Lhynkal Runecraft Deck - How to Play
Set Up Your Hand and Spellboost Early
During the first few turns, focus on using cards that let you draw to get your hand ready. You want to find your most important cards, like Dimension Climb and Lhynkal, Wandering Fool, along with spells like Flames of Chaos, Ara, Dawnblossom, and Demonic Call to help you clear the opponent's side or get your own followers out later.
Stay Alive by Clearing Followers with Spells
If your opponent starts getting followers out, use removal spells like Flames of Chaos or Stormy Blast to take them down. Since this deck doesn't usually play followers in the early game, it is very important to make sure your opponent doesn't keep any followers on the field to attack you.
Advance Spellboost with Bergent
Once you can evolve, use your evolution on Bergent to advance up your Spellboosts while wiping out the enemy's side of the field. Boosting your spells early makes it much easier to use Demonic Call or Ara to fill your side of the field later, and it helps you get Dimension Climb ready for your final turn.
Play Followers Once Your Spellboost Is Ready
Once your Spellboost count is high, play Ara, Dawnblossom or Demonic Call to fill your side of the field while clearing away enemy followers. By putting several followers on the field at once, you force your opponent to spend their turn dealing with your cards, which buys you the time you need to set up your win.
Win by Playing Lhynkal 11 Times
As soon as you can Super-Evolve, use it on Lhynkal to add 10 more copies of her to your deck. Your ultimate goal is to play Lhynkal a total of 11 times. Doing this lowers your opponent’s DP all the way to 0, winning you the game instantly regardless of how many followers they have.
Dimension Climb Helps You Reach Your 11-Lhynkal Goal
After Super‑Evolving Lhynkal, use Dimension Climb to restore play points and refill your hand. This makes it much easier to chain Lhynkal plays until you reach all 11.
Mulligan Guide for the Lhynkal Runecraft
Keep Draw Cards, Bergent, and Cards that Gain Power from Spellboost
Draw cards, Bergent, Rejected Artes, and cards that benefit from Spellboost are all strong keeps. Because you need to dig through your deck to play Lhynkal, Wandering Fool 11 times, draw cards are especially important. Keeping Bergent and Spellboost‑friendly cards helps you clear enemy followers while speeding up your Spellboost at the same time.
Against Aggro, Keep Removal Spells
If you are facing an aggressive opponent, you should keep removal spells like Stormy Blast and Flames of Chaos. Watch out especially for Abysscraft and Swordcraft; having these spells in your hand ensures you don't lose the match early just because you couldn't clear your opponent's side of the field.
How to Counter the Lhynkal Runecraft
Attack Fast to Win Early
Lhynkal Runecraft is a slow deck that needs to play "Lhynkal" 11 times to win. The best strategy is to win the game quickly before they have time to finish their plan. Start playing followers on turn 1 and attack their leader's health immediately.
Focus on Attacking, Not Healing
Against this deck, healing yourself is mostly useless. Lhynkal reduces your DP, so healing spells won't actually give you your health back. Ignore your own health and focus entirely on filling the board with followers using cards like "Kuon" or "Norman" to overwhelm them.
Build a Huge Army Before They Super-Evolve
It is crucial to have a full team of followers ready before the opponent's Super-Evolution turn. If your army is too dangerous to ignore, they will be forced to use their Super-Evolution to defend themselves instead of advancing their own plan, delaying their win condition.
Lock Their Side of the Field
You can use a strategy called "Board Lock" here. Lhynkal has "Rush" and wants to attack your followers to die so the opponent can play another one. If you play followers with 'Intimidate' like Erntz or Forte, Lhynkal cannot attack them. This leaves Lhynkal stuck on their side of the field, taking up space so they can't play more cards.
