Deck size adjustment and card reveal

I would like to suggest a change in the number of cards a player can carry at once. I'd ask to increase the limit by 1 so that 7 card decks are possible. My current army is like this:

For GDI, its Missile Squad, Shock-wave Trooper, Grenadier, War Dogs, Rhino and Predator

For Nod, its, Laser Squad, Flame Trooper, Mutant Marauder, Cyber Wheels, Buggy and Tick Tank

Notice that in both decks, I lack a powerful anti-air unit for certain units like Basilisk, Kodiak, Orca Bomber and Inferno. I would like to have a 7th unit to be able to deal with those threats.

Now for the 2nd part of the suggestion, card reveals. If you have a epic card in your deck, it has a 30% chance of being revealed to your opponent, on the same slot, but in the background and slightly raised. On that 30%, your opponent know's what epic card you have, but on the 70%, it reveals the wrong unit. Lets say I brought a JJT with me, it has a 70% chance of being shown to my enemy as a wolverine, Sniper or APC. I also suggested Legendary cards before: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/King-of-tech-units/m-p/7904017#M8419

Legendary cards have a 70% chance of being revealed, otherwise it shows the wrong unit.

    Reaching tib could be just as bad as Elizabeth Sweeney at the olympics.

    @EinarThePillager There is nothing chance based during a match right now and we don't need a feature that provides misinformation. If the game uses a best of 1 format (you most likely play against an opponent only 1 time in a row), than don't make it worse!


    Maybe the reveal should only apply to tech units. It would only reveal a fraction of the tech units he's using and if it fails, it doesn't show a different epic units. There are a lot of people that I have heard that complained about tech, and if 1 or 2 tech units get revealed early, players might have an easier time if they don't harvester harass the opponent. I mean if you claim the pad and not touch the enemy harvesters, chances are, on the 2nd nuke, you will lose it cause of all the tech that pops out from your enemy's base. I often meet certain opponents more than once, this usually occurs if I stay in one rank.

    @AlphonseDisciple I always ment the deck itself to be good on equal or lower levels, like at least 8/10 challenge wins in Masters.

    @EinarThePillager Knowing the average tiberium cost of your opponen't deck could be enough.

    Your correct with knowing the average tiberium cost. One would be able to tell if the opponent is teching if one of every unit of his costs a total of 500 or more. If his deck costs somewhere near 100, then this means he's going to try and rush you and claim a fast victory. I'm more in the need for a bigger deck than actually reveal ling the enemy's deck. Right now, my deck struggles from air units and would like to bring phantoms/hammerheads as a 7th unit. The only time I'd wish to have my opponent's deck revealed is that they are bringing in top tier tech units. Those are Disruptors, Flame Tanks, Artilleries, Juggernauts, Avatar and Mammoths. This is so that I am prepared for a very tough match once one of those units appear after the 1st missile is launched.

    Part of the game is not knowing what your opponents have. It wouldn’t work anyway. So you see my fake deck and I see your fake deck. We both change it. Or you see my real deck and I change it anyway. Same thing. 

    It’ll never happen.

    What about like a selection screen? Like Streetfighter. Where you see your opponents choosing their deck. And there’s a countdown timer. So like after 10 seconds the selections are locked. So you can either choose your deck and be guaranteed to have what you want, or play the back and forth game and try to last second keep switching your deck to react to what your opponent is doing/choosing. 

    That at might be interesting.
