I have played several good decks, and have beaten them....
You can only win if you know what loosing is. So this deck will teach you well. Ofcourse, you can loose with it, but my experience is that it can win as well....HARD
Mythdracon, you know how I learned to make killer decks? I lost to killer decks. I used to be the worst player in my group, like, people woukd be shocked if I won. Then I joined CC and some other stuff, began playing Bib and Smally and lost badly. But then I built my first
Ithilien Blade/Sauron discard deck. It sucked, but not as bad as my Moria Strength Deck. Took my Moria side, paired it to
IB and dropped the, erm, Goblin Patrol Troops...and went all out swarm, then I built a Dwarf discard side to go with Sauron discard and that's when I started winning.
Moral: Practice make perfect. Try testing out some stuff on SdA.
BTW, kee your eyes peeled, I've got something I'm posting soon, today or tomorrow.
