So we know Mobage loves to read these boards to figure out how to thwart us next, so let's give 'em fits. If we have enough strategies, they surely can't block all of them, right? ;)

I'm a raid card player. Have been. Back in the day (you know, way, way back in June), it was the way to do things. Just made sense, and back then it even saved you time unlike now. But I'm not noticing the same return on investment the last few events. My deck does about 30 mil anyways, and after spending $200 I'm usually doing just over double that. Whoopdedoo.

So it occurs to me, and I'm sure to others, is it possible to get there by having a great starting deck and just doubling up on cubes? What's the real outlay? For $100, in a typical episode, one can pick up about 600 cubes. The first day or two, unless you are extremely lucky with the Space Bridge (and I am not), you really are one cubing most things anyways and then stopping/sniping once you hit your comfort zone. That leaves you with 4 days of double and triple cubing, and doing more damage in the process. My one cube right now is about 72 million, but if I had just stayed with my original Decepticon deck, I would be dropping 2 cubes and doing about 75-80 million. For half the price. Theoretically.

What I'm curious about, would you be strong enough in the endgame? Where it is mandatory to kill your own bosses at times... Or would you eventually just end up buying more cubes and evening out anyways? I don't see a whole lot of Nemesis Prime's leading the top tier decks. It's always raid cards.

As a previous game tester, I try to think outside the box. I'm sure this has occurred to others though. So I guess what I'm asking is, does this work for anyone? Is anybody playing like this now? Could it possibly work? Or have I just created the wave of the future (until Mobage hoses that approach too ;) )?

Or does anybody else have any ideas? So much complaining these days (me included), let's get some positive teamwork and fresh ideas in here. Crack a window!!
