Re:First deck ideas? - 2007/10/07 06:13I'm not a fan of Veldspar. It's cheap, sure, but aside from that it doesn't do enough. Consider Echoes of Gloom Bay. or Tourist Resort, or Interstellar trade post. If either of the last two earn you even 2 extra ISK, they've outshown Veldspar for the game. Echoes of Gloom Bay can net you a card or two, making it especially handy late-game when all you want is that extra ship/news/whatever, and don't care about losing 1 ISK a turn.
Badger... not my favorite. In some decks, the Badger team can make for a score of ISK in a turn, but those decks lean on mining an outer region (usually with Arkonor). I'd rather have something that can hit my opponent over the head in a pinch.
Don't worry about the news mix-up. I've been playing for quite a while and I still sometimes smack my head and realize the card that's been in my deck for several games isn't actually legal.
