F2P Earth Rite Runecraft

Free-to-Play (F2P) Runecraft is a F2P deck that only uses the core parts of Earth Rite Runecraft. It can be powerful if you use Norman, Adamant Alchemist, and Lilanthim, Anathema of Edacity well.

Free-To-Play Runecraft - How to Play

Accumulate Earth Sigils in the Early to Mid-Game

In the early game, use cards like Witch's New Brew, Penelope, Potions Prodigy, and Enchanting Perfumer to build up your Earth Sigil stack. Accumulating Earth Sigils will lead to powerful plays in the mid to late game.

Consume Earth Sigils to Clear Multiple Followers

If your opponent starts to build a wide field, use Sagelight Teachings or Edelweiss, Sagelight Ward to clear it. Its powerful removal using Earth Sigils makes it strong against early-game board swarms (horizontally), which is one of the deck's main strengths.

Develop a Board of Multiple Wards with Norman

If you have plenty of Defense, play Norman, Adamant Alchemist and use his Fanfare and Evolution to pressure the opponent with Guardian Golems that have Barrier.

Can Also Restore Defense or Draw Cards if Your Defense is Low

Instead of summoning Guardian Golems, Norman, Adamant Alchemist can also be used to restore Defense or draw cards. Making good use of the Restore and draw options when your Defense is low or you're short on cards in your hand will allow for more flexible plays and increase your win rate.

Get Lilanthim on the Field

By saving up a large amount of stack by 8 Play Points, when you play Lilanthim, Anathema of Edacity, it will be nearly indestructible. If it stays on the field, keep supplying Earth Sigils to maintain it, clear enemy followers, and attack the enemy leader with Lilanthim.

Mulligan Guide for the Free-To-Play Runecraft

Keep Cards that Create Earth Sigils

Witch's New Brew	Melvie, Adoring Witch
Penelope, Potions Prodigy	Enchanting Perfumer

You should keep cards that summon Earth Sigils to the field because playing them in the early game allows you to cycle through your deck and strengthen your plays from the mid-game onward.

Keep Earth Sigil Creators and Mid-Cost Cards Together

Juno

Norman

Edelweiss

If you have kept 1-2 cards that create Earth Sigils, it's a good idea to also keep strong mid-game cards. In particular, Norman is a core card of this deck, so you should actively try to keep him.

Always Keep Lilanthim

Lilanthim is this deck's finisher, but since the Free-To-Play (F2P) Runecraft deck only runs one copy of Lilanthim, it's recommended to keep it if it's in your hand. Focus on building your field with Norman and then transitioning to Lilanthim.
