Deck objective: Control the board via minions + removal magic + powerful "hate" sites
Win condition: Attack with + occasional minion or magic damage
Will be updating Matchups as I get more experience with certain Avatars:
"Favorable" Matchups
Non-water decks - and are online
- You can remove all of their minions before they get use out of them
- s and other Evil minions give you free movement all game
- Can remove all minions and stand on top of them when they want to
- Can bury their equipment; You will most likely be on their side of the board and that will not allow them to get the second attack most of the time
"Even" Matchups
- Steam specifically is tough because of the damage and Ward minions; usually able to 2 or 3 for 1 enough times to mitigate their card advantage;
- Mono-fire list can sometimes be too fast and too consistent
"Hard' Matchups
- 3 power unkillable Avatar can lead to some dead draws if you only have removal
- Need or to stand a chance
- Can deal damage to your Avatar much faster than you can deal to them because of their tap ability
Artifacts
: Able to bounce Evil minions (or minions you brand as Evil); can't be summoned on top of you; can also brand an enemy Evil so they can't move and defend against an attack

: Excellent for killing minions or doing damage to the enemy Avatar (ranged helps preserve life points)
: "Poor man's "; step ability allows you to freely move into a site and steal something strong
Minions
