I was reading in Metagame the coverage of 10K Sydney and found "THE Skrull Deck" to be a really interesting and noteworthy one. But after checking the list of cards, a friend of mine noticed it only had 57.

Was this just an oversight of the people that transcribed the list? And if so, can we get the full list to find the three missing cards?, since I would love to build a deck like this one.

My guess is that he was running 4x Ethan Edwards rather than 1x.

It should be noted that Mark Slack 'invented' the earliest versions of this deck which where outlined in a few articles on vsuniverse.

Looking at the Sydney build, No Man Escapes deserves a spot over Blinding Rage.

Yes and no. I think a lot of people invented early version of this deck. My team was running a version very similar to Slack's a while before his articles came out, and I know he DIDN'T steal our build :classic: . This is one of those ideas that occured to many people, as it is essesntially a constructed verison of a draft deck a lot of people have found to be very brutal. I could be wrong, but I am pretty certain Michael Lou had been working on this for a long time, and I give him credit for the most brutal version of this deck i have seen yet.

As well as Mark Slack's excellent articles on vs.tcgplayer.com (Mark is one of the better contributers to the pool of knowledge in this game IMHO) you can also check out Michael Walklate's article on vsparadise: http://www.vsparadise.com/articles/s...9michael.shtml

I think all these version pale next to Michael Lou's though.

Yes, I remember reading that article in vs.tcgplayer, and even lost to a similar build in MWS while playing with Kree like a couple of months ago. Seeing as the Skrull strategy is a bit straightforward, I don't doubt many players reached a similar build of the deck, but Lou's one was the first to almost take the cake.

That's the reason I was curious to find which where the three missing cards, and as has been noted before Ethan Edwards seems like the most logical choice.

Anyone ever figure out what the missing 3 cards were?

it was 3 X ethan edwards.

- i think this is the 2nd realms thread in regards to this.

Happens every time there is a discrepancy like this. Everyone wants to be Dog the Bounty Hunter and catch somebody doing something wrong.

I find it more ridiculous that original posters can't figure out that it's a clerical error rather than an actual 57 card deck.

Well i vs a similar deck on that day and i think the deck runs 61 cards. the missing cards are 4x EoME
