Note

The 2001 World Championships were played with 50 card decks, instead of the now-standard 60 card decks for tournaments. However, this deck is valid for non-tournament play.

How to Play

The deck relies on quick and inexpensive ships to come out super-fast and overwelm the opponent before he has a chance to build up a strong defense, or mount a stronger offense. The deck runs 12 small ships, and boosts them with 9 non-unique leaders that can pump up the guns of the ships. The tactical cards help the ships survive and keep the defender on his toes. The fate cards include multiple copies of Concentrated Effort to get a quick ramp-up of resources.
