I'm curious how do people do dilemma combos in Lackey?

I tried this today, to see how time consuming it was. It took me about 5 minutes to find all my dilemmas in the seed card pile, flip them, and stack them in the correct order on the table. Is there any way to "pre-arrange" these in the deck builder tool so when I "load deck" to myself they are in the correct order and not randomly shuffled in with my other seed cards?

Or is it perfectly normal for players to spend ~5 minutes making dilemma stacks on the table before seeding them?

Also something else odd I noticed... I put 18 dilemmas on the table, face down. When I was done I selected the entire lot, and dragged them all back into my seed card pile. The 12 "non-dilemma" cards in the pile were still revealed to me, and the 18 dilemmas were still face down. I did a "reveal all to me" and the dilemmas would not flip over so I could see them. I could only see a dilemma, one at a time, if I did the "flip card" command (or by selected multiple cards and then doing a flip card on them in group). If that normal that if you "flip card" the only way to see it again is to do another "flip card" (I.e. reveal does not work on a card that has been flipped)?

Not playing 1e that often, but when you select a card from a pile or hand and move it on the table, you can press ctrl key to place them face down.

Revealing and flipping are two different things. Revealing toggles between only backsides and (flipped or non-flipped) cards. I guess you are looking for "clear" but that also removes notes and counters. Double sided cards work for the owner, not for other players when flipped.

Seed cards are not randomized on loading a deck.
But they follow the order in the .txt / .dek file. The first in the list is on the right in that pile. That order will likely be the order these cards were added to the decklist.

Yes. This is probably one of the reasons that online games are timed at one hour 45 minutes.

Seed cards get organized in your Crew 1 tab from newest to oldest, as far as I can tell.

Can confirm that this works! I opened the txt file of the deck, spent a few minutes rearranging the cards. The LAST card in the tab is the FIRST one on the left when you load the deck (as you said). Not only were all 18 dilemmas listed first but they were clustered together in the groups of three for my 6 combos. This is a HUGE time saver. Thanks for the tip!

@eberlems Also Assign Mission Specialists. No matter which one I choose and save the deck with, upon load it comes up with just the cardback, just like Kevin Uxbridge. They look just like Persistent Individuality, lol.

For a full set, generally 8.

In this case we know it's 8 for Nemesis because Rogue said so.
