Fay Twinkletoes	- Increases field clearing ability in the early to mid-game - Can also deal damage if Aria, Lady of the Woods's effect is active
Aerin, Crystalian Frostward	- Strengthens your defense - Has its pros and cons compared to Odin, Twilit Fate - Strong in mirror matches and against Aggro matchups
Aria, Lady of the Woods	- Makes it easier to aim for lethal with split damage - Also makes it easier to achieve a One-Turn Kill with Storm A good inclusion if you have it.

Boasts Power Close to the Original While Being Budget-Friendly

Free-to-play Forestcraft is a Deck based on Pixie and Combo themes. The Killer Rhinoceroach Combo has the same power as the original Pixie Forestcraft, so despite being a budget Deck, it has enough power to compete on par with meta Decks.

Free-to-Play Forestcraft - How to Play

Gather Fairies in the Early Game

In the early game, replenish your resources with cards that add Fairies to your hand. Depending on the opponent's deck, you can either develop your field or remove their followers.

Playing Godwood Staff Early Game Saves Resources

By playing Godwood Staff in the early game, you can recover resources while playing cards, making it much easier to play Fairies and combo cards.

Survive the Mid-Game with Removal

In the mid-game, control the field with low-cost removal like Lily, Crystalian Innocence and May, Journey Elf, or AOE from Glade, Fragrantwood Ward, while trying to draw key cards like Aria, Lady of the Woods, Bayle, Luxglaive Warrior, and Killer Rhinoceroach.

Play Aria, Lady of the Woods and Attack with Fairies

Once you get Aria, Lady of the Woods on the field, all your Pixie followers (Fairies) will have Storm, so keep dealing damage to the enemy leader.

Able to Win Without Aria

Even if you can't draw Aria, Lady of the Woods, if you have Godwood Staff on the field and have drawn Killer Rhinoceroach and Bayle, Luxglaive Warrior, there are cases where you can snatch a win with just the Storm damage from Killer Rhinoceroach, provided you've been attacking the enemy leader as much as possible with the followers you've played.

Finish with Killer Rhinoceroach

Play the 0- to 1-cost cards you've gathered in your hand to build up your Combo count and aim for big damage. If you have Godwood Staff on the field, you can deal a large amount of damage efficiently by saving 6 PP for the end and following this sequence: Killer Rhinoceroach → Engage Godwood Staff to bounce Killer Rhinoceroach → Killer Rhinoceroach.

Don't Hesitate to Use Killer Rhinoceroach If You Have 2 in Hand

With Killer Rhinoceroach, you can often aim for big damage, so if you have two or more in a hand, it's okay to use it during the mid-game.

Mulligan Guide for the Free-to-Play Forestcraft

Keep Fairy-Creating Cards and Followers

Fairy Convocation

Fairy Fencer

Titania, Queen of Fairies

In the early game, keep Fairy-creating cards. This stabilizes your board development and subsequent combo plays, so it's generally recommended to keep one of these in any matchup.

Keep Destroy Cards for Matchups with Strong Fields

Glade, Fragrantwood Ward	May, Journey Elf
Lily, Crystalian Innocence	Ambush from Above

It's recommended to keep these destroy cards for matchups that develop a strong field.

Keep Godwood Staff Along with Fairy-Creating or Destroy Cards

If you have two or more Fairy-creating cards, or a Fairy-creating card plus May, and an opening hand that allows you to recover the tempo loss from playing Godwood Staff, you can keep them as a set.

Keep Bayle Against Mid-Range to Slow Decks

Against decks that give you time to prepare, you should keep Bayle to ensure you can play him for 0 cost during the Killer Rhinoceroach combo in the late game.
