This deck is under construction. Anyone is welcome to contribute - check the talk page to find out more.

This is a deck based around the space combat that takes place in the Halo novels and the limitations of that universe(Slipspace, nukes, shields, prowlers, etc). This is my first deck, so any help would be appreciated.

Special Rules

A player must choose a race and allegiance at the start of the game. These are: Human(UNSC), Human(Insurrection), Covenant(Sangheili/Elites) and Covenant(Jiralhanae/Brutes)

Each race has card limitations and advantages, i.e. the Insurrectionists cannot use Spartan teams or prowlers, but can use the Black Market or Piracy to easily procure ships.

One more thing...no Halo Installations. Or Flood. Or Master Chief. It would just complicate things to try and tie this in with the whole Halo story arc.

Card List

WSD = With shields dissipated. WSA = With shields active

SHIVA nukes

Action - Human

If target ship is Human, or Covenant WSD, target ship is destroyed. If target ship is Covenant with shields active, dissipate target shields.

Black Market

Action - Human(Insurrection)

Search the discard pile for a Human ship and move it into your hand.

Piracy

Action - Human(Insurrection)

Play this when you destroy an enemy ship to gain control of it. If it is Covenant WSD, its shields remain dissipated.

Spartan Team(boarder)

Thing - Human(UNSC)

Show to your opponent when they use any boarder type Action on your ship to negate its effects. Action: If you have a Human transport, discard this card and the vehicle used and roll 2d9. If first roll is 8-9, gain control of target Human ship or Covenant ship WSD or dissipate shields of Covenant ship WSA. If first roll is 1-7, destroy target ship. If second roll is 8-9, do not discard Spartan Team. If second roll is 1-7, discard Spartan Team as normal.

Orbital Defense Grid(Reach)

Thing - Human(UNSC)

When this is in play, Covenant players have 5 turns to destroy it or their fleet is destroyed and they are eliminated from the game. Action: play this to immediately destroy a Covenant ship if their fleet size is 5 or more.
