Deck Changes So Far

Based off of feedback from the discord and games played. These are the changes I have made so far. Mostly making it more likely to kill approach characters when they disrespect us and walk in front of our fighters (the absolute nerve).

Decided to finally cut the one-of Collateral Damage even though the Twins can double it. The main reasoning being, we aren’t expecting to have multiple characters stacked up against us often (because murder). [If I do decide to run this list at Gen Con instead of Daniealla: Take No Fair Fights https://www.tomsepicgaming.com/new-daniella-deck-gen-con-contender/ or a new deck I haven’t built yet {or Cesca…}, I will probably shove Collateral Damage back in {although it would take forever to decide what to swap for it}. You’ve been warned.]

-1 Blood Like Winter [currently 1x]
-1 Collateral Damage (THE MEMES, such sadness) [currently 0x]
+1 Relentless [currently 2x]
+1 Justice Served Cold [currently 2x]

Considering trying to jam 1 copy of Matchlock Musket in to have access to another 5-thrust card and another (very expensive) wounding card. I think the cut would have to be one of our two Lodestones to increase our offensive threat distribution.

Standard Reminder of Open Challenges

As always, if you have any interest in getting in any 7th Sea games against me, I am always happy to accept challenges, either on stream or off-stream. Just shoot me a comment on here or a message on Discord. I much prefer scheduling a game then advertising or responding in the Looking for Game channel (because I’m awkward).
