Power Up Your Team with Enhance
This Swordcraft deck focuses on making your followers permanently stronger every time you use an 'Enhance' card, thanks to the special ability of Yidmetra, Eld Sword. This allows you to take control of the table and deal massive damage. Since you have so many flexible cards to choose from, thinking carefully about the order you play them is the key to winning.

Enhance Swordcraft Deck - How to Play
Charge Your "Faith" Early By Using "Enhance" Abilities
Charge Faith While Destroying Enemies and Building Your Army
In the first few turns, play cards that use "Enhance" to quickly build up your Faith count. Your main goal is to activate Yidmetra's massive Faith effect as early as possible! Playing Majestic Conquest for its Enhance cost on turn 3 is an incredible move, letting you fill the board with attackers to make up for your deck's usually slow start.
Play Your First Yidmetra on Turn 2
We highly recommend playing your first Yidmetra, Eld Sword on turn 2 simply to grab the "Depths of the Eld Sword" spell from your deck. This spell is great because, for an Enhance cost of just 1 extra point, it deals 3 damage to an enemy while giving you another Faith charge!
Power Up Your Army by Activating Faith in the Mid-Game
Hunt Down Yidmetra Using Rosé
You can play Rose, Princess Knight for her Enhance cost to search your deck for Yidmetra and add her straight to your hand. It is highly recommended that you hold onto the free, 0-cost Yidmetra that Rose gives you until your Faith count has reached exactly 5.
Supercharge Your Army with Yidmetra's Faith Effect
Once you finally reach 5 Faith, Evolve Yidmetra to permanently activate her powerful Faith effect. The entire goal of this deck is to overwhelm the opponent with massively powered-up followers after Yidmetra activates, forcing them to waste all their cards defending themselves. Once they are exhausted, you finish them off with a giant attack from Albert, Levin Stormsaber!
Wipe Out the Enemy While Building Your Army Using "Enhance"
Even after Yidmetra's Faith effect is active, keep playing Heartless Strategist and Majestic Conquest for their Enhance costs to completely wipe out the enemy's attackers while summoning your own. You can easily crush your opponent by constantly boosting the stats of your entire army!
Strike the Final Blow with Huge Attacks in the Late Game
Overwhelm the Field with Noel IV, Ruthless Warlord
Play Noel IV, Ruthless Warlord using his Enhance 8 cost to instantly fill your side of the field, wipe out enemies with instant "Rush" attacks, and blast the enemy leader's health with his "Storm" ability. This is an incredibly powerful move that overwhelms the opponent and drops their health low enough for Albert to finish them off, forcing the enemy to desperately try to heal and defend at the same time.
Finish Them with a Fully Powered Albert
End the game by dealing a massive burst of damage using Albert, Levin Stormsaber's Enhance effect. If you also have Majestic Conquest ready, you can use its 'Rush' attacks to smash through any 'Ward' blockers that survived Albert's area-of-effect damage, clearing the path to hit the enemy leader directly!
Boost Your Damage with Spells or a Second Faith Cycle
Once you reach 10 Play Points, you can cast "Depths of the Eld Sword" alongside a fully-powered Albert, or even activate Yidmetra's effect a second time to make Albert hit even harder! Depths of the Eld Sword is incredible because it destroys an enemy and powers up Albert for just 1 single Play Point, so saving it for this final attack is a brilliant strategy.
Aim for a One-Turn Knockout Against Opponents Who Heal
When playing against decks that constantly heal themselves like Faith Runecraft, trying to slowly chip away at their health is a trap that will just drain your resources. Instead, you should aim to trigger Yidmetra's Faith effect a second time! By activating that second Faith cycle and combining Depths of the Eld Sword with a fully Enhanced, Super-Evolved Albert, you can deal enough damage to win the game in a single massive turn!
If You Can't Attack Directly, Just Overwhelm the Field
If you can't find a way to strike the final blow, use Golden Knight to take back control of the game and buy yourself some time. Alternatively, keep powering up your army using Enhance cards like Noel IV, slowly grinding down the opponent's health until you finally see an opening for Albert to finish the job.
Knowledge & Technique Guide
How to Best Use Knightly Ardor's Abilities
Massive Healing When the Opponent Tries to Starve You
If your opponent tries to stop you from healing by refusing to play any followers, meaning your "Drain" attackers have nothing to hit, you can simply use Knightly Ardor's 4th ability to magically heal yourself for 6 health! This easily keeps you out of danger, letting you survive their attacks and completely turn the game around.
Strike the Final Blow With a Surviving Attacker
You can set up a surprise knockout punch by giving any attacker that survived the opponent's turn the ability to attack twice, using Knightly Ardor's 1st ability. This is an amazing trick, especially if you also play an Enhance card to boost that follower's stats before they attack!
Make Your Army Impossible to Destroy with a "Barrier"
It is a strong play to use ability number 2 to give one of your followers a magical 'Barrier', making it extremely difficult for the opponent to destroy them with spells. If the opponent fails to kill that follower, you can easily power them up on your next turn for massive damage.
Get Evolution Points Back to Trigger Yidmetra's Faith Again
Because you must spend an Evolution to trigger Yidmetra's Faith effect, using ability number 3 to get an Evolution Point back makes it much easier to activate her effect a second time! By reaching that second Faith cycle, you can set up a massive one-turn knockout, or create an army so huge that the opponent simply cannot defeat it.
Mulligan Guide for the Enhance Swordcraft
Keep Majestic Conquest, Serenity's Shield, Yidmetra, and Rosé
In your opening hand, look for Majestic Conquest, Serenity's Shield, Yidmetra, and Rosé. Majestic Conquest and Serenity's Shield are excellent because they help you fill your side of the table and take the lead early. You should keep Yidmetra because you want to activate her special power as soon as possible. Rose is also a keeper for the same reason, as she can search your deck to find Yidmetra.
Keep Ruthless Eld Sword and Heartless Strategist Together
If you already have the key cards mentioned above, you can also keep Ruthless Eld Sword and Heartless Strategist. These are great choices because they add to your Enhance count while removing enemy followers from the table.
How to Counter the Enhance Swordcraft
Attack from the start with decks that can be aggressive in the early game
Enhance Swordcraft has many cards it wants to play with Enhance, making its early game weak, so be sure to attack from the beginning of the match. By doing so, you can delay the completion of Yidmetra's Faith by preventing them from playing cards with Enhance.
Thoroughly clear the field after Yidmetra's Faith is complete
After Yidmetra's Faith is complete, playing a card with Enhance buffs all allied followers, significantly strengthening their field, so be sure to clear their field thoroughly and leave nothing behind.
Use Ward to make it difficult for them to use Albert
Enhance Swordcraft often finishes the game with an Enhanced Albert, dealing massive damage with a double-attack Storm effect while also clearing the field with a 3-damage AoE. If you put up a Ward with 4 or more defense, it won't be destroyed by the AoE, allowing you to reduce the damage you take from the Storm attack.
Be wary of the damage output after Yidmetra's Faith is complete
After Yidmetra's Faith is complete, allies get +1/+1 when a card is played with Enhance, so be wary as an Enhanced Albert can deal 14 damage. Keep in mind that followers can be buffed even further after the second completion of Yidmetra's Faith or with Depths of the Eld Sword (Enhance 1), which is obtained from Yidmetra.
Be wary of Glittering Gold and the Majestic Conquest Crest
If the opponent has Glittering Gold or the Majestic Conquest Crest is active, be careful as they can break through your Ward by dealing damage for 0 cost after Albert's 3-damage AoE. Keep track of how many Glittering Golds your opponent has and set up a Ward with enough defense to prevent them from breaking through.
