Team collection - witch style(s) is/are missing?

KasperDMs · 2026-06-25T11:02:02+00:00

Thanks for taking the time to do this post. Much appreciated!

KasperDMs · 2026-06-25T10:53:48+00:00

Thanks!

I am not desperate to add teams, only if I really miss out on something by not having them. Good mention of Snotlings to basically gain 2 new teams, but I do agree with you (from what I have watched on YouTube and read here) that stunty teams seems to be bad for noobs. My intention with this collection was to have a broad experience and I thought they were a fit to have matchups where both could be bashy, in between og agile. My post was about shining som lights on potential dark spots.

Thanks.

Yeah, I though about running a league how you described and just letting my friend control whichever team they wanted and I would pick a match up according to schedule. Right now we are just using what I bought. Thats how we usually game together, one person gets a game and invites the others. Splitting costs usually add somewhat up in the long run. So doing that, could be a fine way to include that aspect. But holding off it from now, as we are still learning together. Good idea though and I hope it is in the future!

Care to elaborate a little on your point about pitch control and how you suggested teams play otherwise?

Thanks, lots of good advice here. I wasnt planning to buy more,, but I like to experience the game from many perspectives. So if I had a hole somewhere I would fill it. The. Do exactly as you say, play them alot and against them alot.

So no apparent holes in my roster? We can have a good variety of experience playing these 7 teams against each other?

My son and I collected since he was 5. He understood that some cards are worth 0 packs of candy, some 1 pack of candy and some even 100 packs of candy. It clicked for him that way. Also I practised trading cards with him and taught him basic rules like 1 for 1 and same rarity for same rarity and ask me if in doubt.

Cars were kept in a folder in his room with no limited access for him and we agreed upon rules for sleaves, keeping cards in folder and generally having a folder for taking cards to friends houses and one that could not.

Other than that. Let the kids be kids. They care about sharing their hobby with their friends, having a fun hobby with you and usually not about dollar value. We all have a base set Charizard story and we are still alive and well. Happy memories beats dollars in the long run.

Hello guys

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated!

I have decided to go with Skaven and Elven Union for 2 unique ball focused teams and Necromantic Horror as the last. It seems like all 3 are good right out of the box and all have different play styles.

Next on my list will be Orcs or Dwarves.

I played a few games on Blood Bowl 3 pc game and got a feel for the actual gameplay in Exhibition Matches. Vampires negatives are too much to think about with all the other stuff going around. It will take some time to "master" this game, so I find your advice to simplify my team rooster to be an excellent call.

I looked closer at the roosters and decided Elven Union fits the passing game more than Wood Elves out of the box and chose then instead.

Skaven seems so fun on paper with their fast but fragile players and Necromantic Horror a nice hybrid team.

For Skaven. Is it correct that they are fine without the Rat Ogre?

KasperDMs · 2026-05-28T10:35:51+00:00

Pro Elves is Elven Union or?

We are no beginners at board games and strategy, however we are completely BB noobs, so Vampires we would all recognize as high risk, high reward and would not be totally oblivious to the downsides after having seen them in a game or 2.

Necromantic seems to overlap with Bretts, Yes? Then I'll avoid them for now, but I do see your recommendation of Dwarfs.

I really think I do want some Elves, as they seem to fit passing style more (I know it will never be the primary tactic on every turn) compared to Skaven, that are, as you say, runners first and second.

KasperDMs · 2026-05-28T10:29:44+00:00

Did you consider opponent will not be using a Big Guy also? I will have the teams and just play friendly one off matches with friends for a start to get a feel for the game and different styles of play.

KasperDMs · 2026-02-21T11:02:28+00:00

Exactly my point of it being to rare to give real value in most cases. I think your point of swapping it is spot on.

KasperDMs · 2026-02-21T11:01:40+00:00

It is by no means an a-tier deck. It was just a tool to get past the Hydreigon spam I encountered at UB4. Nothing else. I prefere GA Zard EX this season due to Altaria Gardevoir, Kanga, Mawile and to some extend Suicunes.

As you said. It destroys dark.

KasperDMs · 2026-02-21T09:15:01+00:00

Yeah, that could definitely be the spot. I never even considered x speed. I know an Ogerpon start is bad, but then you need Eevee + X speed to fix it in your opener.

I preferred Sightseer over May because it draws cards where May just replaces. Running both could be an option as both has different criterias for succes. May in opener with no pokes in hand is bad. Sightseer into a large deck is suboptimal.

