Has anybody actually devised a deck type with the cards they've gotten
yet? If you don't know what I'm talking about, for everybody that's
played M:TG, I mean like a direct damage deck, or a creature deck.

I was building a Trash & Tramps deck from the female cards, but that
got pulled apart as I've been collecting a complete set (one of each
card) and putting that into a binder.

Right now I'm playing mages, riggers and fighters
(sammies/mercs/gangers). The game's new enough that I'm still learning
how certain combinations and cards really work.

Tonight, I used a deck with only ork heavy hitters and elf
mage/shamans for runners. It was okay but I took some major hits from
the other runner teams. The jury is still out on this deck's
effectiveness.

I have yet to use the chipjacks or skillsofts. I have left them out
to save room for other cards. Anyone have an opinion on them? Are they
a big boost or not worth it?

I did reach the conclusion that having a lot of special cards in
your deck is a very good thing. We had one series tonight where a
number of Luck of the Irish, Deja Vu, and Loaded Dice cards were all
used to try to counteract each other. I think 7 in all were used. It
was pretty funny.

Okay, got a question for all you out there who play the game. I've just
been a collector due to the lack of interest in my area, but recently, a
few people who've I've met decided to pick up a starter and see about
playing. I have a shload of commons and uncommons from 2 booster boxes
and lots of individual packs, all sorted and such, but I have no ideas
for any good semi theme decks. Anybody have some good common or
uncommon/common decks that they could post so I can see about putting a
few together so we can possibly play?
