Akachi Onyele - Teacher Deck, Full Collection

TEACHER DECK?

The “Teacher Decks” are meant to provide an easy to explain decklist for an experienced player, with a full collection(up to the Edge of the Earth release), to give to a new player to show teach the game with.

Note that these decks aren’t super optimized or efficient like many of the decklists around here. That’s because it would defeat the point of these teacher decks. I’m just giving a solid platform to learn the game with.

It can be hard enough to learn the ins and outs of this game, lets not make it harder on ourselves by getting ahead of ourselves shall we?

These will generally include an overview of the deck, what it should be teaching, and some suggestions and thoughts on upgrades for the deck.

DISCLAIMER: DON’T START A NEW PLAYER WITH A MYSTIC.

• I believe a mystic should be the third or later primary class given to a new player.
• Most mystic cards are very wordy, with heavy amount of the “basic” cards taking a paragraph and a half to say “it’s a will test, if you pull x token you get hurt”. This can be overwhelming to read through in the flood of other new information.
• Only wanting Will tests will eventually skew what normal tests look like. For example, they might start trying to investigate and look to their willpower instead of intellect.

OVERVIEW

Now then, Akachi is the queen of arcane assets, giving each one an additional charge can go a long way. This is a newbie friendly effect, as it gives them less to focus on. “Do spells more” is as straightforward as a mystic gets.

UPGRADES

As expected, you will want to upgrade your spell assets first, followed by the Decorated skull(3). Twila(3) is a solid replacement for the familiar, changing it from “more spell cards” to “longer spell length”.
