Samurai deck

[Mr Kangaroo]

I have played a few games using the Samurai deck with little sucecess am i using the deck incorrectly? If so would some one please be willing to help me learn the best way to use the samurai deck to its fullest . ( both times i played with the samurai deck it was against the computer A.I in the main solo campaign )

Firstly you need to have pretty much all the cards in that deck unlocked for that deck to be any good. Some auto includes: Jitte, Swords of "something & something", all the steelshapers gifts and lightning helixes, Hound of Konda, samurai ladies (Fumiko & Masako) and finaly the Stonehewer Giant. Add some cheap critters to cary the Jitte and exclude gimmicky creatures like gets +1/+1 or firstrike if something happens and surely gets targeted by removal.

You want to be playing cheap cretures and not some removal magnets (though Fumiko, Masako and Giant are just that, but they are exeptions). Your first order of business should almost allways be getting Jitte and a creature to use it to the field as soon as possible and it should be smooth sailing from there on out.

thanks for the help i have all the cards unlocked but i have yet to edit the deck to any extent just been playing with it as it is

Oh? Hope you have at least edited the deck to 60 cards? If you play with 100 card deck theres no amount of skill/knowledge/good fortune to win you the games.

And I almos forgot, you might want to add Palefire Liege and Yoshei to your deck ;)

You don't need to edit it to 60... my samurai deck is 68 cards and does well. :/

Against AI or human players?

Generally speaking, the more cards you go above 60 in a deck, the lesser your chances of actually drawing a particular card since the basic rule remains that you can only have maximum 4 copies of any card in a deck.

Yea you absolutely need to. I don´t want to tell anyone how they should run their decks and in some cases having more than 60 cards might be advantageous, maybe some weird exploration-Mul Daya build with tons of lands, but samurais depend on pretty consistent draws, so it should not be loaded with unnecessary bulk.

I've edited all my decks to 60/ Sometimes it's difficult because you like certain cards and you want them in your deck, but padding it for 1 combo that requires 2 specific cards and have no benefit by themselves should be omitted, this is a deck builder's tip. It made editing easier.
