All the Oblique Strategies (without redundancies)All the ObliqueStrategies (without redundancies)Thecomplete list of all five editions ofthe oblique strategies can be found on.Thefollowing isa list of all the strategies, including (parenthetically) whicheditions they appeared in. There are many strategies which arepresentin all or (just as often) all except Edition 4, which differs the mostof any of them. This listing makes for easier reading byeliminatingthe repeated strategies from one deck to the next.There arenearly 200 individual strategies across the five editions of the deckBrian Eno has released over the years. It's hard to give an exactcount, however, because of differences in the wording betweeneditions. Specifically, some strategies were rephrased fordifferent editions even though they state roughly the same intention.I didn't do as detailed as an analysis as I would have liked to, butthere are interesting things revealed about the history of the deck ifyou look closely enough. For example, Edition 1 has eight'orphaned' strategies. These are ones that appeared only in theedition and were then abandoned, most likely because they were toospecific to music, and the goal was that the strategies be applicableto a block in any creative endeavor.
