Hehehe, I don't think my employers would like me taking a long time to
design a deck. I didn't really have much choice as the plans were made
at the last second. I think the deck was a cross between my human and
firearms deck, so you if you read my deck postings over the last week
or so, you have seen what is has evolved into.

I know what you are saying. Having a fun time while playing is far more
important, then playing the same deck all the time. Hopefully all the
rares you need to track down, will be reprinted in 2nd edition. If they
are they should be fairly easy to pick up.

If it is doing what I think it is doing, then it probably will still
be able to handle most challenges (unless new categories for challenges
are created). However more likely then not the new cards will only
help add onto the power of the deck.
