The thing about the description that really terrifies me is the potential prospect of having to equip every floor at once with a deck. That would make a lot of sense as to why folks tend to gravitate towards singleton decks - it's a lot easier to make duplicate decks when you have more of a given card to work with.

It'd also require some librarians to be given "suboptimal" keypages. Then again, maybe you can just have one immortal Yesod floor and wipe out everyone after their floor gets destroyed?
Nah, people gravitate towards Singleton because it's both powerful and, most importantly, really easy to build. You don't need to worry about card draw, which is pretty hard to get right as a beginner, since Will of the Prescript and Multislash do it for you. You don't need to worry about card ratios (do I put in two of this or three of that to make them more common to draw?) because you only use one copy of everything. You don't need to worry about which cards to pick over others because you've got enough room in your deck to just shove in everything that looks good. Hell it also lets you understand the game faster because you're using a wide variety of cards rather than just one or two so you can understand which cards perform better through hands-on experience.

And by the time Singleton stops being the objectively best strategy in the very endgame when you get other powerful drawtech cards like Will of the City and Brace Up...well, you've gotten into a habit since you've been using Singleton for like, half the game at this point.

Unsurprisingly there is a modded version of The Black Silence keypage that turns Orland Furioso into a mass attack, in the style of the dashing around hitting every target type we have seen some times. It is exactly as cool as it sounds.

Also, as far as 46 decks, you obviously don't need 1 for Roland, Gebura or Binah, and in theory you don't need one for the rest of Gebura's floor, since one of the "best" playstyles for that floor is to have Gebura eat everyone else to power up.

This might be the first use of Tiphereth in…how long? Since her Realization? A Sad Clown strategy might also relieve the deck building pressure since no one else’s assistant librarians will need to be optimized to lose clashes.

The time has come. Soon, the bell shall ring. A new world will come. Rise, my servants. Rise and serve me. I am death and life. Darkness and light.


The thread has spoken, and not one soul was surprised. We're doing Binah Realization next.
