Sovereign Blade Build

tier: B

Use Forge to scale Sovereign Blade into your main finisher, then line up turns where it can hit one target hard or sweep once support pieces are online.

Points

  • Use early Forge cards such as Wrought in War and Bulwark to advance the Blade while still affecting the board.
  • Summon Forth is one of the cleanest payoffs in the deck because it both Forges and guarantees access to Sovereign Blade.
  • Conqueror should be saved for turns when Sovereign Blade is already large enough that doubling the hit meaningfully changes the fight.
  • Add at least a little defense and card setup so the deck does not lose before the first big Blade turn arrives.

Details

Forge for several turns, keep Sovereign Blade in hand with Retain, and cash it in when support pieces line up. Seeking Edge turns the Blade into an AoE attacker, while Sword Sage adds another hit at a higher cost. The Smith is not an upgrade card here; it is a large burst of Forge that pushes Blade damage forward quickly.

Cards

Main Mechanic Cards that directly Forge Sovereign Blade or pull it into hand so the deck can keep scaling it.
Synergy Cards that multiply Blade output, extend it to multiple enemies, or keep Forge happening every turn.
Support Defensive and utility tools that buy time, protect Blade turns, and add a large burst of Forge when needed.
