Your game plan
Early turns
Choose a payoff and learn which cards your enablers can discard. Hand order and targeting text matter more than spending all your Energy.
Build the engine
Recheck your hand after every draw or generated card. Use controlled discards when the target is valuable; avoid treating random discards as guaranteed hits.
Find the finish
Plan how to spend both your Energy and board slots. Preserve the finisher your line needs, and count how much power must go into each contested lane.
Missing a card?
Swap enablers by targeting behavior, not only by cost. A random discard effect is a different risk from a card that selects a particular target.
An Apocalypse plan and a resurrection plan need different hands and payoffs. If you lack the central payoff, change the plan instead of replacing one card and assuming the combo still works.
Common mistakes
- Discarding before checking which card is currently eligible.
- Keeping too many expensive payoffs and too few ways to enable them.
- Using a discard effect that can remove the only remaining winning play.
Try the plan
Build around the cards you own. Check live effects, then compare public decks before committing resources.
