Munchkin Deck building suggestions wanted - Page 2

Hi all:

I finally got Munchkin 4 the need for steeds last weekend from local store so here are what I have at the moment:

Munchkin Core, Munchkin booster packs 1,4,5,6 and 7. I don't like to introduce more into the game as the I prefer the flavour of the theme to stay in classic fantasy and dungeon crawling(I am a DND fan anyway).

So, here is my question: how to build a good deck?

I analyzed the original deck from the core set and noticed that:

95/168 = 56.5% cards are doors
73/168 = 43.5% cards are treasures
the rest is omitted here...

I came up with a deck of 120 doors which contains 41 monsters and 80 treasures, so all together that was 200 cards.

However, I cannot drop any hiring or steed related cards into the deck for the following reasons:

My deck is with all Races and Classes:

Races : Human, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Halfling and Orc
Classes : Warrior, Wizard, Cleric, Thief, Bard and Ranger

To support those I've already added lots of cards into it. Also I included 20 curses in the doors. Therefore there is no room for steeds and/or hirings unless I continue to increase the size of the doors, which would then have the side-effect to increase the size of the treasures so as to keep the ratio...

Is there any general recommendations for effectively building a deck that is not too big(otherwise most cards would not have the chance to be used in a game) but is balanced so no win could be granted without the twists and turns.

BTW, I am looking for a similar site like this : http://deckbox.org/, which is a online deck-building utility for Munchkin. I am not sure about the rules here, if there is no such a one at the moment, what is your say if I, a programmer, develop a website and open it for public? with information on card details or just the names? I found it pretty hard to share my deck here without a lot of typings (I type too much everyday:( )

As always, many thanks in advance!
