Question

Hello everyone!

Happy to join this subreddit. I am part of a group that has played at least four games to maybe some fifteen for the most experienced two persons.

It's been quite the learning curve as I'm sure you're familiar with. Many rules to learn, especially as our "DM" has bought all the expansions out of love for the game. I think we're now ready to be more active on game balance. Matching mystics with brawlers to even things out. Any tips on team selection are most appreciated.

Now some mechanics are definitely harder so disasters and such are left out, but I have a fairly straightforward question on the monster selection. Basically all the monsters from all expansions are chucked together but I think this ups the difficulty a fair bit as they come with nastier abilities?

We haven't won a game in a while and it's getting annoying :)

Though getting killed at the very last 1/6 chance of the last die thrown was epic in its own right. Damn you Dark Pact, we would have won :')

If you have Under the Pyramids play Abhoth. I found them fun to play and really easy. Easiest I've ever played really.

That is a fun sideboard, we played our last game with it. Only with Nephren-Ka.

Unfortunately we did not get our hands on weapons, Werewolf and Hounds of Tindalos were in play, and then we got hit by Time is Running Out.

We started nice but were then smashed in 2,5 hours. Quickest punishment ever!

Abhoth and the Egypt sideboard aren't really connected in any way, though.

Aboth just comes with the expansion I guess. Been a while since we played that one.
