==Listbuilding 101==
* '''Standard Crew Size is 50 Soulstones''' - This is the tournament standard.
* '''Extra Soulstones are a Resource''' - When you build a crew you will likely have leftover soulstones which can be used by your Master and Henchmen to modify their card flips.
* '''Masters''' - Your Master will be your leader. This will determine both your hiring pool as well as your crews overall play style. There is a bit of wiggle room, but a lot of players can determine what your crew can do from your Master.
* '''Scheme Runners''' - These are models who are fast and able to place scheme markers onto the table reliably.
* '''Beaters''' - These are models you have high damage output.
* '''Support''' - These are models that buff other models.

===Building a Successful Malifaux Crew===
* '''Know your Enemy''' - Players declare their Faction then Leader before building their crew. Take that information and figure out a good counter, but know your opponent can counter you as well. Going up against a Resurrectionist faction? You should probably take something that destroys corpse markers so they can't summon more zombies.
* '''Know your Strategy and Schemes''' - Building a crew that can complete the mission objectives is more important than damage output. Don't take Assassinate if your opponent is taking a durable Master.
* '''Know your Synergies''' - A lot of models have various effects that boost other models. Keep these in mind, because you are paying for these tricks and they can swing entire games.
