Deck That Excels in Field Expansion

Midrange Swordcraft is a deck that takes control of the field with strong plays. Its strategy revolves around draining the opponent's resources by forcing them to deal with your board, then hitting back harder with even more powerful cards.

Mid-range Swordcraft - How to Play

Build Board with Early–Mid Followers

From the early to mid-game, just focus on continuously developing Followers and constantly force your opponent to deal with your board.

Pressure with Albert to Drain Resources

By chipping away at their defense and building a wide field, your opponent will become wary of a lethal from Albert, Levin Stormsaber, so they will use their EP (Evolution Points) to clear your field. Once you see them go on the defensive, push an even stronger field to drain their resources.

Build EP Advantage with Strong Board

Aim to force your opponent to use resources like Super-Evolutions by pushing a strong field with cards like Amalia, Luxsteel Paladin or a Super-Evolved Luminous Magus + Amelia, Silver Captain. In response to their Super-Evolution, use removal that doesn't cost EP, such as Jeno, Levin Axeraider or Ignominious Samurai, to create an EP advantage.

Survive Long Enough to Win

If you can make your opponent use all their EP (Evolution Points), you can then checkmate them by one-sidedly pushing the field while clearing theirs with Amalia, Luxsteel Paladin, Gildaria, Anathema of Peace, and Jeno, Levin Axeraider until an opportunity arises for Albert, Levin Stormsaber to connect.

Mulligan Guide for the Mid-range Swordcraft

Keep a Couple 2-Cost Followers

Prim, Princess's Picnic

Luminous Lancetrooper

Phildau, Lionheart Ward

To stabilize your early game plays, it's recommended to keep up to two 2-Cost Followers that are in your hand.

Valse, Silent Sniper Can Be Kept Alone

Generally, you want to play a Follower from turn 2, but Valse, Silent Sniper has the ability to make up for the Tempo Loss even if you pass the second turn.

One or More Low-Cost Cards + Zirconia, Ironcrown Ward

Zirconia, Ironcrown Ward is a powerful mid-game card, but you can't make the most of its strength if you pass your early turns, so if you have other 2 or 3-Cost cards, keep them together.

Send Back High-Cost Cards

Midrange Swordcraft runs many cards that can develop the board from the mid-game onwards, so the probability of drawing them is high even without keeping them in your hand. Therefore, it's more consistent to look for cards that cost 4 or less during the prep phase.
