First Post! The All-Stars!

Hey all, I'd like to welcome you to my blog. All of my first posts, including this one, will concentrate on CHEAP (at the time of these posts) cards that beginners can get to build up decent half-decks. I'll be doing this clan by clan, so if you have a clan that you like, you'll be able to find my recommendations here.

First off, the All-Stars:

6
5
Stop Opp Ability
-2 opp power, min 1

3
5
Power +4
-2 opp power, min 1

-2 opp power, min 1

5
2
Stop Opp Bonus
-2 opp power, min 1

6
4
-6 opp attack, min 5
-2 opp power, min 1


All of these seven cards can be interchanged to form a half-deck of four cards, or you can use them together with a leader for a full deck.
Starting out, Amelia is a great, cheap card. She has good power and damage, and would be a good first purchase into the all-star clan. However, be warned - as you start playing in daily tournaments or in ELO, you will meet SOA (stop opponent ability) cards that will cripple her. Hence, her potential is capped later on and she loses her value in a half-deck. Nonetheless, for a beginner, she's a very good card.
My next purchase would be either Ashley or Flo (be careful again, though: in terms of long-term potential, Ashley's one damage is a huge handicap, so she's much more useful early on). Hence, my personal pick would be for Flo.
Then, Mario is a solid card that isn't spectacular, but has good base stats. Kang is also a possibility if you need more damage, but he loses value later on against the common SOA clans (Roots and Gheist).
Next, I would round out my half-deck with Randy, a vey good card. If his ability and bonus go through, you end up with likely a 2 power cushion on your opponent and you have a good chance of winning the round. In this case, you should pill him well to get his big 6 damage through.
Finally, as I said earlier, Amelia weakens later on, and a great replacement for her in a half-deck is Alexei, as right around this time (daily tournaments, ELO), having an SOA becomes very useful. Alexei has only 1 damage less than Striker, but costs about 10,000 clintz less!

Overall, one of my first clans was the All-Stars, and they are really quite good for beginners, in terms of both price and strength (7.5/10).
Later on, the deck can also hold its own decently, especially with Alexei, Randy, and Flo, but you'll need higher-priced cards like Striker and Marina to really be competitive (6.5/10)
