WHY I USE SITES

   

Some have complained that people who use sites defensively are being "weak" because they cannot have a good defense without them.  This is my reply to that:

    

Many people who use sites in their deck do so as part of an overall strategy. I have enough cards that I can build any deck I want, with the best evil cards in the game.  But my opponents build decks to overcome strong defenses (duh!). One thing my opponents do not always prepare for is losing their access site. If I can discard (or remove from game) their only access site, then I can prevent my opponent from winning.

People who do not prepare to face such a strategy should not complain that their opponent "has to rely on sites". They should realize that they have been outwitted, and next time not be caught without oil in their lamp. Building a deck that takes aim at a common weak point in others decks is simply good strategy, not being "weak".

 

If you like a faster or more "basic" game, then I can see that you would not prefer sites. I really appreciate the added strategy that sites give. I especially like the cards that are improved if you have certain sites in your territory.
