OTE Decks 2: Big Government, Mad Science!, Atlantean Baboon Cannon


This is the second post about On The Edge CCG decks, specifically, what is in the ones we were using the last several CCG Days I held.  The format is the deck’s name, followed by some explanatory text, and then the cards in the deck.

Note: These are not necessarily the most optimal versions of these decks as I don’t have an unlimited number of cards, just a lot of cards.  You may be able to improve on these by adding rare cards I didn't have or didn't have a lot of.  Early distribution of cards was pretty awful.


Big Government
This deck’s goal is to show the other conspiracies who is in charge on this island with a solid mix of Government agents, bureaucrats, and hired assassins.  It really needs Monique D’Aubaine, but I didn’t have a spare one to put in it (I keep a separate collection from my playing cards).  Again, the original boosters had terrible distribution.

Mad Science!
This deck uses the Gladsteins backed by the Dog Faces, because where would Mad Science be without experimental monkeys?  Use gear and conditions to boost both your hitters and pullers to be near unbeatable.  There is plenty of Weird Radiation to go around.  This deck also is one of the few to use NO expansion set cards.

Atlantean Baboon Cannon
This deck takes a little explanation and some luck to get it set up, but once it is running, it is pretty terrifying.  The key is Andrew Banks (D14).  Get him in your back rank and put a Patrol Baboon in front of him (into the cannon as it were).  Crank Andrew Banks to make the Patrol Baboon a 10 AP hitter with Bulldoze.  It will pop after combat, so drop another Patrol Baboon in front of Andrew Banks to block or be in position for next turn (reloading the cannon).

To make this even more frightening, in the file next to Andrew Banks, place one of the baboon handlers with two more Patrol Baboons in front of the handler and adjacent to the one in front of Andrew Banks.  When Andrew Banks is cranked to enhance the baboon in front of him, have that baboon attack the baboon in the adjacent file [yes, attack your own conspiracy - the rules allow it] and then play Cheap Baboon Trick.  The two baboons Gang-Up, providing a 15 AP Bulldoze attack that nothing can stand against, including Pharaohs!  The enhanced baboon pops after combat, the adjacent baboon isn’t, and you probably have yet another baboon in your hand to drop in front of Andrew Banks, reloading the cannon for next turn.  Boom.

Eventually you bring Molly or Chikutorpl into play and gain enough Influence to win.  The Atlantean cards let you enhance the cannon or interfere with the other player’s attempt to disrupt the cannon on their turn.
