Here are the reasons why I chose SoB:
The combo is slow --> You need enough
, a Machine and some Pends to achieve
to grow the machine. And then you need
and TU to suddenly increase your damage output.
So instead of having many copies of each card, which each needs its own quanta I decided to go with draw power. SoB is good to either draw the missing pends or the missing machine. Since a bad draw mostly consists of having a missing part of the combo it means that the rest is still in your deck.
Here a simple example why I like draw power: When you have 4 Cards, 2 Black and 2 Red ones, and you want the red ones and pick two cards, the chances are 1/3 that you have what you need. While if instead of black cards you have two cards that allow you to pick another one, no matter what you draw, you'll always have the two you need. So in my opinion draw power often is more reliable than have more copies of the needed card.
Also, I wanted to use some of the new Shards and SoB seemed to fit pretty well, especially because of the
mark. Of course the suggestions of making it a duo with SoR and adding more copies might work as well, but I can't say if it's better. However, it is a good point which definitely is worth trying.
As for the suggestions of making an
tower to a pend I think it's a good change. When many machines hit the field and you're facing a stall deck you'll need more
.
So, this was my reasoning behind it ^^ Of course new suggestions are still welcome
I really like this deck, it's lot of fun to play
