A Tip From PlaydohDude: Choosing Your Deck
8.22.06

When building a deck, the toughest part for all players is choosing what it should be. There are 3 simple steps for choosing a decktype. My example through out this article is a Disaster deck.

STEP 1. CHOOSING STRATEGY/KEY CARD

This is the most important part of the proccess, as it sets up the foundation for the rest of the deck. In my example Disaster deck, the key card is Disaster of the NIne-Tailed Fox Spirit(Path to Hokage), which injures all ninjas in play. This would set up other supporting cards around using that effect to its advantage. If not using a key card, your strategy is the first step. Want an aggressive deck? Want to control your opponents cards? Want to make your opponent deck out? Thats what you need to think about. Look through the card lists(Bandais site has some nice pics of the cards) and try to find what cards fit the strategy you choose.

STEP 2. SEARCHING FOR SUPPORT AND PICKING FILLERS

This is almost as important as the first step. Look through the card lists and try to find cards that will help your theme. Iruka [Reward](Coils of the Snake) and Ichiraku Noodle Shop (Path to Hokage) both heal your ninja, which can be nice after a Disaster of the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit and they also both are Lightning, which fits our Disasters element. Naruto Uzumaki [Imposter] (Path to Hokage) also heps prevent himself damage, which can help stop a Disaster to him, and can be a life-saver, on a right coin flip. When using an aggressive strategy, cards like Sasuke Uchiha[Individual Play](Path to Hokage) or Zabuza MOmochi [Demon of the Cloud Village](Path to Hokage) would be nice to include. The second part of this step helps to put in fillers. Filelrs are cards that don't directly support your theme, but are there to fill the fourty card minimum, like adding Kiba and Akamaru into a Fire/Water, they don't directly help your strategy.

Thats a simple way to find your deck type. Thaks for reading. Any comments? PM on the Forums at PlaydohDude, or email me at strikeninja223@comcast.net.
