MECCG Resource Support Cards

A listing of resource that I normally use by category. Clearly you cannot use all of them in one deck, but this should help get you started picking and choosing the ones you think will work best for you.

Good cards that are recommended for any deck have a light yellow background. Cards that could fit into more than one category I have listed in all relevant categories.

Cards which have a pre-requisite (such as a skill) are listed in the 'Required' column. A term in parenteses indicates that the card does not have a pre-requisite but is greatly helped by a certain skill / condition.

Note: These are only support cards. You should start assembling your resource deck by choosing Marshal Point cards (Factions, Allies, Information, Items, etc.) found in the regions you plan to be wandering in. The cards in this listing tend to be non-marshalling, event-type cards, with the exception of some items, allies, and characters.
