How is everyone finding the theme decks? Are they a worthwhile addition to the game? Or do you find, like me, that they just mean you can't read the names of your own decks on the deck selection screen?

    I'll admit, I just wanted to be a neutral option. Just for the heck of it. I've actually used one of them once, and the exta runes from the begginer decks was welcomed.

    Since I have only beginner decks, I didn't see any chance to play one of these.

    Oh, they do also mean that I have to name my decks so they show up first in the deck roster without having to use the filter...

    Not played any of them, mostly because I don't have the cards to play them

    They all require exclusive mythics that I have not paid to get.  So I can't play with them.  (Although it is sad to see how many uncommons I'm missing as well despite the large number of packs I've opened)

    I've always thought of you as a neutral option :)

    I would play with Theme Decks if there was an event where you played only with Theme Decks of the same power level, especially if they let you play with cards you do not own for the duration of the event.

    Helpful hint:  play test your deck in Training Grounds and win 5 games in a row.   If you don't win 5 games in a row, tweak your deck until you do.   In your deck name, put the average number of turns it took for you to win.

    Example:  "06.8 Koth Goodstuff" or "07.2 Drowner Combo".

    This way, you are always favoring decks which are fast, but also resilient.
