NOTES:

The Barbed Wire Project  (BWP)

 

When barbed wire was first introduced to the west, one of the sales pitches was, "Cheap as dirt and strong as whiskey." The idea behind the BWP is to create a series of decks that are as cheap as dirt (using commons and uncommons) but strong enough to hold up to a table with more expensive decks, in order for new players to use. Sure, starter decks are great, but they not free (usually), and for new players who are reserved about spending money or have little cash, this could be a nice way to get them more interested in the game.

 

Submit your deck ideas for the barbed wire project in the Deck Archive and title the subject with Barbed Wire Project (or BWP).

 

Errata Note:

Replace Wake with Evening?s Freshness upon your next untap phase.

Concealed Weapon does not require obfuscate

Hidden Lurker is an action modfier. It can not be blocked. 

Powerbase Washington DC: You may remove 2 pool a turn instead of 1.

Masika may untap during any player?s untap phase.

Dancing Dana/Elliott Sinclair: Now read as +1 Strength, not 2-Hand Damage.

 

Strategy Note:

Telepathic Misdirection: Note that you will want to play these to maximum effect. Try to attempt to block with a minion first, wait to see if your opponents stealths it, then declare you have no block and see if your opponent increases the bleed. You can then play Wake With Evening?s Freshness and misdirect.

 

This deck is a wall deck. It is happiest when it stays put and collects its pool from it?s powerbases. If you haven?t played a wall deck before then you might have trouble the first few times you play it because you want to attack your prey at lot. This deck tends to leave its prey alone in the early game and waits for the right times to strike.  Don?t forget that +1 strength stacks with weapon damage. If you are?t going to do anything with Masika during your turn at least have him hunt since will untap as soon as your prey starts his turn.
