Necrobinder

Generate large numbers of Souls and turn cheap Soul plays into repeated damage triggers while cycling through the deck at high speed.

• Haunt is the highest-priority pick; once it is in the deck, every Soul played deals 6 damage to a random enemy, turning a 0-cost token into consistent pressure.
• Dirge generates multiple Souls and Summons in a single card play, making it the central engine piece from the mid-game onward.
• Because Souls cost 0, you can play several each turn regardless of your other cards, so Haunt triggers multiple times without spending any energy.
• Soul Storm converts discarded Souls into bonus damage, and Grave Warden adds a Soul while building block, letting defense and offense reinforce each other.
• Borrowed Time and Neurosurge are strong accelerants, but do not overload on self-Doom if the deck lacks a fast payoff.

Use Summon to keep Osty healthy, then turn Osty's HP and attacks into both defense and damage through HP-scaling attacks and Necro Mastery.

• Pull Aggro is a clean setup card because it gives Summon 4 and 7 Block in one play, helping you establish Osty without losing tempo.
• Once Necro Mastery is in play, every point of HP Osty loses is dealt to all enemies, turning Osty's durability into a reliable damage source.
• Cards like Unleash and Protector get better as Summon grows, so make sure the deck has enough ways to keep Osty's HP high.
• If you add many Osty attacks, build around repeated Osty actions rather than splitting too hard into unrelated systems.
• Avoid mixing this build with sacrifice-focused strategies like Bone Shards; the two approaches conflict and undermine each other.

Stack Doom on enemies until their HP is covered, then let the delayed kill mechanic finish fights while defensive Doom payoffs keep you stable.

• Reaper Form makes every attack apply Doom, turning the entire deck into a Doom engine without needing dedicated Doom cards.
• Block is essential — use Death's Door and Shroud together to accumulate block while applying Doom each turn.
• No Escape scales Doom quickly: it applies 10 Doom plus 5 more for every 10 Doom already on the target.
• Time's Up acts as a standalone finisher by dealing damage equal to the enemy's current Doom value, then exhausting itself.
• Doom does not save you immediately, so add enough defense and draw to survive until the stacks matter.

Build a draw engine around Ethereal cards using Pagestorm, then convert the total number of Ethereals played into damage with Pull from Below and Banshee's Cry.

• Pagestorm draws an extra card each time you draw an Ethereal, so cards like Parse can create real chain turns.
• Each turn, Call of the Void adds a random card to your hand as an Ethereal, providing a steady supply of Ethereals even without dedicated Ethereal cards in hand.
• Pull from Below deals 5 damage per Ethereal played this combat, so the damage total grows steadily throughout the fight.
• Banshee's Cry costs less for each Ethereal played this combat, eventually becoming free and hitting all enemies for 33 damage.
• Since Ethereal cards disappear if unused, the deck wants enough draw and cost help to turn temporary cards into real value.
