 The deck isn’t designed as a deck just to kill the Snap Switch deck - its just anormal deck with a few cards added to make sure it can handle the SnapSwitch if and when it should come up against it. You might think thatthrowing in cards just to combat one very specific deck type is a littleextreme, but after you go from 40 cards in your reserve to game over in onebattle you might see things in a different light.

Sharper Than Steel

When you go to a local tournament what things go through your head whendeckbuilding? What factions would I pick, how would I deal with space?Should I play space? What about the Earth/Maverick beat down decks? Howwould I make the best all around deck? These are the questions that flowthrough my head. The deck I have chosen has what I think it needs to dealwith these tough questions.

 The first thing you notice when you see this deck is that’s it’s a three-factiondeck. Now, do not get pushed away by that. This deck is a ground controldeck that has the opportunity to drain and retrieve for a lot. This deck usesthe Quickdraw ability combed with the card Sharper Than Steel.

Retrieval, defense adders, asset cancelling, Really big unit, lots of small,little in the middle, hates ground infiltrators

 Top deck manipulation (your own), powerful abilities, interrupt cancelling,

drain bonuses, inverter shipsMany Kizen related cards, hand cycling with weapons, attrition

decreasers, Ships with conditional power boosts, hates space infiltrators.

Swarm, inverter units, tactics lowering, weak weapons, bouncing units

Weaknesses:

no solid Kizen , no drain bonus's.

good units outside of NoBots , no drain bonus's, predictable

rare intensive. Could use a beefy capital ship.

low defence characters , high energy costs overall.

poor weapons, few Kizen.

no drain enhancement, mediocre small vehicles, Good cards that saydismiss unit, cpaitals suck for the most part, mediocre small ships when outof place

stats well they SUCK, trumped is something we all hate especiallygongen, drains oh the drains and well everything else is vanilla
