Sinbad and Porter
by Restoration Games (Rob Daviau and Justin Jacobson)

So this is my favorite kind of deck, the build-over-time attack that Tim Wutke uses in his Zuko & Iro deck for Avatar the Last Airbender, and that I tried to get going in a Kit Fisto deck.  Sinbad, with his 17 talent cards, does it better than any of them, plus he gets the bonus to his movement.  I value movement and therefore find Sinbad’s ability to start moving 4, 5 and 6 per turn to be a bit ridiculous.

Notes:

– Sinbad’s VOYAGE cards don’t have a BOOST value.  Why would you ever use them as a BOOST anyways?

– EXPLOIT definitely looks like a card that anyone could use as part of their basic deck.

– LEAP AWAY is essentially a stronger form of SKIRMISH. It doesn’t seem you’d have both cards. I wouldn’t give it to just anyone.

    Got the BoL set in the mail today!

    Sinbad seems to be the best designed and most effective deck in this set. He is the King of the Comeback, and I’ve used the hand limit of 7 with Riches Beyond Compare to get rid of 2 Voyages I didn’t need just to get stronger faster.

      Sinbad is my fave! I love the “attack increases in strength as you use it” mechanic that Tim Wutke employs in his Zuko & Iroh deck, but it’s done better with Sinbad since it can utilize more cards.

  2. Darth Wolverine says:

    So, I don’t know why I only just now noticed this: Sinbad and Arthur both have Feint and Regroup cards that are only a boost value of 1 in my copy. Is this the same in your copy or am I just the victim of an unlucky printing error?

      2. Hey yeah, you’re right about Arthur and Sinbad and the Feint and Regroup cards. I don’t know why they’d be different than the others, but they are. For Arthur, maybe they wanted to limit how easily he could BOOST his attacks. For Sinbad, though, I don’t get it at all.
