Having had the game for a few weeks, I'm starting to get into deck building, this is my first attempt at an Orc deck. It has a 50 card limit for resource reasons rather than a strong feeling that you must have minimum deck sizes (only have 50 deck protectors, no more in stock atm) I have: 1x Core Set 1x Skavenblight Threat 1x Path of the Zealot 1x Tooth And Claw (Deathmaster's Dance isn't available in the UK atm) Uniits (25) 3x Squig Herders 3x Black Orc Squad 3x Lobber Crew 1x Night Goblins 3x Spider Riders 2x Boar Boyz 1x Ironclaw's Horde 2x Followers of Mork 1x Ugrok Beardburna 1x Grimgor Ironhide 3x Crooked Teeth Goblins 1x Big 'Uns 1 Doom Divers Support (10) 1x Totem of Gork 1x Rock Lobber 1x Grimgor's Camp 3x Contested Village 2x Choppa 2x War Paint Tactics 3x Favour of Mork 3x Mob Up 2x We'z Bigga! 1x Pillage 1x Waaagh! 1x Rip Dere 'Eads Off! 1x Smash-Go-Boom! 1x Troll Vomit Quests(2) 2x Smash 'Em All! So if you have any thoughts and ideas on the deck please comment

Well I don't think the odds change much from 50 cards to 60, I do see what your saying though, but I am not talking about 100 cards each deck, just 60. I think the benefits of an extra 10 cards outways the draw backs, especially when you can change the amount of cards you draw. The only deck I might want to have down at 50 cards is orks, but even then, there are still benefits of having an extra few cards, which could allow you to switch strategies if needed. (i.e if your initial rush fails) But I think both viewpoints are fair, so sticking to 50 cards is fine as well.

Why do I want to aim for 60 cards per deck on average? I find it very hard to go down to 50, the cardpool is limited but not that limited. I have 57 dwarf cards, of the17 in the expansions I have with me, none of them seem bad at all. I cant see any reason not to include all the extras. So that means to get down to 50 I have to get rid of at least 7 cards from the starting deck, and that would also mean including no nuetral cards, and although elves and dwarves teaming up is slightly silly back ground wise, there are also some good high elves cards to take into genuine consideration. I have 55 empire cards, I want to make my empire deck a very controlling one, maybe with a bit of milling focus so I really want to include the infilltrate quest card so that puts the deck size to 56, some of the alliance neutral units also seems quite powerful in an empire deck, and may add the extra power empire lack at times which would increase the size even more Chaos have 55 cards plus I want to include all the skaven which puts it at 69. Orks should be the easiest to get down to 50, but they have some really powerful non unit cards, the actual surprising reason I found it difficult to put the orks down to 50 is getting the correct balance between units and other cards. Theres only like 30 cards Ive definately ruled out so far, so in short, I would find it extremely difficult to cut a deck down to 50 cards.

hmm i must have misread, it is said there is 2 blockers, but for the life of me I cant find what the 2nd 1 is now. Maybe thats why I found the problem so hard I was inventing a unit that didnt exsist

nah contested village wouldnt work, as the rock lobber makes you discard a unit, its a shame, I nearly had the solution, I can do it in 10 cards just not 9. Janeck your 1 damage short, Your forced to destroy 1 unit through the rock lobber. Flames of tzeentch only kills the black orks, so you still have to kill the big'uns and destroy the battlefied which is a total of 10 health, where you can only do 9 damage.

I dont know how to post it to you, the challenge with chaos heroes was far easier, heres my best effort on this challenge, i'm not sure it is legal or correct. Turn 1 Servant into kingdom Gor in battlefield Bloodthirster in battlefield as development Turn 2 2x gor in battlefield Bloodthirster as development in battlefield Kill quest zone with 3 gors in battlefield with 2 developments Turn 3 4 resources, 3 cards Horrific mutation Flames of Tzeentch for 2 Bolt of change I sacrifice servant in kingdom to lobber crew I do 2 wounds to black ork squad with flames of tzeentch Horrific mutation means I don’t have to put any damage on black ork squad and only 1 on Big ‘Uns I do 11damage. If he plays flavour of mork he still dies as I do 10 damage, and hes has black orks on 0 health and Big'Uns on 1 so I only need to do 9 damage If he rips 1 of my battlefield developments it is a bloodthirster so overall I do 10 damage; 3 from gors, 5 from bloodthirster, 2 from bolt of change, and he can’t play favour of mork.

There is also OCTGN which has a deckbuilding facility of sorts, but you would have to locate invasion files or make them yourself

Sorry couldn't find edit button Here are my thoughts on splitting the 38 neutrals any thoughts or ideas for changes would be most welcome Dwarfs 9 3x contested Fortress 3x Forge 1x Prepare for War 1x Abandonned Mine 1x Reap What’s Sown Empire 10 3x contested village 3x Armoury 1x Infiltrate 1x Surprise assault 1x Scout Camp 1x Inovation Orks 9 3x Warpstone Evacuation 3x Forgotten Cemetery 1x Prepare for war 2x Lightning Cannon Chaos 10 3x Contested Stronghold 2x Scout Camp 1x Warp Lightning Cannon 1x Chittering Horde 1x Burn it Down 1x Pilgrimmage 1x animosity

First off I'm a very new player, have had the game for just over a week, I've played 10+ games so far, rotating through the decks. Im just starting to try to get into deckbuilding, as so far Ive only played with the core decks with the neutrals dealt out randomly. The hard task I want to achieve, is to have 4 built decks 1 fo each of the races, that are at least superior to the core deck. As this is not possible with just one core set I have bought 1 copy of each of the battle packs available in the uk. So I have 1x core 1x skavenblight 1x path of the zealot 1x tooth and claw And my overall aim is to be able to run 4 decks, ork, chaos, empire, dwarfs simultaneously (not the best decks ever just superior to the starter decks) while trying to keep the decks fairly balanced between each other. Although Ideally I would want 3-4 times everything, its just not possible for me at the moment,. but seeing as their are 38 neutral non unit cards, and 266 other cards in my possession, I thought it may be possible to come up with an adequate solution to my dilemma. My own deck building ideas have been to try to find a good way to split the 38 neutrals equally, and to get deck with at least 50% units, at around 60 cards each. With orks slightly lower and empire higher. So as im new to all this I thought a few kind souls could help me on the way. I will post my ideas for splitting the nuetrals and the decks themselves shortly.
