The game
Clash of Decks can be a bit puzzley. Take some time to calculate what will happen when you play your cards.
Make sure you know the cards and the symbols. Many games are lost by forgetting about the effect of certain powers (symbols), such as casting an incantation on an indestructible creature.
Destroy the opponents Fort, not just their creatures. Do not be afraid to take damage to your Fort/Outpost.
It is good strategy to ignore a lane in which the opponent has creatures that do little damage. You may in fact try to trap some low damage dealing creatures in a lane.
Lastly note that by playing card to the left of you Fort, since they return to the right, your Fort regenerates. By that same mechanic it is sometimes good not to play a card from the right of your Fort.
The draw, when playing with initiation pack
In the initiation pack, without expansions, there are 28 cards of which 16 will show up in a draw. (There is an info line which claims 32 cards are in the initiation pack, but I do not see 32)
List of cards:
Aberration Abomination Alpha Assassin Brute Carapace Gnome Grrr Lieutenant Machine Martyr Microctopus Mutant Ogre Parasite Partisan Reptile Revenant Scribe Shaman Troll Vortex Zombie
Annihilation Boom! Combustion Cyclone Meteorite
Good cards:
- Vortex
- Martyr
- Brute
- Boom!
- Annihilation
- Troll
- Ogre
- Carapace
- Aberration
- Shaman
- Parasite
Combos to try to get:
- Parasite with Vortex
- Shaman with some of: Abomination, Alpha, Microctopus, Ogre, Revenant, Zombie
- Troll with Boom!
- Multiple cards with sprint such as: Assassin, Mutant, Reptile
Changing game
- Beware: the programmers sometimes change the cards mid game.
- Changes that happened in the middle of games: Cyclone changed from 6 mana to 5. Scribe now has 3 toughness instead of 2. Revenant has 3 power and 2 toughness instead of 2 power and 3 toughness. Partisan has 3 power instead of 2.
- Sometimes the game supports using incantations during the game, sometimes not. This impacts the power balance between Martyr and Annihilation a lot! And the balance of luck vs skill. And the validity of this strategy guide...
