Hello everyone. I have had my eye on this game for some time and finally got a chance to play it this last weekend with a friend, and we loved it. So many aspects of it are a refreshing change from MTG, and we are diving in head first!

I recently ordered a case of AoA since it is incredibly cheap just to get some decks. I also found a prerelease pack of WoE and I hope to find more because I think that might be my favorite set from what I have seen. I also really like MM but am having a really hard time finding decks at all and when I do they are pretty overpriced.

While I wait for my new decks to be delivered I had to scratch the itch and find a board gane store locally that had 4 CotA decks for sale so I grabbed one. I was just happy to find a deck as all shops and stores in my city like many others it seems have stopped carrying most keyforge products.

I just cracked my deck and was excited to put it in the vault and also on DoK to see the SAS score. I'm still trying to figure out what all of the statistics mean as I understand the SAS score isn't 100% in determining the strength of a deck. I don't so much care about crazy powered decks but what I would like advice on is how to tell or what to look for to determine if I have a really great deck. I don't want to be sitting on some powerhouse with a low SAS and not know it's actually very sought after. I have looked through this deck and to me it looks fairly strong but again I'm not sure what cards, combos, house combos to keep an eye out for. Any advice in general would be really helpful and any info about this particular deck would be great!

If anyone has suggestions on where to acquire some of the newer sets that haven't been opened and aren't way above market value, that would be great as well. I hope this soft relaunch with Galaxy Games goes well because I'm pretty excited for new sets going forward and would hate to feel like I missed the boat on this game.

Thanks all, and happy forging!
