With so many players new to TCGs in the Cyberpunk TCG fan space, let's break down a bit of a primer regarding how you can start to make sense of the cards that are revealed! When do you know a card is great, or when does it start to need a bit of heavy lifting to get there?
Maindeck Dan and RedZoneRogue break down the basics - plus, we dig deep into the responses to our last Make a Choice about set quantity, offer a new one with a Would you Rather style, and answer a couple of mailbag questions about crackin' packs and colorless cards!
Got a mailbag question? Drop them in the comments, or send an email to cardrunners at maindeck dot gg!

![SHATTER your foes with Wind Assassin Merlin! [Grand Archive TCG]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/lU6c1xLaq4k/mqdefault.jpg "SHATTER your foes with Wind Assassin Merlin! [Grand Archive TCG]
Merlin is a tricky champion to play - with so many resources to juggle, how do you maximize her value? Weve been testing a Wind list that doesnt go to level 3 and instead cranks the pressure up on the opponent, using the Material deck to create huge damage spike lines when combined with her powerful weapon options and her Masterys built in damage!
For players who like a little bit of thought in their aggro, this is a great list to play around with and can keep up with many decks in the format. Learning the lines can take a bit so we hope you enjoy this in depth look at the list to get you off on the right foot - try it out and let us know how it goes!
