That has at least been the beauty of it so far...short of maybe gregdorf, project suns, and avarice....there aren't any others that have figured it out yet! In due time though... so I'll milk if for all its worth!

We have a 30ss tourney coming up soon at my LGS. I am thinking of throwing a crew of Viks Misaki Taelor Ronin Ronin or Gunslinger? 5ss The list isn't really the point here though....I have an option of throwing out 4 strategies that I would not want to randomly draw...Any suggestion on terrible Strats for the Vikkis to have to do? How about some good Schemes? I might point out the Guild is a big part of my shop, if that helps..

I might go ahead and tack in that our shop is relatively new to Malifaux in general. Now, what that means to me, is that if you are already having to deal with rules issues and look ups, we really don't need to be questioning the legitamacy of a deck. I'm not one that wants to think that people would cheat in a tourney, but it happens. Even if they are not, but can we really afford to have to constantly ask what a card is or whatever because it is slightly more difficult to read. Maybe when our store as a whole is more familiar with the game, we can have Puppet Decks, Regular Decks, cleverly drawn things resembling decks for tournament play...but until then...I think we should just keep it simple.

I, for one, have to say that there are a lot of issues that I have with these as well. It would be really easy, with fast flipping, to declare things that don't necessarily work out. As you have mentioned already, the cards are very hard to read at a distance. I would hope the player would be an honest one, but let's face it, that's not always the case. In the end, I would always lean away from use of the Puppet Deck.
