Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before, I've not been keeping up with these boards. I've just picked up the Skavenblight expansion and the bundle of neutrals in there made me wonder about how a deck's ten neutrals are allocated. In the base game each player is dealt ten from the starting 24 and all 24 are suitable for any race. As we accumulate more expansions the neutrals deck grows and includes cards restricted to Order or Destruction.
Do we still deal ten randoms from the deck? As the neutrals supply grows, certain desirable cards become harder to get from a deal of ten randoms. Not an issue in itself perhaps but that mechanic leads to certain players not wanting certain cards in their collection. As we expand the game to include more Order/Destruction specific neutrals, faction-specific neutrals may be dealt to the wrong faction. Do we perhaps choose ten neutrals in the expanded game in teh same way that we build the rest of the deck?
One last related one - am I right in thinking that a game can be played between players with different-sized decks? Should both players agree an 80-card game or 50-card game etc? Or is there an offset in advantage somewhere that I'm missing? Also - Shouldn't larger decks include more neutrals to retain game balance?
Cheers
