So many goad effects.. —July 10, 2022
So more playtesting happened with the "samurai attacks alone" variation. I did end up getting a single win out of the few games I played that way, however the deck felt far more clunky that way, than with tokens and such that was the original build. However, two guys in our playgroup have built goad themed decks, based off some of the stuff dropped in Baulder's Gate - and it totally, and completely, screws the samurai effects.
Basically, we go back to the original build - minus one thing. I've removed Herald of the Host and put in Aurelia, the Warleader, since I also threw in Legion Loyalty - everything gets myriad! and extra combat phases, so, why not? I feel like this is the far more threatening version of the deck, even with the goaders in our playgroup. Plus, if I've got a ton of myriad happening, they won't be impacted by the goad some of the time.
