'Psych Ward' - Lava (Earth/Fire)

Competitive 1v1 Peasant Format (Ordinary/Exceptional cards only)

• Overall theme (what is the deck trying to do?):
• This deck is looking to accomplish a quick win by way of mass warded minions and offensive spell casts, maintaining a near constant pressure (hence the 'psych' part of the name, the objective is to inflict shell shock as much as possible.
• The mana curve peaks at 5, typically the game will want to end around turn 10 at the very latest in order to avoid being crushed by larger enemies/late game tactics.
• Strengths and weaknesses:
• Deck does not currently have Torshammar Trinket or Toolbox to utilize collection with.
• Strategy (how does it win the game, what's plan A, what's plan B, how do you plan to get there?):
• Plan A: Aggressively trade minions and focus on clearing the board, utilizing all magic casts offensively in order to keep the opponent on the defensive.
• Plan B: Stack defenders and only trade minions when necessary and when advantage can be pressed with lower cost magic casts.
• Opening hand / mulligans (key cards to hold and cards you definitely want to mulligan, and why):
• Because the mana curve is generally lower, the player will want to keep a steady stream of minions flowing ideally 1-2 per turn.
• Any of the 5 cost cards will want to be in the mulligan as well as Divine Healing, Consecrate, Enduring Faith, and any magic that does not grant card draw or a free ward.
• Single card discussion (are there any standout cards / interesting interactions you want to highlight?):
• I don't really know if Thankless Squire is really that useful
• Matchup dependent advice:
• TBD, game is new to me still. Planning on regular updates in the future!
• Collection cards (when to sub them in, and why):
• Currently N/A/TBD pending addition of Toolbox card(s)
