I just thought I'd post this deck to get some feedback. It's a pretty simple design and I can almost make it with the cards I've currently got. I've gone for a no-undead death deck for a few reasons. First the morale bonus is nice. Second, I think devils (assassinate heroes) and cerberi (soften up the melee line) are superior creatures to their counterparts. Third, I have more venom spawn than vampires and I think they're actually comparable creatures. Their phase won't matter with tactics/helm and their higher defence, ranged attack and special ability are all nice.

The heroes are designed to be, optimally:

Death Knight - GM tactics/offence/defence/leadership, master combat (lvl 9)
Lord - Master nobility/estates, GM combat/melee (lvl 8)
Necromancer - Master death magic, master combat (lvl 7)

With all in the main army. Putting melee on the lord gives your opponent two heroes they really want to kill quickly, and by the time they're dead hopefully the necromancer has got a few spells off so your creatures can win the battle. While the knight is alive your creatures have potentially godly defence (max +13), as well as speed, morale, luck, so keep him/her in the back row (I'd give him armor, except the best I have is leather so it's not really worth it. If you have some adamantine or whatever, that's probably a good choice for him). With all these combat skills floating around, you can see why there's a veteran's guild there - to get to lvl 9 otherwise requires almost every artifact and location in the deck to be claimed, and I don't necessarily want to waste creatures on a dwelling. The lord also removes the need for a gold mine and gives great income when leveled up.

Anyway, what do people think? Are my ratios of creatures to non creatures, and low level to high level creatures roughly what other people are doing?
