okay fellas as you know im not a major pro or pro in this game if anything, but i do like to have fun with what i play with. I have played Arkham (which i mostly liked because of harley), i have played and still play my Modern age X-Static (loner), and i have recently worked on a Manhunter / Inmates Hand/Deck Control (of course this is Modern DC. but now I want to work on a Golden age deck i can enjoy playing. Im missing a few cards, but for sure for sure i wont be using any Savage Beatdowns, no matter how much people suggest them, they are 1. too much money, and 2. I really dont want to make the pack hunt to try and get them.

so here goes, i hope i can get some help, this deck wont be super duper competative but for sure i will enjoy playing in Tournaments. :D


so here goes.

1:
2x Commissioner Gordon [Lieutenant Gordon]

2:
2x Tim Drake <> Robin [The Boy Wonder]
3x Spoiler [Wildcard]

3:
2x Barbara Gordon <> Batgirl [Guardian of Gotham]
2x Tim Drake <> Robin [Protege]
1x Barbara Gordon <> Oracle [Bird of Prey]

4:
2x Cassandra Cain <> Batgirl [Martial Artist]
2x Huntress [Bird of Prey]
1x Catwoman [Selina Kyle]

5:
2x Catwoman [Cat Burglar]
2x Cassandra Cain <> Batgirl [Student of the Night]
1x Batman [Caped Crusader]

6:
4x D Grayson <> Nightwing [Defender of Bludhaven]

7:
2x Azrael <> Batman
1x Batman [Shadow of the Bat]

8:
1x Superman [Big Blue Boy Scout]

Total = 30

okay for the characters, I was thinking maybe adding some Spoiler <> Robin, Im not too sure though.

Plot Twists
1x Burn Rubber
2x Concrete Jungle
3x Boom Tube
3x From the Shadows
3x Combat Reflexes
4x No Fear
4x Swing Line

I know that for sure i want to add some FLying Kicks and Acrobatic Dodge, i have them just not with me.

Equipment
2x Choping Block
2x Batmobile
1x Utility Belt
1x War Wagon
1x Twin Firearms
1x Titanium Sword

I, want to keep equips because of batgirl 3 drop, but im not sure which to really use, i know that twin is good because +4 or +2 with range which helps practically any character so i can draw cards. but again i feel that there are much better stuff out there that can help me out. :D

Location

2x Gotham City

I know that there are better locations, but i really like this one because it can possibly help me catch my drops or really waste me. i know there are better stuff out there like coast city or avalon space station, but really any help with this could help me out.

again this is so i can enjoy my self like i have with all my other decks.

i wont be going to any PCQ's or Pc's any time soon, but local tourney i really do alot :D
 
haha, i found some really good equips like mystic Chains and Advance hardware :D

i replaced some cards and added some of these. :D
 
If you are going to go for the equipment theme, I would suggest adding in Lucius Fox in place of Commissioner Gordon on 1. Alfred would also be an excellent choice if it is possible for you. Wayne Enterprises is also a good bet. Tech Upgrades are also useful. Likewise, if you are going for this particular theme, you need a total of 4 Barbara Gordon <> Batgirl and not have any of the other versions.

If you remove Commissioner Gordon on 1, I would add a couple on 2. Having a means of removing an opponent's equipment is quite handy, particularly since this card can be searched for by the Bat Signal, of which 4 would be good.

One of the big things I see is overlapping characters on subsequent drops. This could be problematic for you as it may mean you are forced to replace a character immediately, losing some board presence (and in the case of any equipment, the equipment as well.)

Concrete Jungle seems a little out of place in this deck. Its effect is decent, granted, but there doesn't seem to be much to help capitalize on the discard that may or may not be forced (not all decks run locations).

I would switch out Boom Tubes for Burn Rubbers or similar cards that will grant reinforcement. With the current deck setup, you can't really afford to return a character back to your hand. No Fear is also unnecessary as it looks like you are trying to curve your deck, making it a far more situational card than is probably good.

Putting in 3 more Utility Belts and potentially taking out some of the one cost equips would be a good plan as well. You aren't going to have the available resources to recruit many of the one cost equips unless you are falling behind. In particular, Chopping Block is going to be a monster to pull off more than once because that character is not going to be unstunned very often. Similar with War Wagon. Along those lines, I would suggest Dual Sidearms instead of Twin. Saving the resource point to give +2 ATK with range is probably better for you.

That should be enough to start with. Hope it helps.
 
GK equip deck is the first deck I every built for VS. Granted it wasn't perfect because the good cards costed to much at the time. 4 Fizzles and 4 Alfreds are automatic in the deck. Your drops from 6-8 look fine. I would stick with Batman and Lady Shiva for the 5 drop.
