Starter Decks

Reliability refers to the ability to consistently achieve the deck's average strength, and the ability to consistently use the necessary cards.

Vanilla is best for its flexibility. It can grow into a variety of strategies, since it’s got decent fallback options if your goal strategy is missing needed elements.

Blood deck is best played using hand manipulation - without it, you need to be able to stall until you can get your high-cost cards out. When using hand manipulation, an ideal strategy is to put Hoarder on your Black Goat. The idea is to guarantee your Goat in your opening hand, then play the Goat to activate Hoarder and grab your wincon, wherever it is in your deck.

The central idea of the Mantis Deck is to use the Ring Worms to kill the survivors, then buff the everloving fuck out of the Mantis God. However, sometimes the survivors aren't hungry, and you end up with a couple of buff Ring Worms. In that case, you can slap some sigils on the Worms and fuse them into the Ultimate Worm instead.

The Annoying Starters challenge is useful with the Mantis Deck, as it makes it easier to get rid of extra Ring Worms - they can now be sacrificed at sigil transfer nodes.

The Water Deck focuses on trying to deal good damage to your enemy before they can do so to you, as your primary cards are unable to tank damage for you. The two kingfishers will likely be what your deck centers around, as Mycoing them together is a great way to get a cheap and powerful card. Putting a sigil that benefits from flying on each one before combining makes this strategy even better, such as brood parasite or bifur/trifur/double strike.

The Kraken serves as a fun bonus to this deck, the random tentacles you can get from it can be useful, but are unreliable due to being luck based. The closest thing to strategy you can pull off with the Kraken is putting it on the left side of the board, as this will greatly increase the effectiveness of the bell tentacle, while not affecting the other two tentacles negatively.

The Zero Cost deck is very weak starting out, due to the very low attacking power you have at the start, but it can quickly snowball into a very powerful deck with effective strategy. Putting good sigils that benefit from being able to be played for free on your cards is a good idea, and can allow your free cards to support you while you get up harder hitters. Alternatively, you can buff up the free cards attack instead (Usually the Geck, but the others can work.), allowing you to immediately start off the battle with a high amount of damage. This deck is one of the most reliable once set up, not getting worse without the use of hand-manipulation.

The easiest way to play with the Egg deck is to ditch the Eggs altogether. While the Hydra is a decent card, getting the cards to fulfill its requirements can bloat your deck, and, since the Hydra does not stay hatched permanently, you need to keep those cards to keep using it. However, a well-thought-out deck and a buffed Hydra can easily win battles. The hard part is just getting there.

If you play without bothering about hatching the Hydra, the Eggs are useful as cheap sacrifices, since they only cost 1 Bone. They also provide a great opportunity for fusing at the Mycologists.
