Hi,

Minimum you need at least 9 MTM cards. During an event It would probably be beneficial to have your best 3 Autobots or Decepticons in the X3 row with at least a faction matched weapon (if not the signature). This will give all the 'attacking faction' cards in the deck an additional 10% attack power. This is better than having your best cards in the X3 row but not a complete faction trio, meaning that any attacking faction cards just get a 5% boost. It's also better than forcing yourself to have a 9 card attacking faction deck. 20% attack bonus won't make up for the power lost from putting your weaker cards in to make 9. So 10% is the optimal bonus as it doesn't sacrifice too much.

Signature weapons are generally the best weapons for the character, as they tend to round out the stats. However sometimes you end up with the top weapon from an event without the character and that weapon may boost another character more than their own sig weapon.

Sig contributes half or 15% of the total 30% weapon bonus, so sometimes sacrificing that 15% is justified if the mismatched weapon is better by 15% or more than the sig weapon. This usually happens across character tiers I.e. R5 to R4.

One more thing, it's important to try to balance the health and defence in your deck within the X2 rows to protect your best cards and make sure that one team doesn't get smashed prematurely.

So start with Recommend but then tweak it manually.
