Sovereign Blade
MediumEvery Forge card adds damage to one Sovereign Blade, and the Blade Retains between turns. Furnace and Fencing Manual keep it growing while you block, then Conqueror and Sword Sage turn the swing into a boss-killing hit. The Blade hits one enemy until you find Seeking Edge, so crowds are the weak spot. It starts slow. Block hard in the meantime.
Relics to want
Fencing ManualCommonForge 10 at the start of every combat. The Blade is already worth swinging on turn one.
Dolly's MirrorShopCopy Furnace or Summon Forth. A second engine piece is worth more than any filler.
Ice CreamRareEnergy carries over between turns, so a turn spent blocking funds the 2 Energy Blade swing later.
How to play it
- Don't swing early. In hallway fights block and Forge, and spend the Blade when the fight is going long.
- The first Forge in each combat creates the Blade. Open with a Forge card and it is in your hand from the start.
- Take real Block cards. This deck is slow, and Bulwark gives 12 Block and Forges 10 in one play.
