so yesterday i was bored and decided to make a red traitor warlock deck.  this is your typical traitor warlock that you see in recent constructed tournaments, but i just wanted to try it out and see how to play it.

i end up cramming 73 cards into the deck and realized i put too many in.  so i cut down to 60 with a few different perks that made it so i did not just copy and paste the deck.  after its all trimmed and the side deck is complete i realized a very important card was missing.  i owned all the common, uncommon, rares, and epics to this deck (which is not something i can always say), but i was missing the absolute one thing that you need to make a deck.

Apparently i never owned the actual hero, Plague Demonsoul..........

has anyone else ever went through building an entire deck and realized they were missing the hero?

Actually i were building a deck umm, lets say 1 year ago, not sure when. But had exacly the same situation...

Well, now just all trade me my wants !! heh

Check out my Article Series "Tools of the Trade" here at wowtcg.com!

Can' say that I have, I always start my decks by choosing a hero first, then building with race, spec, and all that good jazz in mind.

That's about as massive a fail as it gets..
Laziest judge you'll ever meet. No, really.

capep:

I would let you borrow mine, but it probably wouldn't fit in your deckbox.

Do you actually need the hero CARD to have a legal deck?

(in limited they let you write your hero on a piece of paper)

Yeah, you do. I've seen multiple round one losses handed to hero-less players at Conts and DMFs.

the good news is ill have a plague demonsoul before my next BG :P.  so at least my goof is not going to cost me a week.

    Happened with my Koo'zar deck.  Luckily when I went to the BG the TO had opened up a box of BoG the week before (I helped him open) and I bought the hero for a buck.

I think that you Leonard have as much of a chance of having a sexual relationship with Penny as the Hubble telescope does of discovering at the center of every black hole is a little man with a flashlight searching for a circuit breaker.

Yeah collecting all the heroes from Betrayer was actually a real mission - i think I'm still missing some myself.

I've done it twice I think. Both times was because I saw the card scan online somewhere and though "I can make a cool deck with that Hero". I went made the deck, sleeved it, made sure it was at least 60 cards. Then went crazy looking through all my stuff (I play a few TCGs and Minis games) to find the hero. Then after ten minutes of ripping apart my collections, realizing I never had the card! I think sometimes "gamers" get too wrapped up in their favorite game.

I've gone the other route before - built a deck on paper or through Card Vault and then go to pull the cards from a binder only to find that I either don't have enough of the card that I want or those cards are in another deck which I gotta go cannibalize or make proxies of for placeholders.

I actually recently (a couple months ago) went through all my cards and trimmed the fat.  I now own:
8x common/uncommons of every set.  The rest are in a box waiting to go to a good home.
2x Every hero - Just in case I lose one...LOL, rest are in that same box.
12x Every Quest - Because sometimes I get on a quest kick and put it in every deck I play.  Rest in a box awaiting a good home.
8x Every equipment - that I own, certain things like Bringers/Perdition's Blades/etc are just a single playset.  Some I don't even own a full playset of, sadly.
Rares - All in the binder, and in a trade box with the left over (more than 4-ofs).
EA's I actually got a count of all my EA's no more picking up duplicates at BG's thinking I still need one to finish the playset....I own 9x EA Forces of Jaedenar for christs sake.  Usually from thinking that very thing...week after week.

Most of the time my brother and I don't actually own the hero, we have to order it online. Usually with its entire set though, but we often lose the others lol
