Deckbuilding

Basics

A basic deck should attempt to deliver a winning situation, and to do that stay functional and relevant as the game progresses, the available mana increases and the opponent plays threats. Common advice for beginners is:

  • Have 9+ useful minions with cost 1-2, as it's good to play something on the first turn
  • Some cards with Dispel or Transform that will allow to deal with massive threats
  • Ability to use all available mana every turn: Card draw, a good mana curve (good span in individual card cost)
  • A couple of late-game bombs, that win the game if the opponent has no counter.

The game has endless possibilities and the above are just guidelines to help new players in the general direction of a good first deck. Many advanced decks build on these guidelines, many others are specialized in sometimes drastically different ways.

There exist different Deck Archetypes. For more depth and advanced discussions, please see Deckbuilding.
