Hello everyone-
For my first real deck post, I just wanted to throw out this idea to see if others have tried it with any real success, and if there might be some superficial changes to make before I really go into playtesting this. I obviously need to take out roughly 3-5 cards, but at this point I see a purpose for any and all of them.
The idea of this deck is to make your opponent work for you by stalling your opponent's successes and attacking only critical stories to get a few success tokens yourself, then manipulating tokens or rushing for a win. This deck is theoretically made to factor in heavy destruction decks with cards like Dutch Courage/Jamburg, High Strength with Laban and Peter Clover, and Negotium with cards like Patsy, Obfuscation (to stall while you power through), and characters powered by conspiracies. Nyarly is only there for BS,BT to further stall.
You want to build up to 2-2-1 or 3-1-1 based on your hand, gradually getting up to 4-2-1 only on the turn to play the Hack Journalist in for surprise wins.
