A Deck that aims to end the match early with Ambush and Storm Followers

Ambush Swordcraft is a deck that attacks in the mid-game using Storm followers together with followers in Ambush. It has high burst damage and is strong against Combo decks.

Ambush Swordcraft - How to Play

Use Followers in Early to Mid Game

In the early to mid game, continuously develop your board with Followers and attack the enemy Leader. Especially, the play of buffing your swarmed Followers with Zirconia, Ironcrown Ward is powerful.

Set Up Ambush

Watch for a moment when the opponent's field is weak and set up Ambush. By keeping an Ambush Follower on the field, you can deal explosive damage from the next turn onwards.

Finish by Dealing Damage From Hand

In the late game, leverage your follower with Ambush in combination with direct damage finishers such as Odin, Twilit Fate and Albert, Levin Stormsaber. Odin's ability to ignore Ward effects and target the leader directly enhances the consistency of your lethal setup. When timed correctly, this Ambush combo enables a high-pressure burst turn that neutralizes board-based Ward defenses, maximizing reach and minimizing counterplay opportunities.

Mulligan Guide for the Ambush Swordcraft

Keep Low-Cost Followers and Zirconia, Ironcrown Ward

Flashstep Quickblader	Prim, Princess's Picnic
Grimnir, Heavenly Gale	Zirconia, Ironcrown Ward

This Deck aims to play multiple Followers and attack the enemy Leader in the early game, so keep 1, 2, and 3-Cost cards and Zirconia, Ironcrown Ward.

Keep a Set of Two or More Low-Cost Cards + a High-Cost Card

Odin, Twilit Fate

Gildaria, Anathema of Peace

Keeping a combination of two or more low-Cost cards for your early game plays and a high-Cost card will allow you to stabilize your plays into the late game.
