    These ARE being updated with the PS4 launch. Public Decks, meanwhile, are being phased out.

    Theme Decks will be available for both Credits and Gold.

    ~

    The decks are intended to be somewhat competitive while offering variety and will feature between 4 to 6 EXO/LEGs runes - but we are under no illusion they will be top tier forever or anything. The goal is to guide people towards being able build/edit their own decks, thus they will be fully modifiable (unlike Public Decks).

    Runes given via Walkthrus will not be tradeable or shardable, but Runes purchased as Theme Decks will be.

    • Limited doubling of runes
    • Every deck has a Warbanner
    • Currently 1 Walkthru and 2 theme decks per faction

    Are the walk-thrus being updated as well since they grant public decks?

    The decks are being replaced by Walkthru specific decks.

    In the rules it says "Limited doubling of runes" what does that mean?

    Note that you should be able to comment on the doc itself also.

    Would making the decks extremely competitive (within the guidelines) be something you're interested in? Just looking at the FS decks they are just slightly behind the curve (about 60% efficiency, which is an improvement) when it comes to being the top tier versions of their existing top ranked versions.

    Is this intentional so that there is some element of deck building the players must learn? I guess it wouldn't be very good if all these decks were ranked 1 viable. If this isn't your intention I'm sure the playerbase could tweak them a tad to ensure their longevity as competitive and viable ranked BGs.

    They are intended to be pretty competitive, feel free to make comments directly on the doc if you have suggestions.

    They don't have to be tier 1 decks right out of the box, because they can be edited. Any runes you don't like you can take out.

    Ah this was what I was after. Since this is the case I would leave them as is so players can explore the deck building aspect of pox.

    What happens to people, who currently own a public deck, be it one from the walkthrough or otherwise?
