So I made a German deck as a joke to see how easy it is to win....

Just as a disclaimer - I've played the game for about 2 years, but out of principle I haven't played any single German deck for the past 9-ish months (Naval Warfare) just because from what I've faced in recent time, the mechanics introduced goes against everything a CCG has to be: Competitive, Fun, Interactive...

So after the relentless rubbish on ladder with busted cards and "win more" apparently the name of the meta, I decided as a joke to slap together a German arty deck with some of the nonsense return to hand, discard, "can't deploy units next turn", convert your hand into bullshit...you know, the classic current German deck which takes no forethought and is exclusively there to be miserable to play against.

Now I didn't include Bismarck (I'm not that much of a scumbag) but it turns out that spending 2 minutes literally just throwing random shit together and as much artillery as I can is strong enough that I've lost 2 of my last 11 games. No playtesting, no tinkering just using the tempo-disrupting, anti-fun, mind-numbing mechanics that oozes out of the German collection.

I was more successful with this crap than I have been with my Soviets, which is and has been my go-to since I started playing the game and know inside out.

Germany is busted all around.
