Resources: 55 Card Decks




1999 United States Championship Winnah! - Lord Ogre
Download 1999 United States Champion Deck sent in by Lord Ogre, winner of the 1999 US Championship and Spellfire Judge Extraordinaire.


1st Edition 55 - Tim "Kythrain" Barth
Download 55 card deck, all from 1st edition 1-400. There's a dungeon in there, but you can take it out for added realism. FR-GH wizard spell deck.


1st Edition GreyHawk - Unknown
Download This deck contains 55 1st Edition Greyhawk cards. No cards from boosters were used to make this deck, so there are no Rule cards, no Dungeon, no Avatars, etc.

If you are the author of this deck, please e-mail me so that I can give you proper credit.


1st Edition Wizards - Sorrow
Download This is the very first deck I built. It contains only cards I own (which means no chase), with the exception of the dungeon. It is basically a spell casters deck.


2 Avatars - Bill Hellar
Download This Cleric based deck is based on getting the Lady of Fate hooked up with the Boots of Farfagnugen. If the Avatars are getting pummeled, break out the Time of Troubles and the wimps.


3's Company - Bill Hellar
Download 3 Champions, lots o allies, all realms can defend themselves.


9/9/99 9's Deck - Steve "StEvil" Brazelton
Download In honor of the cool date 9/9/99, we made a 9's deck. This deck previously was only released with the 09 Sep 1999 version of CrossFire.


AD&D Wizards - Bill Hellar
Download Fun with Wizard Spells and the Spellbook of Drawmij


All C's - Paladin
Download You guessed it: All the cards start with the letter "C". Coming soon: The "All D's" deck, after initial playtesting is complete.


Assassination - Brandon
Download This deck focuses on champions and allies with avenging powers, and offensive support cards to destroy your opponent(s).


Booga's - Bill Hellar
Download A deck I can only have thanks to the fine team Crossfire!! To make this deck I would need to pull cards from 15 other decks and get about 5 other cards that I don't own.


Brandon's Undead Deck - Brandon
Download An Undead theme deck.


Championless Deck - Paladin
Download Not exactly championless, that one is still in the works, but 0 levels in champs, lots of spells, and cards that can be used as multiple types. Lots-O-Fun!


Chizo's Undead Deck - Juan "Chizo" Pablo
Download Undead deck.


Classic Dragon - Roger McKay
Download This dragon-themed deck uses the 55 Card Online Classic Format. It also has one No Edition card in it.


Cleric Deck - Paladin
Download Not much in the way of combat here. Mostly depends on the Lady of Fate to win battle. But it uses all of the glyph cards sooo...


Color By Number - Drew "Anandakin" Massingill
Download Ok. I was bored. This deck runs in numerical order. There is one card 1/100, one 2/100, all the way through 55. Not bad, since I tried to make it as useful as possible with the restrictions. :)


Da Ladies - Bill Hellar
Download All of the cards feature females or creatures that could be either... or neither! Five cards are the exception to this rule. Can't do without Wish, Limited Wish and Spellturning.


Draw Bastard - Flameskull
Download This deck is the result of putting lots of cards that make your opponents draw and discard together. After years of play, I have refined those type cards to reflect more emphasis on combat. Although defense is never problem with Spiderfell in A with the Caves of Mystery attached.


DragonFire - Draxon Varradami
Download Dragon deck relying primarily on spells, but able to handle combat as well. Tournament powered.


The Dreaded POL Deck - Drew "Anandakin" Massingill
Download Well.. SOMEONE had to post one. :) This one has actually worked very well for me. Highly functional. CAUTION: PLAY AT YOUR OWN RISK.


Drow 55 - Tim "Kythrain" Barth
Download All drow, UD realms, pretty self explanatory.


Color By Number - Drew "Anandakin" Massingill
Download Ok. I was bored. This deck runs in numerical order. There is one card 1/100, one 2/100, all the way through 55. Not bad, since I tried to make it as useful as possible with the restrictions. :)


Elemental Fury! - Drew "Anandakin" Massingill
Download Don't expect to brawl with this one :) Cards containing "fire", "earth", "land", "water", "element", "sea" "lightning", etc. Fun, but will be punished by a tournament deck.


Elric's Dragonlance Deck v4 - Jay "Elric" Weber
Download This is the 4th incarnation of my Dragonlance deck. All of the Realms and Champions are either Dragonlance, or feature pictures of Dragonlance characters, except for the Celestial Emperor, who's one of my fav avatars. =D


Elric's Forgotten Realms Deck - Jay "Elric" Weber
Download This deck is based off of a friends FR deck, except for two big diferences: It contains only cards I own, and it's legal! The original version was constructed under the old 1st Edition Deck Construction Rules, so it has multiple copies of cards.


Halflings Abound! - Drew Massingill
Download A deck for the little people. Well balanced, but won't stand for very long against the mad power decks. Fun for the theme, though. One of my personal favorites, though I haven't won with it yet...


Here There Be Dragons! - Drew "Anandakin" Massingill
Download Fun deck, not a ton of power and speed.


