Tentacle Deck
« on: September 19, 2009, 08:05:14 AM »
Has anyone ever made a Tentacle deck using the Ages End cards?
I want to, but I'm wondering if its even worth trading for the cards to do so.

I know it certainly wouldn't be spectacular, but it might fun. Right?

I have a friend that played all 4 tentacles and 4 copies of the watcher in the water.  It worked amazingly well.  In consisted of 4 copies of the 4 tentacles and 4 watchers.  The rest of the deck was made of of dark places and foul things.  It was one of the hardest decks I ever faced.  If you have the stuff to build it, you should.

I'm sure it had four copies of Evil-Smelling Fens too!

That is not a must, it depends. The new Watcher makes sites march and there are some march sites in the newer sites. The deck is quite simple, and it makes you ditch your hand so you cycle a lot. Inititative losing decks could do well with it I assume. You only have to keep the Watcher, the rest will return.

Good point.  I still think it would be a good idea, the old watcher makes tentacles stronger, right?  And if you get ahead on the site path, you won't be using your own sites.  But the initiative idea is a good suggestion.

No but the new Watcher makes the sitepath gain marsh, so there you go. And the new tentacles have an inbuilt strength-adder so I guess the new one is to prefer over the old version. You could fill the rest with the deck with Gollum culture, control the sites with your good guys and use Led Astray to add twilight and threats when playing Gollum with CbtR.

Maybe try them out with proxies first? Tentacles IMO are like a one-trick pony with relatively little strategizing; not sure how long that might hold interest. But amusing they are, and the AE cards fit in without a hitch. The AE Watcher especially is too good to pass up. It's the one-thingy wonder that can call a swarm on its own and allow tentacles to stick.

I don't even have any AE, and I still use them. Not very successfully, mind you, but the creature was just to cool to pass up.
Oh, and happy 999th post, ES.