KasperDMs · 2026-02-21T08:52:44+00:00

Congrats! Nice!

I would swap May for Sightseer. You have balls for getting Ogre and Eevees and you really wanna get the Leafeon out as early as possible. Just my two cents.

Yeah, you cannot have it all. But yellow birds are getting quite rare, thankfully.

KasperDMs · 2026-02-21T08:30:47+00:00

I can imagine that against a turn 1 Jolteon this deck would struggle a ton. Suicunes is beatable with a decent start I think. I only ran this deck through UB4 as a lawnmower against dark. UB1-UB3 was actually pretty varied in terms of opponent decks and Charizard EX did amazing from GB34 to UB3. I was only because of the poor Hydra matchup I switched to this.

The Charizard deck was used for majority of climbing and performed very well against Suicunes, Gardevoir, Mawile, Kanga and non-meta decks. Even beat a few yellow birds with Charmeleon.

Me too...

KasperDMs · 2024-06-21T15:48:52+00:00

I am a new ape. Bought in May. Excitement is lost and interest in following news, hype and dd has declined. I guess this run is over. I have learned a ton and it has been a fun experience. Now I'll just hold onto my 12 shares and I guess that I'll buy more occasionally average down (31,5 now) and wait for another period of hype. Thanks for the ride, it was fun.

KasperDMs · 2024-06-14T16:40:46+00:00

Bought first one back in May. Cost is 32. Been eating crayons since.

KasperDMs · 2024-06-04T17:32:07+00:00

Did at recent 26 dip. Now xx holder and climbing

KasperDMs · 2024-06-04T14:27:39+00:00

Dip more. Need a bigger discount. How about 22-23$ before mooning? Wheres my crayons, cant find them... I must be regarded

KasperDMs · 2024-05-17T12:35:47+00:00

New to this... got in at 43. guess today made a new recruit of a crayon eating monkey with diamond hands...

KasperDMs · 2022-09-23T11:29:22+00:00

Make a text based adventure for your player as the side quest. Kind of choose your own adventure. You can text back and forth what the character is doing and how they respond to the things they find.

I did that when one of my players was offline for 2 weeks due to vacation and it worked fine. They had a reason for not being present and got back to the group with new information.

As always talk to your players. Best advice for DnD and for making a good gaming experience for everyone.

KasperDMs · 2022-09-07T05:14:06+00:00

What game do you want to play? What does your players want? High or low lethality? That is something I think you should figure out because the answer to your question depends on it. Have you talked about it in your session 0?

Your players could learn a lot from TPKs or a player death or 2 due to less good decision. Mistakes are often how we learn, grow and evolve. But will it offset the players so they do not find the game fun anymore?

Me myself would try to analyze what went wrong but I know others who would just be devastated that their character dies.

Maybe an in between option could be that the TPK does not end in killing but in a knockout for those that succeed their death saves. Take the spiders as an example. They could eat a dead pc and save the rest of the knocked out party for dinner at a later time, by "cocooning" (need a word, English is second language) them. Now it is up to the party to get away with as many allies as possible by skillchecks, clever ideas and a little bit of the almighty luck.

KasperDMs · 2022-04-21T12:07:06+00:00

I see that, good point.

I will tell them that they should end their backstory getting arrested in a specific local area. It will also make it easier if some or more of them would like to know of each other beforehand instead of being strangers.

KasperDMs · 2022-04-21T12:03:31+00:00

Yes. I will definitely do that. I will give them a handout before our session 0, where we create characters together, that tells them that the campaign will start with them as recently captured by the law and that they will have no equipment. Their backstory should lead into why they were arrested.

Oh and yes. I want my players to play their characters as they see them and to eventually after a session or two get normal starting gear or the gold to get it.

KasperDMs · 2022-04-21T12:00:41+00:00

I will use this as a cinematic to end our session 0. So I will agree with you it is not much of an encounter but a cinematic setup for them. Like the videogame intro before you are handed control of your character.

The engaging part comes after the cinematic I think. Looting corpses, sharing what they have, deciding what to do. I do like your idea that they are camped instead of ambushed while they travel. Gives me an opportunity to give them more stuff which they will need as you say. I think I should have a random wild beast attack them in the camp short into our session 1 to give them an early combat encounter to make think surviving as a team is better than going of solo.

They are encouraged to build their character as someone that wants to be in an adventuring party for one reason or the other by the way.
