That's the only reason I could think it would be so long.Doug Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09492162192250783305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625171860671748699.post-16977320803078705242008-02-27T16:20:00.000-08:002008-02-27T16:20:00.000-08:00Hey Sleeve, thanks for the comments.I agree about ...Hey Sleeve, thanks for the comments.<BR/><BR/>I agree about the kelpie. Although it worked pretty well for me for the first 3/4ths of the game, it wasn't much use in the last four or five matches before the end. Honestly, the reason I had been using it was because when the AI fell victim, it dramatically shortened the length of the average match from about two hours to 45 minutes. <BR/><BR/>Wall of Ice is a good choice, and there are definitely a few other tweaks I would like to make. Just for variety, I'm actually planning on starting a brand-new single-colored deck, probably green.<BR/><BR/>The thing that sucks about Culdcept is that there isn't any way to trade in cards you don't want, or buy cards that you do. I have some good deck ideas based on some of the cards I've seen opponents using, but without any way to pick or choose what you have, it sort of frustrates the whole experimentation process.<BR/><BR/>A longshot hope I have is that there will eventually be card packs or some sort of store available via Live... I'd much rather pay a couple bucks and get exactly what I want than to grind game after game with a very real possibility of never getting the few things that I'm after. Trading being limited to in-person blows the big one. too... that was a big missed opportunity, IMO. Maybe there will be a patch for that later.<BR/><BR/>Probably not, but a man can dream.Brad Gallawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452185302281177580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625171860671748699.post-23801311803886339022008-02-27T12:37:00.000-08:002008-02-27T12:37:00.000-08:00(this is sleeve btw)(this is sleeve btw)Cirrochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719196429207243186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4625171860671748699.post-84474318334341029642008-02-27T12:36:00.000-08:002008-02-27T12:36:00.000-08:00Congrats on finishing the game.

If I were you, I'd drop the whole Kelpie angle and replace them with a couple Walls of Ice. Kelpie may work great against the AI, but it's much less effective in multiplayer -- it immediately marks you as a target, and it's pretty easy to kill/circumvent. I'd also consider lightening up on all the first strike landholders across multiple colors in favor of more all-rounders like Minotaur (only 1 in a primarily red/green deck?!) and Knight.Cirrochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719196429207243186noreply@blogger.com
