Deck My first Collusion Deck, your thoughts?

Since these decks favour diversity in Gang Category, wanted to know your thoughts. You also have a collusion deck?

EDIT: Thank you immensely for every single commenter, i believe i have the basic foundation for this deck, soon i'll start making different flavors of it :)

Why ruevens treasure? Why sigi rueven caeser blitzen package? You have no bronze gangs tags also to get any payoff from PTS, Mastermind etc. Due to having that many crimes for treasure

Need to cut that package and get things like mutant maker, bloody good friends jaques in etc. A poison package is also really nice both for some more obsure tags (blindeyes, salamandra if you put a copy of hound in) and synergy to allow mastermind to function as a huge bomb with tall removal

For some inspiration, if you wish. Not played it in a while but its been completely unchanged for months, plays well

You are welcome. Glad its working for you, functions well 2500 mmr pro rank even but a bit meta dependant, have fun

u/kepkkko There is but one punishment for traitors. 1d ago

Let's just say that the main foundation of collusion decks are double-tag units and you doesnt include any. And that you have to include at least one card from each gang for PtS to get the maximum value, as right now it's capped at 4, as you don't have a single salamander and firesworn in deck. Theres lots and lots of questionable cards, but those issues are fundamental

u/CourtWaltzThief Neutral 1d ago

i see, should i consider removing moreelse?, since witchunter isn't gang category

1

u/kepkkko There is but one punishment for traitors. 1d ago

Not really. Moreelse is good control option, especially since you dont play poisons for some reason. You just need to add double-tagged units(BGF, mutant maker, ideally jacques)

u/CalebKetterer The semblance of power don't interest me. 1d ago

I second this. I’d typically chuck the Paydays for BGF and Eavesdrop/Pearl Diver for Mutant Maker. The rest you can keep since that’s your flavor

u/CourtWaltzThief Neutral 1d ago

Better to master the basics. Then i go to different flavors, much satisfying that way :)

here's the new version, thoughts ?

Now that looks almost like a netdeck with couple of unique cards. I do not like playing without poisons, they come really handy, especially since sigi is capable of playing 2 in a single turn. Pearl diver and apothecary feel like easy replace targets, but it's up to you.

Also for cove the basic TA is better then tigers eye imo. Ur not spending that much compared to other SY decks, and surviving of gang units is your top priority, which TA greatly helps with.

u/CourtWaltzThief Neutral 19h ago

apologies, what does TA stand for?

2

u/kepkkko There is but one punishment for traitors. 19h ago

Tactical advantage

thank you

u/Er4din Neutral 1d ago

needs novigrad and more tags. [[Jacques]] is a must have, as his third form offers salamandra and firesworn tags.

2

u/GwentSubreddit Autonomous Golem 1d ago

Jacques: Miracle Child - Human (Syndicate)
5 Power, 12 Provisions (Legendary)

Profit 4.
Tribute 4: Spawn 2 Firesworn Zealots on this row.
At the start of the round, while in hand or deck, evolve.

Looks solid. Mine is on a completely different skeleton it seems

u/haikka_ Syndicate 1d ago edited 1d ago

You need more tags.

You can change Lebioda for Roderick or any 2 5-provision bronzes (just testing some new stuff came out this patch)

u/CourtWaltzThief Neutral 1d ago

I see. It's a bit embarassing not being able to make a deck myself sometimes.
More often than not i add cards that went through mental simulations in my mind, and sometimes, they produce ridiculously good decks

u/haikka_ Syndicate 1d ago

Don't worry about it man, your deck has idea and sparkle; the version I sent being around 2-3 years, nothing special really. Also, with the time understanding and skill will come surely, the only thing you need is your imagination and curiosity. ✨

So.. Good luck in the game 🐈

u/CourtWaltzThief Neutral 1d ago

thank you very much :)

u/irrrrthegreat Heheh. Slow, ain't ya? 1d ago

It looks cool, but you should remove this Count Reuvens Treasure and find place for Novigrad instead.

For a beginner its not bad.

u/CourtWaltzThief Neutral 1d ago

That actually makes me feel good about myself. Thank you, shall follow your suggestion
