Welcome to today's First Edition Friday Question, where you get a chance to answer questions that will help shape the future of First Edition. If you'd like to catch up on previous entries, here's a list of all of my previous Friday Questions:
Today, I'd love to hear your thoughts on what you find to be the fun challenges of building a deck in First Edition. All too often, we focus on the negatives. Sometimes, that's a good thing, when it leads to improvements and changes to enhance the experience. But solving problems is human nature, and for many players, doing it when building a deck is part of the fun.
What are your favorite deck building challenges?
For example, I was recently building a deck for a format limited to just a handful of sets. (It was this tournament, if you're curious.) I found that several personnel that I really wanted to include in my deck were not in the legal expansions. This forced me to get creative and find different ways to deal with the skill shortage. It ended up being a lot of fun, and I looked at different cards I probably wouldn't have otherwise.
What kind of challenges do you enjoy solving when building your decks? Maybe it's an intentional challenge, like trying to find a way to use a card that nobody has used in years. Or maybe it's something that comes up, like trying to figure out how to get a specific personnel into play. What obstacles do you love to get past when building your 1E decks?
That's it for this week. I hope you have a great weekend, and if you're in the US, you're making safe plans for Thanksgiving. Stay safe, stay sane, and play some Trek if you can!
