What is Deckbuilding?
Deckbuilding can be the
most exciting and challenging part of trading card games. Building
a new deck allows you to experiment with new strategies and themes that
may not be available in the Xena starter decks.
Deck Examples
The decks listed below are just suggested 40-card
decks, they can be modified to your preference. For example, I don't
like to use cards that require me to discard from my own deck. Also,
I only play with decks that follow rules created by my friends and I
to keep the games competitive. We set a number of Common, Uncommon, Rare
and Resource cards to be followed when building our 40-card decks:
17 - Resources
16 - Commons
5 - Uncommons
2 - Rares
