-Clever names for deck designs usually mean they suck. In honor of that tradition, i'm considering a pirate-y, resource-focused deck of corporate pirates and bolaar, heavy use of hazards (when i actually get some), monsters (when i actually acqurie some), and occurences to deny opponent resources and increase my coffers, offensive capability is secondary.

The deck would be light on ship power, but would include at least 4 of the S3 corporate ship that has shroud web onboard and ready to go. Good defense in the early going, that one is. As for crew, i was thinking Tax Collector, Rogue Cop (gotta have at least one), some pirates of varying strengths, and a C7 Judge for flavor and slave auctions.

The hazards i do have could conceivably be focused on Time Wave discards. I like the Tectonic Maurader monster card but have little else as of yet to prevent it from being my exceptions.

The purpose of the above is to illustrate i am looking for other ideas of (preferrably) uncommon cards to compliment the theme. Any suggestions welcome. I will add to this thread over the next week or so as my own deck ideas take a more solid form. I have enough terrain to power a pirate deck, i think the main issue is just what sort of mix would be okay for this idea and anything y'all have seen otu there that jives with this concept.

Have a good one.....Lobo

16 ships w/3 of them ships from the future is a little light,plus dont forget to keep a fairly high mix of defence cards and card drawing

but if you post it i can comment more exactly

but in my 80 card decks I tend to

17ships,16 terrain,30 must have 5 each of 6 letters, which leaves you w/17 cards to play with

-I'll post a listing of my deck in a couple of days so everyone can see exactly what the makeup is. I may change the focus away from terrain/resource denial just to discard focus as i seem to have more easily-usable discard tools than resource denial cards (other than heavy weapons, of course). Those Time Wave hazards look like fun. And, unlike lots of other things, i have a few copies to make it worthwhile to include. Talk later.....Lobo

s8 Lost Pirate Ship

s10 Gohest's Pirate ship (exception)

That's my first try at a deck. i don't like the A's but my limited card base prevents me from going with equipment or monsters (my preference would be monsters) so i went with A cards. As i acquire more discard cards/resources i will add those and take out fluff. Started out as mroe of a theme cops and robbers, but i think that won't be a major part of this deck unless i beef up the card count (depending on how this one shuffles through). Comments welcomed, thanks and have a good day.....Lobo
