So I recently caught up and bought my 2nd core and all the packs. ...and I don't know the first thing about deckbuilding. I guess the ranks and values matter for combat/lowball in addition to what the cards actually do?

I think I might try a Law Dogs deck where they buy guns, shoot people with them, and punish cheaters. Seems like a basic starting archetype.

So here's what I'm looking at for a first go round.quote:♠ Spades (12) It uses a basic full house structure, Aces and 2s, with 6s and 3s as backup. I can see it getting torn up by a Shotgun with those values though. The basic style is to make police officers with guns to murder people. Should I use jokers? And I'm not totally sure who I'd start. I keep finding myself wanting to start too much upkeep. Deviant fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Apr 20, 2015 |

Is spamming deeds to gain control points as rapidly as possible that can't be meaningfully contested a viable strategy?

Hauki posted:So I jumped on the massdrop for this and got it yesterday. Used to play the CCG way back when and figured this was worth checking out. Anything I should know before leaping in, either changes or new things? It doesn't look like the OP has been updated since before the game first released. I'd also be teaching some people who aren't familiar with the ccg if anyone's got anything to add in that realm. use the prebuilt decks and follow the sample game with one other person who will indulge that first. it teaches all the things you can do, which helps because Doomtown is a game with lots of options at any given moment, and sometimes the right thing to do is nothing.

I think one of the troubles I'm having is coming up with a concept. Netrunner i find easier, do people pick a card and build around it in DT? or a combo? or more, basic deck archetype?

PaybackJack posted:Nope. You don't get points for having corpses in your jail. Well, that combo is less good than I thought. But Judge+Burton still seems good. Also, can I get feedback on this 4R Hex deck? The idea is to blood curse the enemy out to gently caress-all influence and win on control. I want to take 2 decks to gencon and this is one i'm considering. The Fourth Ring (Base Set) Dude (13) 1x Micah Ryse* (Base Set) 4x Avie Cline (Base Set) 2x Jia Mein* (Base Set) 4x Steele Archer* (Base Set) 2x Smiling Tom (Election Day Slaughter) Deed (12) 4x B & B Attorneys (Base Set) 4x Carter's Bounties (Base Set) 4x General Store (Base Set) Spell (12) 4x Shadow Walk (Base Set) 4x Blood Curse (Base Set) 4x Puppet (Election Day Slaughter) Action (15) 4x War Paint (Base Set) 4x Unprepared (Base Set) 3x Hex Slingin' (Base Set) 4x It's Not What You Know...

I originally picked cards I thought would work well, and then doubled down on their draw value. I guess I don't need to do that since I won't be getting into shootouts (ideally), or I'll be winning them via other means? Any reason you're not running 2 jokers?

Then the guy I'd gotten to judge no-showed and another guy decided he had better things to do, taking us from 6 with a judge to 5 with no judge, so I stepped out to judge leaving 4 players to compete for the sheriff stuff. Sending you an e-mail. Still using that chronos protocol mat, i am the envy of the netrunner tryhards.

Can I get some thoughts on this A-2-3 108 Bandits Deck?quote:Dude (14) The idea is to start up the powerful upkeep dudes, pay for them turn 1 using Benjamin, then get hyper aggressive with them, while also throwing down a few deeds to cover the expenses on subsequent turns. Six Shooters are defense against flight of the lepus. It's designed to be highly aggressive, and kinda falls flat otherwise I think? Deviant fucked around with this message at 16:40 on Sep 22, 2015 |

PaybackJack posted:Could work, Hyper Aggression needs more shootout actions though. You also have no cheating punishment and that's a no-no especially in a hyper aggression deck because the only people who are fighting you are going to be ones that feel the strength of their draw is good enough to do so, which probably means a 3x16 type build. These are great points, but I'm so tight for card space as is, I'm not sure what I'd cut.

So I ran this 108 bandits deck yesterday and it is getting some work done.quote:The 108 Righteous Bandits (Immovable Object, Unstoppable Force) Shotgun isn't quite as good as Holster, but it fits the draw structure better. You start it up, grift for 3 on turn 1, then park Abuleita at a deed with helpers nearby. Ideally you can get a deed out turn 1 to get the economy going. It's super aggressive, and the kung fu chains well.

EDIT: Misread the new 108. That's playable. Other cards? Not sure what i'd do with them. Kung fu wizards still gettin' shafted. Hustled is playable in my Aces/2s/3s Kung Fu deck (earlier in thread), maybe. I never manage to get shifu speaks at the same time as all the kung fu hustles.
