Dragon Bone Recyclers — Deck Primer
Core Identity
Set aside dragon: Draconian BoneKite
Theme: Undead tribal / Necromancy recursion
Game Plan
Early Game (Turns 1–3): Establish Your Tomb
You want to start laying foundations — both your lands/sites and graveyard setup.
- Noisome Twosome, Novice Necromancer, Fowl Bones, Bone Jumble & Exhume supply early blockers & set up synergy with your Avatar.
- Torshammar Trinket and Pnakotic Manuscript accelerate you or feed card advantage.
- Use Carrionette to get minions back early if needed. Works well with Forgotten Tomb to cheat out a BIG UNDEAD MINION.
- Exhume has great value. un-burrow a pesky root spider or an artifact you buried with Earthquake AND/OR simply add 2 more spooky skeletons to your armada.
Ideal opening:
- Turn 1 site (e.g., Open Grave, Open Mausoleum, Windmill or Mountain Peaks)
- Turn 2 minion (Fowl Bones, Bone Jumble, Noisome Twosome or Novice Necromancer)
- Turn 3 artifact (Bleeding Skull or Horn of Caerleon)
Set up for the midgame — don’t overcommit too early.
Mid Game (Turns 4–6): Start Recycling
Now you have several skeletons or small minions to blow up with your avatar
- Death Knight and Vampire's make your board a problem to deal with.
- Squirming Mass begins to scale with mass death.
- Earthquake & Arjaro Exorcist for some good removal in Earth/Air.
- Bleeding Skull or Alabaster box turn your sacrifices into life drain & gain.
- Drop Lord of Fear to weaken opposing boards.
This is where Dragon Bone Recyclers truly earns the name. Unleash an army of skeletons and their spooky allies. Transform your Avatar into the Draconian Bonekite and obliterate everything—then rise again with an equal swarm of “untapped” skeleton tokens.
If Horn of Caerleon is on the field, swing again. Or keep the carnage rolling endlessly with Bone Jumble. Strengthen your undead legion with Zombie Bruiser and Fowl Bones, and watch your side of the realm turn into a bone-crushing powerhouse.
Late Game (Turn 7+): The Dead March
- Army of the Dead & Draconian Bonekite are two of the biggest minions in the game that add more synergy with your Avatar.
- Returned King, Talamh Dreig & Young Master Damion make your board state incredibly annoying to deal with.
- I Am Colossus! BIG BOY
Key Win Routes:
- Attrition victory through Lord of Fear, Bleeding Skull & Horn of Caerleon
- Assemble enough skeletons to overwhelm there life total to take them out with your Avatar ability.
- Undead Ambush with a Bone Jumble
- Play Trade Encampment to "trade" your unwanted artifacts in hand for a finisher. (e.g., Ring of Morrigan, Rolling Boulder or Corpse Catapult)
Collection:
As you can see were not playing Toolbox or Silver bullet. This deck is playing TRADE ENCAMPMENT. one of my personal favorite sorcery cards.
- Mixes for early game bombs or threshold fixing
- Pendragon Banner for a good anthem effect for your little skeletons. Death Knight and a banner is NO JOKE
- Seven-League Boots for evasion or combo with Army of the Dead.
- Poisonous Dagger makes your Avatar ability 'lethal' for killing anything above 3 power
- Ring of Morrigan, Rolling Boulder & Corpse Catapult to get the final death blow while your opponents at Death's Door.
