But, as my future job is to collect the decklists of top players at the tournaments, I want to speak a bit about the proper use of decklists. Yesterday i tried to get some decklists from older tournaments, but the players refused to spoil them, as they Jonas Gabrielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01090063385284682290noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288085.post-1149394380449740802006-06-04T05:04:00.000+01:002006-06-04T05:13:00.463+01:00A Couple o' Doubles DecksDoubles is probably my favorite format right now. It's fast, and it's fun, and it's brutal. And playing the game as part of a smoothly functioning, well-synced team is much more satifsying to me than going solo. I spent most of my prep-time for Kubla Con working on doubles decks with Jason Partee (The Maker), with whom I have fought many a doubles battle.We went with Tavis Jape and Trevaine Pete Vander Giessenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07061256923172746704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288085.post-1148669356038335472006-05-26T19:41:00.000+01:002006-05-26T19:49:32.463+01:00The Flip SideSo the corollary to my last post is this: you are also human.And this means that you'll make mistakes, and second guess yourself, and play too cautiously.What's the solution?Relax, mainly.This isn't necessarily easy, but the ability to chill out and just play your game can be invaluable when it comes down to tourney time. How?Knowing that your opponent is probably having the same issues helps; Pete Vander Giessenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07061256923172746704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288085.post-1148352994233647212006-05-23T03:47:00.000+01:002006-05-23T03:57:53.423+01:00The Human ElementMuch good stuff that has been written, on this site, on the Temple, and in other places, about the tactical, strategic and mathematical considerations that one must take into account when playing Warlord. But there is another dimension to the game, and it's one that's a bit trickier to talk about in concrete terms: your opponent is a human being. Okay, stating the obvious, right?

One of the things that Elf decks tend to do is discard cards for an effect. And I therefore usually include Treyik in my decks, because, he's pretty good in a discard deck, right?

Action speed in generalI already wrote something about the importance of the first actions in the first turn. Now I want to proceed with a few more general thoughts.Speed (or Tempo coming from [lat. tempus, temporis = TIME]) is always an important part of Warlord CCG. Why do you think Rr'ess is better than Maddawc? Or why do you think Tresven gets more love than Kether?Kether Tyrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14407494333295613227noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288085.post-1147944741702520252006-05-18T09:53:00.000+01:002006-05-18T10:32:21.713+01:00Speed Part 1No, I don't take drugs. This is not about some weird stuff you take and happen to see funny colours or schemes. Not at all.I want to write a bit (blogging is fun) about the different kinds of speed in Warlord CCG.I. Action speed in the first turnAs an active BH I've done lots of Warlord demos (including the Essen Games Fair '05) and basically you see "new" players always making the same Tyrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14407494333295613227noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288085.post-1147900416761292302006-05-17T22:03:00.000+01:002006-05-18T16:46:36.456+01:00Lady Luck is a Moody WenchI am known, in some circles, as a devilishly "lucky" player. While I have witnessed friends ritualistically bless their dice with their own blood in order to bring the luck factor under control, a few basic insights into the way that probability works might suggest more practical ways of coping (and give my opponents some insights into why I seem to be so damn lucky all the time).Let us begin Pete Vander Giessenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07061256923172746704noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28288085.post-1147895158756469482006-05-17T20:43:00.000+01:002006-05-17T20:45:58.763+01:00The Guest slotAlongside our regular contributors, we'll also be inviting occasional columns from other well known or capable players.
