Broderick And Ba'ar

OK, so this is the series of decks I've made for Warhammer Conquest, in preparation for a big Thanksgiving weekend series. I built nine decks over the course of under a week, and then did revisions on a few decks as new cards arrived and new ideas gained exposure. 

All of which to say: if some things aren't successful, well, this is definitely a work in progress!

We'll start with the start over. Broderick Worr was the first Conquest deck I made and it was just a thematic pull; everyone hates Worr, so the army he gets is conscripts and Orks who don't care who they fight for. Surprisingly, it worked! At least it was fun to play. 

While revising this deck, a card jumped out at me that I had not noticed before, Inquisitoral Fortress. 

What I didn't notice until the last game I played (this time against Broderick) was that any army unit that retreats is destroyed, not just my own. So forcing an opponent's unit home could give me a numbers advantage at an important time, and make retreating a poor choice for them.

Next up was Ba'ar Zul the Hate-Bound. This was the second deck I ever built, but hoboy when I did some comparisons to what other people had done, I saw that I had effectively misbuilt the entire deck. Plus, there were a bunch of new cards for me to incorporate.

One deck that I saw had something on the order of 35 army units, which is overwhelming. I'm not sure how they play that many cards out but it certainly gave me something to think about. I did revamp it to become a bit more tribal and trying to synergize better with what Zul does.
