Treebeard: Nice deck ideas but man, your decks are really, reallly underpillared.
thanks acs i realise now that looking over a couple of my decks they were under pillared particularly my indulgence, retribution and wisdom. Some however that may of been underpillared seemed to work fine unless rng had done the rare thing and favoured me i tried them all out against dragoon after the tourney. They were deliberately designed that way to fit the tourney limitations and to make sure they fit into a thirty card deck any potential change would be appreciated feedback on decks can only make me a better deckbuilder.
Well, that is how I build decks:
Step 1: Add 12 pillars. This is mandatory. If you don't do this, you'll get carried away trying to fit good stuff into the deck, and in the end you'll be running decks with 7-8 pillars only. At this point, the 12 pillars can be anything, since they are just a placeholder for now.
Step 2: Complete the rest of the deck.
Step 3: Complete the pillar distribution. If needed, swap some pillars for pendulums. (for now, based on instinct).
Step 4: Fine- tune the number of pillars/pendulums. (test test test) More often than not I end up adding a 13th pillar.
This is for a standard 30 card duo. For decks with 35 cards, I usually add ~14-15 pillars. For decks with 40 cards, I like to add ~17 for start. For a mono, sometimes I try with 11 pillars first, unless I clearly see that it won't be enough.
During playtesting, it is much more common that I add additional pillars than that I take them out.
