A Hybrid Deck Combining Puppetry and Artifacts

Puppetry Artifact Portalcraft is a Deck that supplements the early to mid-game plays of Puppetry Portalcraft with Ominous Artifacts. With the addition of Artifact components, it can now make proactive plays on turns 4-6, allowing it to attack while setting up for Orchis, Newfound Heart.

Artifact Puppet Portalcraft - How to Play

Same as Artifact in Early to Mid Game

The playstyle up to the mid-game is the same as the Artifact deck. However, with the addition of Puppetry parts, your options for Hand management and mid-game plays have increased, allowing you to fight more flexibly.

Collect Gears in the Early Game

In the early game, play Gear collecting cards to create Ominous Artifacts. As for Puppetry-related cards, either play them with leftover PP during the match, or prioritize playing them against Decks like Forestcraft and Swordcraft that deploy a lot of followers on the field early game.

Play Artifacts in the Mid-Game

On turns 5-7, while gathering Cores, use Ominous Artifacts if necessary. Alouette, Doomwright Ward collects gears, and makes a copy of artifacts with Evolution, making it a strong play for turns 5-7.

Playing Artifacts it self is an Option

Since the deck runs a limited number of cards that can retrieve Gears, depending on your draws, there are situations where completing Masterwork Artifact is difficult. In that case, shifting to a plan to win with Orchis, Newfound Heart, and Playing the AF in your Hand as a stopgap measure is also an option. The high degree of flexibility in the mid-game is this deck's strength.

Attack with Orchis in the Late Game

From 8 PP onward, Super-Evolve Orchis, Newfound Heart and chip away at the enemy leader's defense. If you've played cards like Ominous Artifact β during the match, it will be easier to reduce their defense.

Ralmia is Inconsistent

You can include Ralmia, Sonic Boom as a flexible slot, but often you will not have 3 Artifacts to use together. Including Ralmia, Sonic Boom makes the decision of whether to abandon the AF plan when you're struggling to gather Artifacts very difficult.

Complete the Masterwork Artifact

After Orchis, Newfound Heart, if you have created the 3 types of Ominous Artifact, finish them off with Masterwork Artifact.

Mulligan Guide for the Artifact Puppet Portalcraft

Keep Orchis and Cards That Create Gear

High priority: Orchis, Newfound Heart, and Alouette
Orchis, Newfound Heart	Alouette, Doomwright Ward
Miriam, the Resolute	Recharge

Basically, keep cards that can retrieve Orchis, Newfound Heart and Gear. Especially, having Alouette, Doomwright Ward, who supports turns 4-7 while you collect Gear and Orchis, Newfound Heart acts as a finisher, will make your mid to late game plays stronger. Also, when going second, it's recommended to keep up to two copies of Alouette, Doomwright Ward to play them repeatedly on turns 4 and 5.

Keep 2-Cost Cards as a Set

Lovestruck Puppeteer

Ironheart Hunter

If you've managed to keep the core cards of the deck mentioned above, keep the 2-cost followers as a set as well to stabilize your early game plays.
