Chip Away the Opponent's Health with Intimidate and Storm

Phase Dragoncraft is a Deck that takes advantage of the stickiness of Intimidate Followers to continuously attack the enemy Leader. Ultimately, it aims to land a hit with Forte, Blackwing Dragoon, who has both Storm and Intimidate.

Face Dragoncraft - How to Play

Playing Fan of Otohime on Turn 1 is Ideal

Fan of Otohime is a card that lets you turn unneeded cards in your Hand into 2 Storm damage by paying 3 Cost. If you can play it on Turn 1 without issue, it will be easier to deal damage later, making your plays smoother, so it's the move you want to aim for most on Turn 1.

Play Low-Cost Followers

In the early game of Face Dragoncraft, you should develop low-Cost Followers. Little Dragon Nanny in particular can summon an Intimidate Follower, and if it manages to survive, it can sometimes deal 3-4 damage on its own, making it a Follower you want to Play proactively.

Controlling the Field is Also Important

Face Dragoncraft relies on Intimidate and Storm for its Field presence and damage, so if you don't control the Field at all and trade blows with a Mid-Range type Deck, you will be overwhelmed by the damage on their Field. When your opponent has a better field, you should focus on controlling the Field.

Control Bare Minimum to Avoid Losing

The decision of whether to control the Field or not should be based on whether your opponent can defeat you before you can defeat them. Understanding the damage that can be dealt from your opponent's Hand will make it easier to win.

Attack with Intimidate/Storm Followers

From the mid-game onwards, focus on reducing the enemy Leader's Defense with Followers that have Intimidate or Storm and aim for the finish. If you use an Evolution on an Intimidate Follower and it isn't dealt with, you can get a huge return.

Intimidate Survives -> Olivia's Move is Powerful

In particular, using Olivia's effect on a surviving Intimidate Follower is powerful and is one of this Deck's strong win conditions.

Mulligan Guide for the Face Dragoncraft

Keep Forte, Blackwing Dragoon and Early Game Plays

Fan of Otohime

Little Dragon Nanny

Forte, Blackwing Dragoon

This Deck aims to line up Followers from the early game to attack the enemy Leader, so keep low-Cost Followers. Also, since Forte, Blackwing Dragoon is a powerful ace in this Deck, it's a good idea to keep her regardless of the rest of your Hand.

Turn 2-3 Plays + Keeping Marion, Ravishing Dragonewt

Fan of Otohime

Little Dragon Nanny

Marion, Ravishing Dragonewt

Since playing a Follower on turn 2 or 3 and following up with Marion, Ravishing Dragonewt is a strong move, it's powerful to keep a Follower playable on turns 2-3 and Marion, Ravishing Dragonewt as a set.

Going Second: Keep Followers with Removal

Apollo, Heaven's Envoy

Draconic Berserker

When going second against Aggro or Mid-Range Decks, your opponent can develop their Followers first, making it easy to lose in a trade-off. Keep Followers with removal to avoid being overwhelmed in the fight for field control.

Going Second: Two Low-Cost Cards + Liu Feng + Forte

Searing Firenewt	Little Dragon Nanny
Liu Feng, Goldennote Ward	Forte, Blackwing Dragoon

When going second, keeping two Followers playable on turns 1-3, plus Liu Feng, Goldennote Ward and Forte, Blackwing Dragoon, will allow for a smooth curve up to turn 5. Since you can Play Forte, Blackwing Dragoon on turn 5 even without using a Bonus Play Point, it's recommended to use a Bonus Play Point in the early game to line up Followers.
