Anywho, I am pretty much a newbie to DCSS. This is my furthest char (but not the highest leveled; I'm guessing the XP penalty for kills you didn't help in kind of got me here).

So, I have to admit that Nemelex and his Decks of Summoning are quite overpowered; I could rely on them for anything but the popcorniest popcorn. Got down to Lair 7 before heading back up into Orc; I wasn't sure when things would get too hairy, but I heard that it happens pretty quickly so I jumped ship as soon as things started heating up. Unfortunately my Kobold was nearly useless in melee combat; I had cards equipped 90% of time. Vampire Mosquitoes took care of most of the Lair for me, while a Hasted Bone Dragon obliterated almost all the High Priests in the mines. Unfortunately, a rogue Hellion caught me off guard with a burst of Hellfire and took me out.
Anywho, any tips on what I could of done better? I do like Summoners; do kobolds make good summoners? Or should I swap my race out for something a bit more fine tuned to that? Another big issue I found was the lack of something considerably stronger then Summon Imp. Imps are good and all until you start delving a few levels into the Lair; by that point any considerably strong monster will rip through them in just a turn or two.
Thoughts?
