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 Puppets to Clear and Build Board

In the early game, Play low-Cost Followers to build up your Field, and use the Puppets added to your Hand to destroy your opponent's cards and clear their side of the board.

Destroy Opponent Cards with Puppets

By using Puppets to destroy your opponent's cards, the Followers you played in the early game can have a chance to attack your opponent's Leader directly, and to slowly chip away at their health to finish 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 your opponent's cards without using an EP (Evolution Point), and forcing the opponent to spend their own EPs to protect themselves. 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 packs serious damage and can be a clutch finisher. If you can sneak in an attack on the enemy Leader before dropping Orchis, Newfound Heart, you’ll be able to set yourself up for some follow-ups. 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're able to do enough damage to your opponent and you're setting yourself up for a finish, you can Super-Evolve Orchis, Newfound Heart and attack the enemy Leader with Puppets who will be imbued with the Storm attribute. Holding onto some Puppets in your hand lets you flip the board and dish out serious damage for a finisher when it counts.

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.
