Building decks for MC

[ooryl2]

Hi :)

My family and I did our first MC run the other night and we found out that we really needed to change up our decks. We're planning on a Priest, Rogue, and Hunter, mostly using cards from HoA/TDP and Ony/MC treasures, with a few later cards in the Rogue/Hunter deck for interrupts. Problem is I'm having a hard time narrowing the decks down to 60 cards. There's just too many things to put in, I don't know what to leave out. I was hoping for some help with that :)

For the Priest, managed to get it down to 66 cards, from an initial 93. We could run with the 66, but would prefer to get it down to 60. Here is what we have for that deck:

Hero (1)
1x Boris Brightbeard

4x Flash Heal
2x Greater Heal

1x Spiritual Healing

Any thoughts or suggestions on where to cut down on the decks? Thanks :D

Not raided a massive amount, so take this as a guide line rather than a guaranteed success story :p

Cutting down the 1x's and high costers will save you a few cards, like for example in the rogue deck you've got 1 magni - expensive and a single... so chances of drawing him are low, but then if you do, chances of using him? slim probs.

With the priest, maybe drop freya, as Kath is doing mass healing, plus you've got enough healing cards if you need to supplement. Maybe drop touch of chaos, i'd think you'd be more interested in healing that drawing equipment. maybe drop a couple of edward the odds, its more of a nicety imo.

hunter again maybe bin those high cost allys, jaina and magni. Try to think about how the deck actually works when you play, see what cards you are using more than others, with 85 there should be some that you might draw but never really use.. can't really name any as I don't know your playing style :) Same can be said with the Rogue deck tbh.

Not sure that will help that much, but my 2c :p as I said, not pld in ages, so could be massively out of date!

Cheers
