!Nos Big Caps Combat Toolbox

I love the original deck! Simple, lean and clear cut, but some modifications I would imply:

-Smiling - you simply don't have the time for that and just generates the table hate (which you'll get anyway with this deck, sooner rather than later).

-3 sense the savage way - no serious reason to untap, just to deflect, and it stucks in your hand. Maybe 2 Slam would be useful.

-2 monsters should stay, in my opinion. Yeah, costly, but definitely worth it! If you decide against them, than it shold be Conditionings.

-I'm still considering it, but nowadays I'm thinking seriously using some (2-4) street creds in this type of decks. Not expected, and saves the bloating action (and if this deck hits, then it hits way more that the opposing one). I would add 2, (sub the smiling and a sense).

I also feel it pretty slow having to bring out multiple fatties without acceleration and forward motion consisting of bleeds for 2 or the occasional Fame dunk.
sate for small Crows.

Well there is 4x Dreams, Nosferatu Kingdom and the special from Tarbaby. So not a whole LOT of acceleration but also not none. I am considering dropping the two Monster against an Info Highway and Pentex. Or go with 2x Wash.

I wouldn't add Wash. It is too prayerish against Pentex and will just stay in your hand and make deck flow worse. Carlton and Mylan are ok against Pentex if your metagame has not become more combat happy also. With that kind of crypt I feel you have to just accept to get Pentexed some time.

I would just play more with the deck and see what is important to change. If you feel the deck doesn't flow good enough I would cut it to 80 cards and keep all Dreams. Dreams or Nosferatu Kingdom in starting hand is very good because you are sure to get vampire out in two turns. Another thing to think is add some Conditioning to get some more lunge potential. Cards I would think replacing are 2x Heroic Might, 2x Monster, 2x Fists of Death, 1x Smiling Jack, The Anarch.

i like all deck, very good. only i change 2 monster and anarch by 1 info highway, a carver and Mark V for Cailen.

Carver's / Scourge ?
Pentex is a strong choice .
Uncoiling is fun too
