It’s time for another edition of “Slick’s Killer Decks!” Today we’ll be looking at an exceptionally unique (and powerful) deck called “Victory Through Nonexistence.” The last two decks made use of hero cards so I thought it was time to explore the dark side. Is the dark side stronger? Of course it is! Everyone knows that. ;)

Volume 0, Deck 03: “Victory Through Nonexistence”

//// Deck Construction ////////
Deck Type: Villain
Character: “papalorax”

Fight Stack: Nothing!
Draw Stack: Nothing!
Secretly in your pocket: “Fight Klub Doesn’t Exist!” (signature instant)

//// Strategy ////////
Reveal your character card, “paplorax”. Shuffle your opponent’s deck. When your opponent attempts to shuffle your deck you will be disqualified because you don’t have a deck. When this happens, play “Fight Klub Doesn’t Exist!” from your pocket. Because Decipher never got 6000 founding members, they weren’t able to print the game. Thus the game doesn’t really exist and you can’t be disqualified!

“Fight Klub Doesn’t Exist!” leaves your opponent with two options. 1) They can win by acknowledging that you are correct. To do this, they must immediately destroy all the Fight Klub cards in play (both theirs and yours). 2) They can deny your claim by keeping their cards and forfeiting the match to you.

Generally speaking (9 times out of 10) this strategy is a guaranteed win because no one wants to destroy all their hard earned cards. Congratulations!

//// Known Weaknesses ////////
This is a quick-play deck which wins before the first turn. This makes it a great opponent for “masteryoda” decks. Sadly, it can easily be defeated by the “Wampa Beat-Down” (another quick-play deck) as that deck wins without entering the shuffle phase. Also watch out for illogical players who are willing to win at any cost. Not only will you lose, but you’ll be out two cards as well. :(

That concludes this edition of “Slick’s Killer Decks!” Play hard, have fun, and win! See you next time!

oh come on, you could do better than this? no?

I think if you read what I have to say, I come at this with a fairly objective viewpoint. I have never said FK doesn’t exist or that I have no interest in the game. In fact, I am interested in the game. I think they have done a lot right here (selling direct, good distribution model, multiple licenses). But I also see some glaring issues (lack of spoilers, lack of information, high prices, gameplay that isn’t nailed down, tiny to non-existent staff, awful timing with getting people pulled in and having nothing to followup with).

All in all it leads me to believe that there are some major issues holding up the game from advancing to the next step. I can’t believe their plan was to get this far and then allow the excitement of the countdown pass without much fanfare. That simply makes no sense what-so-ever to me. I could be wrong, god knows it wouldn’t be the first time. And like I have always said…if they make a good game that can be played sealed deck, I will buy it.

Except Slick wasn’t trying to bash you with this post. He’s doing a series of these that parody other users’ activity, and I personally find them all hilarious. I wish he’d do one of me!

Slick, could you come up with a Marvolo deck next? I’ve always wanted to try the “Marvolo would be badass” deck.

These decks are just parodies / exaggerations, paplorax. Although I disagree with your view on the game (and find some of your posts to be unfairly negative), I still think it’s a valid and acceptable view. I’ve mentioned that several times. I don’t dislike you or anything like that. I’ve also poked fun at Wampa’s crazy posting and masteryoda’s army of angry Ewoks. ^. I also have plans to make decks based on several other members (myself included).

Personally, this is one of my favorite decks to date; it’s simple, elegant, powerful and hilarious. So anyway, I’m sorry if it bothers you. That’s not my intent at all. I mean, you can beat masteryoda (and most other opponents)! What’s not to love about that?

Man you have NO sense of humor papalorax. I’m not even going to touch the issue of your “objective viewpoint”, but this must be said. Your “glaring issues” are simply one of the most pointless things I have ever seen. First of all the prices are not high. They are dirt cheap when compared to other games. I used to have to pay 2.99 for a 9 card expansion pack of a lot of games. This is 30 for 121. Also due to set size I can collect a set with three kilos easy as opposed to the 3 booster boxes at 60-75 bucks a pop I used to pay for other games. As for all your “lack of” junk it simply doesn’t apply. Decipher meant to, and in my opinion for the most part did, brought in a group of serious gamers that will buy, play, and promote this game. The cream of the crop if you will. They gave us the unique opportunity to get in before things like rules, cards, etc, were finaized. They did this so that we could have the unheard of chance to shape the very game that we would be playing. The stages we are in right now are the stages you previously never would of heard about as they would have kept the games development a secret until they were ready to reveal such things. So in trade off for little patience on our part we are awarded the chance to have a say in the game’s very design. That is a heck of a thing IMHO. So perhaps you should consider taking advantage of this opportunity instead of constantly whining about it. Just my 2 cents…

Making those 2 cents worth 4.

It should be noted that buying a booster box for 60-75 a pop is buying in bulk and SAVING money. It is easily $100 per booster box, especially when you buy packs one at a time.

To dove tail on Wampa’s comment, it’s amazing that such a large community has as much information as we do considering how early a stage we are at. Your average consumer still has no knowledge of this game, and wouldn’t for quite some time. This game has a following several thousand strong and it doesn’t even EXIST yet. Can you imagine how much that will pick up once the preliminary stages are over and this game hit’s the streets!

That’s the point I guess I keep trying to make. This is an OPPORTUNITY not a problem…
