Valencia (trashy)

mendax 1024

An early draft, really. The idea is to run early, run often, and turn the bad pub into a lot of free money. I feel like this is a good idea, but I'm not entirely convinced on the execution.

I like the idea behind this deck! However, I believe that one of the major drawbacks of Valencia is that with a 50 cards decksize you will need some tutoring, since you cannot rely on findind the right breaker at the right moment and this can slow you down a lot. I will cut the desperado and replace them with 3 SMC So you can insta-tutor everything and get a 1 cr discount for the bad pub. Also, since you are running parasites and datasuckers, I will add a grimoire and cut something else, maybe 1x for each of the cutlery events? Also, the deck seems a bit light on economy and BP enhanchement

Desperado is the biggest economy piece in the deck. If you're swapping that out, you're removing the entire point of what this deck is trying to do.

With John, IHW, and Inject, there's plenty of draw. You are also not going to need the full suite of breakers for quite a while, as everything can be parasited early to cover any missing breakers. Most of the games this has played i've seen about 35 cards or so, which is sufficient to find what's needed.

I get your point. Still, the lack of tutoring for your breakers is something that you need to address

All I can say is that so far it's not been a problem, though I've probably only played about 10 games or so with it.

I should clarify - I'm sure there's a good Val deck with more BP stuff and with econ other than desperado, but that's not what I'm trying to do here.
