I don't think there is a need for this deckbuilding thing to creep into this game. In my opinion it would drag the set-up time out even longer. Because you need to build a new deck every scenario due to scenario search items.
And you would also almost every time encounter the most powercull cards. I just like the entire "shit happens" in this game. You never know what you will find and that makes it interesting because you have to make split second desisions and you can not rely on "oh I got this card coming...goody goody..."

Exactly. This is kind of how I feel about it. I like the idea that you can wind up getting any card at any time. With deck building, of course each player is going to pick all of their best cards, so a lot of cards will wind up never getting play, in favor of seeing the same cards all the time.

I also kind of like the idea that you are never sure if help is coming. You can get nothing but cards that won't help you and be SOL, or suddenly find just the card you need.

So, Emp, since you own all the expansions...

Have you ever counted? How many cards does each deck have in total now?
