Quick winning principles
- Open breaches 1-4 before 5-6—cheaper breaches fund expensive ones.
- Spell charges: hold for nemesis turn card break, not random damage.
- Deck order: count cards—know when Power Ritual comes.
- Focus fire: all mages target same nemesis minion.
Ideal strategy
- 1
Breach opening order: breaches 1-4 cost less; open 1-2 round 1, 3-4 round 2, 5-6 when spells need them.
- 2
Spell charge timing: charge spells to break nemesis turn card (minion spawn, attack)—not for incremental damage.
- 3
Deck order exploitation: no shuffle means card 15 is always Power Ritual—plan 15 turns ahead.
- 4
Nemesis minion focus: all players target same minion—killing one prevents damage; spreading kills none.
- 5
Market composition: buy spells that scale with breaches open; don't buy before breaches ready.
- 6
Mage pairing: Mist + Brama for spell charge generation; Xev for breach opening discount.
