I guess the reason I've stuck with my above mentioned approach is that I'm not very good at making a clear cut to a deck in the first place (e.g. building a deck based on what's good for performance only), especially not when I'm not really familiar with the general concept. On top of that I've been playing decks that usually have Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08017404887206684983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655149346728485675.post-4146670919198201562010-06-09T22:25:56.666+02:002010-06-09T22:25:56.666+02:00I usually make the following approach.

Second: reducing or increasing after test.<br />The 60 card approach is also very good; maybe should be increased to 70 only for combat/mixed combat decks.<br /><br />My deck limit list:<br /><br />Pure Combat 80 <br />Mixed/Toolbox Combat 85 <br />Toolbox 80<br />Pure Bleed 70<br />Politics & Dr.Mafrunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15253605436467969898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655149346728485675.post-70042966609928949892010-06-09T18:10:29.165+02:002010-06-09T18:10:29.165+02:00I'm in the same camp as Stefan and anonymous, ...I'm in the same camp as Stefan and anonymous, though I often find that I end up with 70 card decks as my first draft.John Enohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12524338101149267962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1655149346728485675.post-26855755284887453492010-06-09T08:41:11.176+02:002010-06-09T08:41:11.176+02:00@Michael Heyder

They see and thus use more cards they need, and the more cards they play in the game I think the more they learn from it and grasp it better.<br /><br />The way I see it going bad is in super focused decks as they might fall into that playstyle only.

At least not when building decks whose designs you're not familiar with or that don't have great archetypes all over the www. It's great to let ideas go free and implement as much as possible. You'll soon see which cards are worth keeping and which not, even if you're not sure of it in the first place.

That way, risk of hand jam and bad draw is reduced so I quickly can see the potential of the deck.<br />Most decks needs more cards and I feel it is easier to add than subtract so all the hard work is already done in the first draft.
