User blog comment:XPGUSXP/Good Epic Decks ???/@comment-5397162-20130108180954

Neither 1 nor 2. A good epic deck consists of high dmg cards with low force. It's generally a bad idea to use S+ cards because of their high force requirements. The same goes for the boss reward cards, they often have very high force requirements and this makes them bad for the epic deck.

I use cards like: SAS, Dia, WD, Panther, Tiger Shark and Pirate. All maxed, and of course it changes depending on the bosses weakness. I'm not saying my cards are fantastic, cause they are not, but it makes more sense than what you're suggesting.