Hodge Podge - Jay "Elric" Weber
Download This is the 2nd incarnation of my Dragonlance deck. It's full name is The Hodge-Podge One Ally High Magic Event Deck. I think that pretty much sums it up... =D


Hodge Podge '99 - Jay "Elric" Weber
Download This is the 3rd incarnation of my Dragonlance deck. This time around, I attempt to protect my butt from more offensive cards, as well as throw in a few of my own. I've won a lot with this one, but only against my friends who had about the same amount of cards as myself. =D


I'm Only Happy When It Drains - Germán Enrique García (LUC)
Download You like combat and to win at the same time? Here is a deck made to fight speed. The Undeads can turn the tide in your favor!


Jason's Tournament Deck - Jason "Kronokahn" Kaylor
Download Jason "Kronokahn" Kaylor's 55-Card Tournament Deck


Jazz - Jason "Kronokahn" Kaylor
Download Deck name is JAZZ, but the file name is 55 Card Hope...


Lock 'n' Chase - Drew Massingill
Download A little creativity goes a long ways. The entire deck (except the dungeon, of course...) is composed of chase cards...making it powerful for offense...but remember: no Cataclysm, no Calm, no Good Fortune...lacking defense. Fun to try to overpower people with. :)


Mafia - Bill "War Party" Blanton
Download We gonna make you an offa you can't refuse!! These shadey characters support a surprisingly powerfull combat deck (and pretty good bit of speed!)


Magical Speed - Chan Weinmeister
Download Name says it all...


Menzo in the Moonlight - Germán Enrique García (LUC)
Download Luc's Drow and Werebeast deck. Is really combat oriented, but has no counters against long-range attacks (disintegrate, wish, etc). Anyway, it's a lot of fun to play with, and I assure you it can win many battles. If you are lucky to draw the Assasins Guild - Hallucinatory Terrain - Gib Hcivonad (the special guest)- allies combo, you are really lucky, even more if you put the hallucinatory on the great kingdom and you also pulled the sea barons!!!


Mindwalkers - Draxon Varradami
Download This is a medium-powered deck focusing on psionics. Focuses on attack and designed to shut down spellcasters.


Misted Shrouded Lands - Bill "War Party" Blanton
Download Who says The Mists are wimpy theme?? A good balance of combat, speed, and power. Cards that mess with your opponents hand and draw pile are an added bonus!! (Watch their face when Gib Lhadsemlo and the Shadow Cloak Hijacks thier Good Fortune ;-)


Nice Try... I'm Immune - Grant "Granimal" Mitchell
Download A deck focusing on immunities.


Ogre's Free Abuse - Lord Ogre
Download Lord Ogre's Free Abuse Deck.


Over the Rainbow - Drew "Anandakin" Massingill
Download Word of warning.. this is a weaker deck. As many cards as possible in this deck contain a color in their title somewhere. Forced theme, I suppose. :)


Pat's Legion of (Mostly) Dead - Patrick Votra
Download Another undead theme deck.


Pelmazo's Deck - Johann Bayer
Download In Spanish, "pelmazo" is a slang word for weakling...


Psi/No Magic - Brandon
Download A psionicist theme deck that also shuts down opponents magic, both cleric and wizard.


Racer's Abysmal Deck - Jim "RacerRat" Bazinet
Download This started out a long time ago as a Cleric deck, it's become a recylcing abyss deck with Gib Kcir.


Ravenloft Deck - Paladin
Download Combat oriented with some spell backup.


Sea Queen's Cold War - Germán Enrique García (LUC)
Download Dragonlance deck, no rule card. Very defensive and has a lot of super cards. Not combat oriented.


Speedy! - Drew Massingill
Download This deck is really irritating to play against. Lots of defense, lots of rebuilding, lots of "I'm going to make you discard every good card you have". However... it is fairly successful. Be warned, though...this deck brings out the worst in opponents. :)


Spell Speed - Bill "War Party" Blanton
Download Dont let the name fool you. This deck also has pretty good combat support. Can usually be counted on for 2 or 3 combat razes a game.


Stephen W.'s Thief Deck - Stephen W.
Download A pretty darn good thief deck.


The Rabble - Draxon Varradami
Download An AD&D deck. A mix of spells and attacking power. ONLY AD&D cards.


Thieves - Tim "Kythrain" Barth
Download 55 card thieves deck. Mask avatar, Maze of the Guild dungeon so you can get around those pesky Labyrinth of Castle Greyhawks. Low on counters, good offense.


Things Aren't Always As They Seem - Germán Enrique García (LUC)
Download A Playing to Lose deck. Really annoying deck, and you can have a lot of fun playing it. It's really abyssal, and has some combos you never have room for in a "killer" deck.


Type Dragon - Stephen Thompson
Download Dragon based deck.


Type Hero - Stephen Thompson
Download Hero based deck.


Vaporized - Paladin
Download An instant defeat deck that can kill everything but thieves that are not flyers have a last digit of three.


Wild Elves!!! - Grant "Granimal" Mitchell
Download A deck focusing on elves.


Wizardly Wonders! - Drew Massingill
Download Basic deck of wizards and their magic shenanigans. You're going to blow up realms and draw a lot of cards if your cards come the right way.


World Birthright - Stephen Thompson
Download Birthright deck.
