportunity to consider bad publicity, aside from HT.
