Not sure if you have seen this, but http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=329274117 Really good guide to get a base deck out of. Moles hasn't added every single faction in there yet, but it is still very informative. I recently took his skeezick deck, added some personalization to it(AKA add in drought because NoKhanDo is super annoying), and I am loving it so far.
Just jumping in to say this: Drought as a spell is currently pretty bad and against NKD, you might wanna consider either Dragonfear (Distracted deactivates NKD and then you give it Awestruck too) or Transfusion (drains the AP and gives it to one of yours). Both spells have way more flexibility in their use and are generally just better.
SL Dragons are pretty cheap and effective with just Maulers, Rumblers, Vindrax and other common/uncommon stuff. SL Skeezick are also still strong when made on a budget.
You can make a solid Kanen list with nothing higher than a rare - even a banner. Getting a Banner and a Slipped make the list much better, though, and those are quite cheap.
