A Board-Developing Deck that Buffs Ward

Ward Havencraft is a Deck that creates a strong board by buffing Ward followers with Wilbert, Desolate Paladin's Crest. Since most of the Deck consists of Ward followers, it is also a very durable Deck.

Ward Havencraft - How to Play

Prepare and Stall in the Early Game

Ward Havencraft truly shines after playing Wilbert, Desolate Paladin. Therefore, in the early game, play low-Cost Followers and Amulets to set up your Hand and Field.

Play Wilbert

By Playing and Evolving Wilbert, Desolate Paladin, the Stats of Ward Followers that come into play will be buffed thanks to his Crest. To make him easier to play, it's a good idea to have Pact of the Beast Princess or Dose of Holiness on the Field.

Develop a Ward Field

After playing Wilbert, Desolate Paladin, use cards like Aether, Empyrean Guardian to develop your Field and overwhelm your opponent with a high-Stat Ward Field. By Super-Evolving Aether, Empyrean Guardian, your Ward followers get +1/+4 (combined with the Crest) and she also gains Aura, allowing you to create a very resilient Field.

Further Strengthen Your Field

Buffed Ward Followers tend to stay on the Field, so further strengthen your Field with Olivia, Heroic Dark Angel or Jeanne, Saintly Knight and go on the offensive.

Play Lapis and Hold On

Ward Havencraft is a Deck that can't deal Damage unless Followers remain on the Field, but if you can play Lapis, Shining Seraph while your opponent is slowed down by clearing your Field, you can drag the game out and fight tenaciously. Developing Ward Followers on the same Turn to hide Lapis, Shining Seraph is a powerful move.

Mulligan Guide for the Ward Havencraft

Cards for the Early Game

Wilbert, Desolate Paladin	Serene Sanctuary
Pact of the Beast Princess	Grimnir, Heavenly Gale

Wilbert, Desolate Paladin is a core card of the Deck, so you should always keep him. Additionally, it's recommended to keep 1-2 low-cost Followers or Amulets to fill out your early game plays.

Keep Aether and Wilbert

If you have two cards you can play in the early game and Wilbert, Desolate Paladin in your opening hand, keeping Aether, Empyrean Guardian as well will allow you to make strong plays from the early to late game.

Keep Salefa

From the early game, against Decks that swarm the board, Salefa, Guardian of Water is also a card you can keep by itself.
