    Hey Kobradin,

    Awesome work! I'm not a big competitive player either but the raid decks are great fun. One raid deck per year is just not enough though. This is an awesome way to revive a whole bunch of cards and have lots of fun doing it.
    We just need UDE to make some FLAG tokens :)

    Re: The Raid Deck Thread! NEW HOMEBUILT RAIDS

    We are using the Warsong Gulch Flags on UDE points cards or I have noticed that the Earthstorm Diamond UDE cards have a flag on the back too.  If you buy booster packs, you should be able to get a set of flags.

    These homegrown raids are fun, scaleable, and very challenging.  Stealth comes into play as a great keyword that helps you get to the flags around the protectors.

    Bump.

    Hey JadefalconAvenger and Rezaziel, you guys do a lot of raiding...any chance your raid groups could run some playtests on the homebuilt raids that Yellowbrains and I are working on?  Looking for some feedback.

    We just did another playtest of the Orgrimmar city raid, against 6 raiders...it was pretty fun.

    @Kobradin

    My group of weekly raiders just this week tried out a custom raid with the rules set that you and Yellowbrains created. I wanted to say that we had alot of fun, it was def fun seeing there faces as cards they knew well came into play as Bosses.

    One thing that I wanted to mention is that I had a rather easy time crushing them, due mostly to the flags. Our raiding decks are not built to stealth through anything (for it is rarely needed in the pre-made raid scenarios).

    With Naxx about to come out, I have not yet made any of the decks that you have created on the start page. However, looking to do so once Naxx becomes a bore.

    Just a little about our play group, we only raid, our decks are pure raid decks, and bc of this I saw they were slightly gimped for the custom raid deck rule set. However, it was awesome to have new content to work with, and I cant wait to see the new decklists you two create.

    I made some reference cards that sum up the raid rules and list out what the flags do and I've found that this really motivated the raiders to take and keep flags (in fact in the last raids I've done, the most flags I've ever had was 2..) I'll post the cheat sheets to the custom raid thread. One thing that the raiders should keep in mind is that you don't need an attack strength to be able to take a flag so even unequiped heroes can grab them. Also, using the flag will keep it exhausted, so even if the boss gets it back, he has to wait a turn until it's available.

    As Kobradin said, stealth and long range are much more useful in these raids.

    Which raid did you try?

    Re: The Raid Deck Thread! NEW HOMEBUILT RAIDS

    Yellowbrains (raid boss) is a bit hamstrung by having me on the raiding team usually, since I know how important it is to have the low drop protectors and importance of the flags.  This is something the raiders will learn as they do these raids, you MUST control the flags at almost all costs.  I've taken damage and played instant abilities to keep flags out of the hands of the raid boss.  Only 1 flag per raider means that the raiders must work as a team to get the flags and keep the flags.  I've told the raid crew how important it is, the cheat sheet will really help remind them of this...and if it doesn't then a nice board wipe will learn dem stinkin' raiders real fast.

    I still feel the weak point of these city raids is the lack of interrupts, lack of removal, and the nasty abilities that some of the raid decks pack.  But overall, I'm pretty happy with the progress and scaleability.  Bring on the Blood Elves of Silvermoon City, I'm not scared!
