Control Field with Puppetry Followers

Puppet Portalcraft is a deck that excels at controlling the field while advancing positions. It is effective at taking control by destroying the opponent's followers without using Evolution Points (EP), pressuring the field, and gaining an advantage from the resource difference.

Puppet Portalcraft - How to Play

Use Puppetry to Clear and Build Board

In the early game, Play low-Cost Followers to build up your Field, and use the Puppetry added to your Hand to clear the opponent's Field.

Destroy with Puppetry, Attack Leader with Followers

By using Puppetry for destruction, the Followers you played in the early game can more easily Attack the Leader, and if you can chip away at the Leader's health here, it becomes easier to aim for lethal with Orchis, Newfound Heart.

Use Zwei and Noah to Control Mid-Game

By playing Zwei, Symphonic Heart or Noah, Thread of Death, you can destroy without using an EP (Evolution Point), while forcing the opponent to use strong destruction or an EP (Evolution Point). If you can save your EP (Evolution Point), you'll have more options in the late game.

Use Odin to Chip Damage on Opportunity

Odin, Twilit Fate is a valuable source of Damage. If you can Attack the Leader before playing Orchis, Newfound Heart, subsequent plays like repeatedly playing Orchis will become dramatically more effective. It's also an excellent finisher that doesn't require EP (Evolution Point) after both players have run out of them.

Attack by Super-Evolving Orchis

Once you have enough Damage in your Hand to finish the opponent, Super-Evolve Orchis, Newfound Heart and Attack the enemy Leader with Storm Puppetry. By saving up Puppets in your Hand, you can turn the Field around while dealing massive Damage.

Mulligan Guide for the Puppet Portalcraft

Keep Lovestruck Puppeteer, Eudie, and Orchis Individually

Lovestruck Puppeteer

Eudie, Maiden Reborn

Orchis, Newfound Heart

Keeping Lovestruck Puppeteer and Eudie, Maiden Reborn will stabilize your early game as they are strong in the early game against any matchup. Also, be sure to keep Orchis, Newfound Heart, who can reliably lead to victory in the late game. Even if you don't have other low-cost cards, it's fine to keep them individually since the deck contains many low-cost cards.

Keep a Set of Two Low-Cost Cards and a Mid-Game Card

Zwei, Symphonic Heart

Noah, Thread of Death

Zwei and Noah, Thread of Death are powerful followers that can remove threats in the mid-game without using EP (Evolution Point) while establishing a strong board to force the opponent to use their EP (Evolution Point). Therefore, if you have secured your early game plays with low-cost cards like 2 or 3-cost cards, it's also a good idea to keep one mid-cost card.

Keep Removal According to the Opponent's Plays

Phildau, Lionheart Ward

Puppet Theater

It is recommended to keep Puppet Theater against decks that swarm the board with small followers in the early game, and Phildau, Lionheart Ward against decks that play powerful followers around turns 4 and 5.
