First, sorry for the late reply - I had taken a short vacation from the internet. Oh, and a happy new year!
There's a very practical reason for the inclusion of the Forgotten Lore cycle:
I have introduced a new player to CoC, and we decided to start small and then slowly increase our card-pool (about one expansion every 1-2 months).
We originally started in roughly chronological order, so Forgotten Lore was the first cycle we added.
Due to limited availability of expansions we've since mixed up things a bit.
Here's our current card-pool, listed in the order we added expansions (as far as I can remember):
- 2x Core (later added a third)
- Forgotten Lore
- Secrets of Arkham
- Summons of the Deep
- The Key and the Gate
- Terror in Venice
- The Yuggoth Contract
- The Order of the Silver Twilight
I'm basically just posting the decks I liked most, after I'm done playing them, i.e. before adding a new expansion to the pool
I'm quite happy with the approach we've taken. It really allows you to get a fresh look at some overlooked or rarely played cards.
I've also found it takes me less time to build decks if I don't have to consider the whole card pool - definitely a big plus!
