Mephysto	Posted - 2006.08.07 20:43:00 - [1] Since no-one's posted one... Liberty Tower Metropolis The Khanid Kingdom Heaven 1x Central Fleet Command 1x Institue of Bureaucracy 1x Hedbergite 2x Hemorphite 1x Reflection Of Time 1x Sansha Scout Outpost 1x Scordite 3x Tourist Resort 4x Veldspar 3x Adaster's Disaster 2x Crooked Accomplice 3x Day Of Retribution 2x Guerilla Warfare (under consideration for replacement) 1x Martial Law 2x Mind Control 1x Mutiny (under consideration for replacement) 1x Remnant of Vak'Atioth 2x Slave Dog Stowaways 1x The Vicious Cycle 1x Bellicose 3x Burst 1x Cyclone 2x Probe 2x Reaper (sometimes you just have to mine...) 2x Rifter 3x Slasher 2x Stabber 1x Tempest 1x Typhoon (cos kamikaze'ing a starbase is soooo fun ) 2x Vigil So there we go. As you can see, alot of low cost stuff with just enough news and the like to keep me alive long enough to get a big ship if I need it. Normally I end up with a frigate swarm going against the other starbase pretty early on.

Malthros Zenobia Caldari Independent Navy Reserve Kimotoro Directive	Posted - 2006.08.07 21:22:00 - [3] You fly a deck made to kamikaze a base without any means of stopping it. You evil man.

Trak Cranker	Posted - 2006.08.08 08:50:00 - [5] Building a Minmatar deck myself atm - but an opponent is some days away. So while I have time to improve: Meph, do you care to speculate on having less variation in that deck - if it was in your process or not at some point? How do you think a card/cards like War Tattoos would work in that deck?

EvilNate Caldari Beyond Divinity Inc	Posted - 2006.08.08 09:52:00 - [7] Would it not be better to be able to play more news cards that allow you to pull a cards from the scrap heap, with kamakazie, I thought that would be really helpful. "Whaaa!! You die!!" "Yeah, so do you!!" "And I play this card which lets me get my card back from teh scrapheap" "oh crap..." -------- www.bydi.org

Costs 1 to put out, if you have a scout on hand you can deploy and control that from round 1. Senior Producer EVE Online

So while I have time to improve: Meph, do you care to speculate on having less variation in that deck - if it was in your process or not at some point? How do you think a card/cards like War Tattoos would work in that deck? Actually, when building a deck, I normally start by taking every card I want, then removing things down to a reasonable number. Then I'll play a few games with the expanded deck, and remove from it those things I dont find useful or fit in with the way the deck ends up playing. Not very scientific I'll admit . As for cards to retrieve ships from the scrap heap, I'm still considering it. May switch to Sansha's Nation as Oveur suggests, or I may go for a couple of Salvage Drones news cards. Needs thought.

That's how I make all my tournament decks I'm a little worried as to how to counter this. I'm writing an article on dealing with kamikaze decks... but I hadn't really thought about kamikaze battleships

Ishana Minmatar Millennium E.R.A	Posted - 2006.08.09 13:21:00 - [15] Edited by: Ishana on 09/08/2006 13:21:32 I have to say that this would be a very hard tactic to beat... 1v1 Maybe even imballanced? In multiplayer games though it wouldn;t stand a chance since you would be able to kill one player and then get zerged by the other player(s), since you don't have any ships left. My first minmatar deck is made for 4 player games, and uses the ambush ability. (just need to test it ) _________________________________________________________

Trak Cranker	Posted - 2006.08.09 14:38:00 - [17] Edited by: Trak Cranker on 09/08/2006 14:39:37 I don't trust that it is so effective until I have seen it in play. You won't kill a starbase with dead ships. And I am pretty sure the kamikaze effect is written as only to be applicable to ships? Dont have the cards here though. I can't see you coming out on top that way. But I might be missing something?

Liisa	Posted - 2006.08.09 22:22:00 - [19] Kamikaze allows you to target any structure or starbase in the region the ship is in. So yes, you can hit the starbase. I think that minmatar have a good chance in multiplayer decks as well. I would sub in 2 carcals for their ambush value of 8 and keep a strong defensive fleet of high ambush ships while using my kamikaze for attack purposes. With a few cards that allow you to get ships back from the scrapheap, you can deal "finishing blows" to an opponent when they are weakened. Of course, if you're ground zero for everyone else's attacks, you are normally screwed in multiplayer games. You will probably just be slowly ground down to nothing as minmatar. ---------------------------------- I am free \o/ Sadly your sig is also slightly above the required limits of 400 x 120, total size not exceeding 24000 kbs - Cortes

Paul Castrin Gallente Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2006.08.14 05:49:00 - [21] I was told it was a Minmatar deck that won the tourny. This is un-official of course. It was a EVE con staffer but no idea who it was name wise (didn't look).

Testy Mctest	Posted - 2006.08.14 07:00:00 - [23] That wouldnt surprise me. Minmatar are the easiest deck to win with/hardest deck to stop until you have the right cards and the right deck. Minmatar can do it all mostly with commons. Scrapheap Challenge!
