Do you have any particular goal / theme / meta concerns in mind with this pile? I mean, there a lots of great dilemmas out there, and some what you're using doesn't seem that good, but I'm not sure how to narrow it down.

Off the top of my head, I'd be tempted to cut Distraction, Pinned Down, Sorting Things Out, Stay Where Thou Art, and Overwhelmed, for example. Overwhelmed can be playable but needs a pile built all around it, the others I really don't think are worth considering. The rest of the pile includes some stuff of varying levels of quality but could at least be considered.

For starters, two of best dual dilemmas in the game are An Issue of Trust and Hard Time. Pitching In, The Weak Will Perish, Ingenious Jury-rig, and Intimidation are some other solid dual dilemmas to consider. You've got more than enough planet and space dilemmas, so I won't suggest adding any more of those for now.

What deck you're using this pile with also plays a role. For example, Tsiolkovsky and Whisper are nearly unplayable if your deck doesn't run a lot of events that play to core. There a number of other dilemmas that, in other ways, have their usefulness depend on some aspect of your main deck.

It may help you to see which dilemmas were the most popular in winning decks in the 2014 regional season.

Good suggestions. I agree, without knowing the aim of the dilemma pile it's hard to know what to cut and what to add. Are you going for just a straight attrition pile, a kill pile, filter/filter/wall pile? Just in general I would say to try and keep the planet and space around 6 or 7 for a 38 card dilemma pile. You don't want too many of either as too many would encourage dead draws when your opponent attempts missions.

Going for all around good dilemma pile that is very versatile when facing other opposing factions. Never been the best with this part of the deck building process unfortunately..
