Articles

Countering Cheese - an extended email essay about the cards and strategies that can be used to combat "cheese" decks - or the more unbalancing Premier edition decks. By Doplegnger (Doplegnger@aol.com)

--Doom Deck

--Destiny Deck

Discussion Articles are something I'd like to start - a series of messages discussing a form of strategy/concept. Any opinion is welcome.. Here's the first:
Playing with Blocks in 2257

John Hart published an article promoting the Shadows expansion in Scyre. The interesting part is the deck called, "Fanning the Flames". You can access it here at Chris Miller's page: http://www.louisville.edu/~cmmill01/scryearticle.html

The Zocalo by Steve Crow - A review of the cards central to certain strategies and races. Not the last word, but definitely the best first word. You can reach Steve at scrow@chop.isca.uiowa.edu.

Part 6: Babylon 5 Station

Part 13: "Neccesary Cards"

Strategies

This section will be divided by strategy and include links to articles and decks on this web site and those on other websites.. Of course, I think each of these sections (Decks/Articles/Strategies/Races) will become have their own page.. this is somewhere to start, however.
