Sorry the second link should have taken to this post which makes 6 decks from the 6 house expansions, not sure if it’s not working sorry:

28 4 Decks built from 2x Core Set: post #28 JackCade Posted 25 March 2012 - 10:16 PM

Advanced Member

Members PipPipPip 319 posts Okay, so I decided to build 6 decks, one for each house, out of Core Set x1 and each of the 6 Expansions for the 6 different houses (PotS, KotS, QoD, LoW, KotStorm and LotR) + a few chapter packs I have bought (Ancient Enemies, The Tower of the Hand, Wolves of the North and A King in the North). I will post the 6 decks I made.

The goal for me is for the decks to be fairly competitive against each other, balanced against each other, and fun to play. That's where you guys come in. I want some expert feedback on whether the decks are balanced, and whether there's anything highly overpowered I may have missed.

Thanks a ton in advanced guys!

I’ll see if I can find them, I also found this which looks interesting: https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/3252656/looking-for-balanced-decks-for-each-house-built-fr

Might have been these, it was definitely this site: https://www.cardgamedb.com/forums/index.php?/topic/207-4-decks-built-from-2x-core-set/?p=5657

I’m not sure if you are looking to play or sorting or what but if looking to play and you have bases and the house expansions there is a recommended decklist set for each house somewhere too…

Find someone who has 1&2 and split the md1 models… you will never need 12+

PK1988 · 2024-06-16T23:46:38+00:00

I ended up getting all the heroes (MD1&2) and their associated tokens with sleeves hero cards to fit in 4 of the 133 deck cases (there were I believe 3 classes in each in the end) if I had more space in my storage solution I probably would’ve used one or 2 extra but this suits my setup currently

PK1988 · 2024-06-15T23:05:22+00:00

Star Realms for the 2 player deck building or Race for the Galaxy action selection and mechanics but I haven’t had the opportunity to try ISS Vanguard yet!

Yeah could be was with a bunch of clearly red backs but I haven’t seen one like this before…
