User:Slave28/Babylon 5 Collectible Card Game deck types

The Babylon 5 Collectible Card Game )B5 CCG), is unique that it is usually played with a group of four to five players at once. The fun aspect of predetermining who will play each Race/Faction and customizing a deck from the thousands of cards available is truly a great challenge even for a seasoned CCG veteran. There are several types of decks that can be built that have a direct impact on achieving victory.

Dicey.''
