Detail
- A deck that never lets up, constantly filling your side of the table with a non-stop wave of attackers to keep your opponent overwhelmed. - Use Seofon, Leader of the Eternals to take total control of the match and force your opponent to spend every turn just trying to survive. - It’s incredibly easy to land a massive, winning blow with Sandalphon, Primarch Successor once you’ve worn the enemy leader down.

Swarm the Board With Evolved Followers

Evo Swordcraft pressures the board by swarming from the early game, then powers up its followers in the late game with Seofon, Leader of the Eternals to overwhelm the opponent. Once his Super Skybound Art is charged, Seofon becomes a devastating threat that exerts overwhelming pressure.

Evo Swordcraft Deck - How to Play

Fill Your Side of the Field with Cheap Cards Early On

In the early game, play cards like Serenity's Shield to quickly fill your side of the field with cheap followers. Since Rose, Princess Knight makes it incredibly easy to find a second copy of Yidmetra, Eld Sword from your deck, playing Yidmetra early on is a great move if you don't have anything else to play.

Focus on Playing Lots of Followers in the Mid-Game

As the match progresses, increase your Rally count (the total number of followers you've played) with Zeta & Bea, Crimson and Blue or by spending 4 play points on Serenity's Shield to set up a strong defense. When your Rally count reaches 20, Gildaria, Anathema of Peace will super-evolve all by herself, making her incredible at wiping out enemy attackers. Make sure you actively play followers to hit that number!

Charge Your Ultimate Attacks with Free Evolutions

Gildaria, Anathema of Peace and Golden Knight, True King's Blade are powerful followers that super-evolve for free and can hit multiple enemies at once. Later in the game, use these cards to keep the enemy's side of the field empty while charging up your special ultimate attacks, which can bring you closer to unleashing Seofon, Leader of the Eternals's Super Skybound Art.

Overwhelm the Opponent with Seofon's Ultimate Power

Once Seofon, Leader of the Eternals's Super Skybound Art is fully charged, play him alongside cards that summon many followers at once (like a 4-point Serenity's Shield) to overwhelm your opponent with an army of super-evolved attackers. If your opponent can't figure out a way to take them all out, you will be set up to win the game on your very next turn.

Win the Match with Sandalphon's Ultimate Attack

After flooding the board using Seofon, Leader of the Eternals, you can now deliver the final winning blow using Sandalphon, Primarch Successor. Combine the massive damage caused by knocking enemy followers away with your super-evolved attackers alongside any followers your opponent failed to remove, and use that combined power to finish the game.

Sandalphon Works Perfectly with Heartless Strategist

Heartless Strategist can instantly knock out an enemy, making her a perfect partner for Sandalphon, Primarch Successor. When you have 9 play points to spend, look for moments where you can use Heartless Strategist to take down a powerful enemy defender, paving the way for Sandalphon to deliver the winning blow.

Seal the Deal with a Fully-Powered Albert

Besides Sandalphon, Albert, Levin Stormsaber is another incredible way to win the game. Because Albert can smash through defending followers with Ward (like Springbloom Fairy) while still hitting the enemy leader, he is an especially dangerous threat against Forestcraft opponents.

Boost Albert's Damage with Yidmetra

If you have been playing plenty of Enhance cards throughout the match, evolve Yidmetra, Eld Sword to unlock her special Faith bonus. With her Faith active, a fully-powered Albert played for 9 points will deal a massive 14 damage!

Mulligan Guide for the Evo Swordcraft

Look for Yidmetra, Serenity's Shield, Grimnir, and Rose

Yidmetra, Eld Sword

Serenity's Shield

Rose, Princess Knight

You want to keep cards that let you make a strong move every single turn in the beginning. Keeping Rose is especially good because she can search your deck to find Yidmetra, making it much easier to play Yidmetra as soon as possible.

Keep Seofon if You Have a Good Start

If you already have cheap cards to play in the first few turns, you should keep Seofon. Holding Seofon early helps you charge up his 'Super Skybound Art' meter quickly, allowing you to overwhelm the opponent with powerful attacks later in the game.

How to Counter the Evo Swordcraft

Use Multi-Target Spells Against Their Large Armies

Evolve Swordcraft is a deck with many cards that fill their side of the field with followers like Zirconia and Luminous Magus. Keep spells that can hit multiple targets, like Blinding Faith, in your hand so you are ready to wipe them out. If you leave their followers alive, Seofon will evolve all of them at once, and you risk losing the game to a single massive attack.

Prepare for Gildaria on Turn 6

If you fill your own side of the board by turn 6, the opponent will often try to destroy your followers by evolving Gildaria. If you make sure your followers have 3 or more health, they will survive the 2 damage from Gildaria's Evolution ability, making it much harder for the opponent to take control of the game.

Save an Answer for Seofon's Ultimate Attack

If you cannot clear the field after Seofon uses his "Super Skybound Art," you will usually lose the game immediately. Holding onto powerful board-wiping cards like Unholy Vessel or Raio allows you to destroy their invincible-looking army with just a single card, so always save them for this exact moment.

Do the Math to Predict Their Ultimate Attacks

The opponent cannot use their ultimate abilities if the total number of times they have Evolved plus the current turn number is 14 or less. If you do the math and see that the total won't reach 15 (even if they Evolve this turn), you are perfectly safe and do not need to worry about Seofon or Sandalphon's ultimate attacks just yet.

How to Survive Sandalphon's Ultimate Attack

Sandalphon's ultimate attack randomly shoots 2 damage 5 different times, hitting both your followers and your leader. By having a lot of followers on your side of the field, you create human shields to lower the chance of your leader taking the hits. Do the math, and if you know their ultimate attack is fully charged, make sure you play multiple followers to protect yourself.

Always Expect Fast "Storm" Attacks

Evolve Swordcraft decks sometimes sneak in "Storm" followers (who can attack instantly) like Albert. If your leader's health gets too low, they might suddenly drop him and win the game out of nowhere. To prevent this, always protect yourself using healing cards or "Ward" followers.
