New quest decks

[Corwin72]

Would Mulch be easy to code? I am looking for ways to have green get threshold. Mulch is the best way that I have found. Any better ideas?

Not completely scriptable at the moment. But, I'll make it so it is and add it to SVN.

Edit: But you probably want this for the AI, which will not really work yet.

Thanks,
It might not need it.
Here is an early version of the Threshold deck.
I think that it is an easier medium.

Ok. I figured out a fairly easy way to add it through the AbilityFactorys. If you run SVN, check it out in r8580. AI played it in my test game. Let me know how it works in you deck and if it needs to be played more/less often.

Thanks Dennis,
I update in the morning so I will give it a shot tomorrow. I am almost out of here today.

If it is too hard we could replace 4 Inferno Titan|M11 with 4 Magma Giant|5DN or 4 Borderland Behemoth|Mor.
The 4 Craven Giant|STH could change as well. Perhaps 4 Shatterskull Giant|ZEN?
There are a bunch of big giants that are interesting.
Hagrid 2?

I will just split the copies of the Titans/Craven Giants and the cards you mentioned (and a copy of Sunrise Sovereign). Note that we also have a hard RW Giant deck in Scooby Doo 3 (that is admittedly not much more powerful, even though Brion Stoutarm is a very important 4-drop).

Let's not forget the blue artifact modular deck. Maybe you can reinforce the theme and add some Proliferate spells and charge counter artifacts?

[Corwin72]

I will work on that this morning.

I welcome new ideas on this. I can not think of anything else to do to make the deck more interesting.

Like your decks Corwin.


Here is a new WRG deck featuring +1/+1 counters but the deck has no allies. If this deck is OK we can call it Dilbert. I have an icon ready.

No proliferate?
Your deck makes me really want the counter lords from Eventide.
Bramblewood Paragon
Cenn's Tactician
Oona's Blackguard
Rage Forger
Sage of Fables

I forgot about proliferate. I can remove a 2CC creature or two and replace them with Contagion Clasp.

The counter lords look interesting. There must be a few more theme decks possible with them.

[Corwin72]

I don't like Contagion Clasp for the AI. In my experience the computer will just proliferate for the rest of the game.
I like the one shot spells better. Volt Charge?

Yep. That's exactly how Proliferate is coded for the AI. Putting in some random chance at proliferating is easy enough, but someone must have some decent logic as to when the AI wants to proliferate.

-slapshot5

edit: I was going to say Proliferate is very poorly coded for the AI, but I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. Then I remembered... I'm pretty sure I did that...

"What idiot wrote this piece of code?" Ohhhhh..
