Dwarf Deck
"When a boss blind is defeated, gain 3 planet cards correlating to your most played hand (regardless of room.) -1 handsize."

[magic garnet]

Better naming is just giving a negative version, though could be a bit too good as for economy

[acoustic inlet]

I wanted to avoid the +2-3$ you get per negative sold thu

Tbh

[sand wedge]

rock and stone

[old bone]

I think this would instantly be my least favorite deck

-1 hand size is awful

[acoustic inlet]

The fact you get a huge boost to levels every ante would outweigh it IMO

[cedar mesa]

Then that’s just HC/Pair bait

[acoustic inlet]

Only if you let it be, it doesn't disadvantage other hands nearly that bad

I wanted the downside to be -1 consumable slots but idk how that'd pan out

[winged folio]

yeah but it's much harder to play stuff that isnt hc/pair if you have 1 less handsize

[timber marten]

Look at me I'm stone rock

Consistency vs quality of hands

[timber marten]

FOR KARL

[acoustic inlet]

I agree with the whole "-1 handsize makes big hands more inconsistent" but at the gain of basically a level per blind, it's like a permanent blue seal

[acoustic inlet]

This will almost always make big hands worth playing even if you get one less played per round

[acoustic inlet]

A blue seal that specifically targets whatever you play most, not just your final hand (arguably better)

[winged folio]

It kinda just depends on how hard the -1 hand size affects your early game, because if it makes you play 1 5 card hand and then 3 garbage hands, you get foiled

I think I’m liking this idea if the downside was different

[acoustic inlet]

^^^^

[winged folio]

i like that more but then its just an alt nebula deck

[acoustic inlet]

Which is why I changed it lol

I like the idea of gaining immediate power for doing well

I just dunno what would work well with that

Maybe smth meant to make pivoting harder

[fathom chasm]

observatory useful without perkeo??? unbelievable

[old bone]

Not really since you’ll have to use hands as discards

Your big hands will likely be less played than your HC and pairs

Thus only giving you more HC and pair planets

[acoustic inlet]

You still need to survive ante 1, and when blue stake is changed you'll almost always have equal or higher hands than HC or Pair. You can usually beat the first two blinds without needing to use a single hand as a discard hand
