Hello!
I'm dipping my toes into this game again, having played very casually back in the day. I've realized I have little idea how to build an effective deck. A comment from ket_the_jet, which I appreciated very much, was particularly telling:
'I would say that the deck, overall, looks like a starter deck but with better cards. Companions, possessions, and pumps will help you survive, but you'll be playing site to site based on the value of the cards in your hand.'
Indeed, boosting the strength of companions by any means available is the only way I have known how to play the game, based on my limited experience. I would like to understand strategy and deckbuilding better, especially before jumping into Gemp play, but I need information. I am wondering if there are any deckbuilding resources extant on the Internet. I have looked through the Cobra Cards article series hosted here but didn't find anything on general deckbuilding.
Alternatively, or additionally, is there a solid deck someone would recommend to me to take into Gemp play to learn the ropes? It doesn't need to be simple; I don't mind learning, I just need to know what to learn, if that makes sense. I would prefer to stick to pre-Shadows cards.
Thank you!
