Control Deck With Damage Sourced From Marwynn, Despair Manifest

Crest Havencraft is a deck that is able to control the field and attack the enemy leader using the Crest from Marwynn, Despair Manifest. It's even more powerful if you can skillfully use removal cards to get damage through.

Crest Havencraft Deck - How to Play

Prepare Until Your Evolution Turns

In the early game, focus on drawing cards and playing Grimnir, Heavenly Gale to build up Crests and maintain high defense.

Aim to Get Marwynn's Crest

Once you can Evolve, aim to Play and Evolve Marwynn.

Destroy the Field While Gaining Crests

After deploying Marwynn, use removal and Crests to control the board while steadily fueling your Crest engine. The key to victory is channeling Crest damage into the enemy leader at every opportunity, tightening the noose turn by turn until lethal is inevitable.

Finish Them Off with Shining Disenchantment or Sweetness of Voracity

When the game reaches its final stages and your opponent’s defense is running low, clear their field and unleash Shining Disenchantment or Sweetness of Voracity. By delivering your damage in quick bursts, you leave little room for them to recover through healing to land your finishing blow.

Mulligan Guide for the Crest Havencraft

Keep Marwynn, Congregant of Repose, and Grimnir

Marwynn, Despair Manifest

Congregant of Repose

Grimnir, Heavenly Gale

Marwynn, Despair Manifest is the most important card here, so to increase your chances of drawing it, you should basically do everything you can to find Marwynn and Congregant of Repose.

Keep Grimnir as an exception

Grimnir should be retained only when you can play him ahead of Marwynn. This sequencing ensures Crest activation from Grimnir → Marwynn. This way, Crest triggers in the right order and Marwynn’s damage hits clean.

Redraw Grimnir Against Aggro Decks

In matchups against aggro decks, the need for immediate board control outweighs Crest sequencing. Mulligan Grimnir in favor of Marwynn, Congregant of Repose, or Blinding Faith to stabilize and survive your early turns.

Keep Blinding Faith Against Early Board Pressure

Against decks like Swordcraft that develop early boards and push damage quickly, Blinding Faith is a reliable tool for clearing followers and regaining momentum.
