Subject: 4 Horsemen Deck
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 1999 15:10:40 -0800
I don't remember if it was Tony, Matt, or someone else (I think it was
Tony's....) but someone had a deck they called something along the lines of
"The 4 Horsemen"...I'd really like to see that posted, because I plan to
play a deck which I believe is similar to that in content.

Thanks,
J

PS - I still want to see Gabe's "Mother May I" deck as well....I think
that could be very useful for some of the games I play in...

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse deck was one of mine. The earliest
version of it is posted on my web site. It went through a number of
revisions since the posted "alpha" version.

I will try to get the latest version of the deck posted onto my web page
in the near future.

There are some things to keep in mind when using the deck though.
The deck gets its name from the 4 Skwraaaaaark!'s in it. They are in
the deck mostly as a diversion and for some muscle to pound through some
challenges. Get your opponents worried about the big bad
Skwraaaaaark!'s and use your Macabre's, Drake's, Ajax's and Hatchetman's
to sleaze the challenges.
It is a really expensive deck to use, so make sure you get your rockers
out quickly.
It suffered from serious runner death at the SRCard at Gen Con last
year. I got out a grand total of 5 runners in 3 games. It was brutal.


The 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse (73+9 Deck)

Runners (22)
Skwraaaaaark! x 4
Lord Torgo (His skills are just too much to pass up.)
Hatchetman x 2
Drake x 2
Macabre x 2
Ajax x 2
Tempest
Ice Queen
Caesar
Ripper
Glitz
Thrash x 4

Gear (14)
Dermal Plating x 4
Hand Razors x 4
Muscle Replacement x 2
Katana x 2
Maglock Passkey
Lucky Wabbit's Foot

Challenges (20)
Maglocks x 3
Highway Showdown x 2
Nets x 2
Mine Field x 2
Mage Strike Force x 3
Guardian Dracoform
Yakuza Assassin
Incubus
Killer Drone
Heavy Sentry Gun
Fusion Gate
Booby Trap
Time Delayed Bomb

Contacts (4)
Mr. Johnson x 2
Squatter
Elven Hitman
(Lone Star Snitch is added sometimes as an extra.)

Locations (4)
Dante's Inferno
Iron Lung
Chop Shop x 2

Specials (9)
Luck of the Irish x 4
Riots x 2
Wanted
Nerps!
Skills to Pay the Bills

Objectives (6+3)
Sucker Run x 2
King of the Hill
Dragon Hunt
Impossible Mission x 2
Room 5B78
Dunkelzahn's Black Book


This was the latest version I was playing with and I usually swap out
about 4-5 challenges each time I use it. The Objectives change every
now and then also. I don't use Wake the Dead or other morphing
objectives because the bore me to death.

<Snip card info. which I will print out later ;)

I've got the 4 Skwaaaaaark! thing happenin' right now (I opened the pack
that contained the golden fourth one today...Woo Hoo!) but I was thinking
about taking a different approach:

Runners:

Skwaaaaaark! x 4
Thrash x 4
Glitz x 4
Ice Queen x 1

Gear:

Hand Razors x 4
Bulldog Van x 2
Heavy Armor (Full) x 2
Dermal Plating x 4
(un)Lucky Wabbit's Foot x 2
Maglock Passkey x 1

Specials / Stingers:

LOTI x 4
Poor Craftmanship x 2

Contacts:

Shady Manager x 2
Troll Bouncer x 2

Challenges:

Assorted...Haven't decided yet x 28


I put in the Armor and BVs, as well as the LWF for Thrash (in order to
utilize the benefits of a LWF....) Recon from Ice Queen, and in case of a
Lone Star Beat Cops, send two Glitzes on a run.

Even if I only get two Skwaaaaaark!s out, that's still a monster running
team. The biggest weakness, in my opinion, is the dependency on the
Skwaaaaaark!s. However, given that almost half of the deck is Challenges,
and the deck is fairly small (what, only 66 cards?) I should be able to
cycle through fairly quickly.

Tony,
I'm glad to see a muscle deck with no morphing objectives it does my tired old
heart good...I wish I had played against this one at GenCon but I think we
missed due to my losses at the SRCard tourney...I'm old forgive me if I forget
last year already
