A Deck That Aims for an OTK with Transformed Odin, Twilit Fate
Dawnblossom OTK Runecraft is a deck that aims for an OTK by transforming all followers on the field into Odin, Twilit Fate using Grandeur of the Dawnblossom. It's hard for first-time opponents to predict, and its appeal is the ability to achieve an OTK as early as turn 7.
Ara OTK Runecraft Deck - How to Play
Find Your Combo Pieces and Clear Out Your Deck
In the early game, use Foresight and Metamorphosis of the Dawnblossom to draw through your deck. Your goal is to gather all your One-Turn Kill (OTK) pieces as quickly as possible while shrinking your deck size.
Thin Your Deck by Playing Tablet of Tribulations
Play Tablet of Tribulations to thin your deck. By reducing the number of cards in your deck, it becomes easier to have only Odin, Twilit Fate left, which makes it easier to achieve a One-Turn Kill with Grandeur of the Dawnblossom.
Boost Odin’s Attack with Institute of Truth
Use Institute of Truth to give Odin extra Attack power. The stronger Odin is, the fewer followers you’ll need to transform to end the game in one go.
Don't Run Out of Cards or Space!
Institute of Truth makes you draw a card whenever you play a Spellboost follower. Be careful not to draw your entire deck and lose (Deck Out)! Also, remember that this card takes up space on your field. If you have both the Institute and the Tablet out, you'll only have three spaces left to summon your Odins.
Grant Bergent, Rejected Artes's Crest
Evolve Bergent to get her special Crest, which summons an Onion Patch every turn. These Onion Patches are perfect for triggering Spellboosts and provide the "fuel" you need for your final transformation with Grandeur of the Dawnblossom.
Assemble Combo Pieces While Controlling the Board in the Mid-Game
In the mid-game, use Anne & Grea, Mysterian Duo and Gilnelise, Voracity Manifest to control the board while gathering your OTK pieces.
Prepare Followers to Transform with Grandeur of the Dawnblossom
Prepare followers to transform with Grandeur of the Dawnblossom. If you can play followers whose costs have been lowered by Spellboost or summon Onion Patch with Bergent, Rejected Artes's Crest, you can achieve a One-Turn Kill as early as turn 7.
Count Your 0-Cost Cards
Always check how much Attack your Odin has. If you’ve saved up enough 0-cost followers, you might be able to strike for the win earlier than you think!
Use Ara to Break Through Enemy Defenses
Ara is a lifesaver when your opponent has Ward followers in the way. Evolving Ara summons a Regal Falcon for 4 damage, and when combined with four Odins, you hit for exactly 20 damage. Her ability to clear the way and set up the field at the same time is incredibly powerful.
Ensure Only Odin, Twilit Fate Remains in Your Deck
If you’ve drawn your whole deck, use Arcane Archivist to put Odin back into your deck. This guarantees that Grandeur of the Dawnblossom will always transform your followers into Odin for the finish.
Count the Number of Followers You've Drawn
After playing Tablet of Tribulations, you can keep track of the number of followers left in your deck by counting how many you've drawn, even without emptying your deck completely. Once you've drawn all your followers, you can set up the One-Turn Kill by returning Odin, Twilit Fate with Arcane Archivist without needing an empty deck.
Finish the Game by Summoning Odin, Twilit Fate with Grandeur of the Dawnblossom
End the game by using Grandeur of the Dawnblossom to turn your field into a squad of Odins with Storm! If your Odin has 5 Attack, you will need four of them on the field to pull off a One-Turn Kill. If your Odin has reached 7 Attack, you will only need three of them to win. The more you buff Odin earlier in the game, the easier it is to land the final blow.
Mulligan Guide for Ara OTK Runecraft
Keep Tablet of Tribulations and Draw Engines
When selecting cards for your starting hand, keep your key card, Tablet of Tribulations, along with spells that let you draw extra cards early on. If you do not have Tablet of Tribulations, you will draw through your deck much slower, which delays the turn you can finally win the game. Because of this, finding it should be your top priority.
Hold These if You Already Have the Tablet
If you already have Tablet of Tribulations in your hand, you should also keep the 2-cost follower Arcane Archivist. Greatness Ascended is another great choice since it becomes very strong after your Tablet is on the field. You can also hold onto Bergent, Rejected Artes to get her powerful Crest ability going as soon as possible.
Keep Removal Spells Against Fast Opponents
In matchups against fast decks like Swordcraft that fill their side of the field quickly, keep the three cards listed above so you can easily clear away their followers. If you still need to find Tablet of Tribulations, only keep one of these removal cards and toss the rest to go looking for your Tablet.
