Hi, I'm new. Technically, I've had an account for years, but I haven't posted much, nor have I gotten that much into building decks before.
So, I wanted to try focusing on the command struggle. Eldar and Tau seem to be best for this. Eldar have the best warlord, but the Tau have better loyal cards (recon drone, deception). I went with Tau/Eldar for now, but this might work better with the Eldar warlord. Really, this deck concept is waiting for a different Tau warlord that isn't out yet. The one previewed for the Warlord cycle does seem a slightly better fit for this, but oh well. I should also come up with an Eldar version of this as well, but then the Tau lose some of their luster, and I might choose Dark Eldar as allies instead. Not sure about that.
I'm less interested in micromanaging this specific deck than I am about how well the concept of building for resource denial works.
