Spam decks and such

[Risu]

Spam decks are all 1 point creatures. They are disliked as they require virtually no skill to use and are highly annoying to fight if you're unprepared.


In order of 'hatedness' for team decks:


Big Number 1 - Arkz cheap MC deck - AC unable creatures that can spawn for free by various methods, Gilchichs, plus Mine Brightness and March of the Meek. Guaranteed to make any semi-experienced player you're facing hate you instantly and leave the game during / after the fight.


Cheap (Native) spam - A blocking deck, most effective on tight maps. The Arkz will continually set 1 point creatures, many don't even attack, but aim to win on the timeout instead. The attacking version uses Attack 6, March of the Meek, and Heavy Attack; usually also Forest Rain, as there are lots of 1 point NA creatures.


Epsilon decks - Epsilon is a very over-powered card, many former spammers are now big Epsilon fans.


All decks are ok to me, that's the game, but many people hate Kranz+Yasi3000R+Split Boost, Viviana+Rukmin, Stella+Masers and other Heroside combinations that are really obvious and massively over-used by newbie players, simply because they require no skill to put together and are old and tired.


Having said that, in a Japanese battle table game you will even see the above decks used, as they are far less effective when used as one half of a team. They only truly ruin the game when used as a team strategy by both players. Even then they can be dealt with, but it requires a specific approach to deck building.
