Shadowblood Queen Best Deck

Self-Enfeeble Deck

Self-Enfeeble Deck
Desert Sahagin 2x	Black Bat 2x	Rictus 2x
Chimera 2x	Jabberwock 2x	Titan 1x
Alexander 1x	Yin & Yang 2x	Gi Nattak 1x

Since the Shadowblood Queen mainly runs an enfeeblement deck, we recommend using a deck that thrives on a board filled with enfeebled positions.

To win against the Shadowblood Queen, use the pre-built "Strength in Weakness" deck and then replace Cavestalker, Adjudicator, and Reapertail with 2 Chimeras, Titan, Alexander, and Gi Nittak.

How to Beat the Shadowblood Queen

Counter Shadowblood Queen's Game Plan

How to Beat the Shadowblood Queen
Use Mid as a Set Up Lane Contest Top and Bottom Lane Use Gi Nattak to Distribute Points

The duel will start with the Shadowblood Queen already set in the middle. Her effect lets her scale with +3 power with every enfeebled card on the board, so she will put legendary cards on other lanes to push her pawns to your side and inflict enfeebles.

To win the duel against the Shadowblood Queen, all you have to do is to scale off Shadowblood Queen's strategy. Do so by following these strategies.

Use Mid as a Set Up Lane

Shadowblood Queen will likely win the middle lane due to her scaling effect. Play Chimera in the mid-lane to scale off her enfeebles and counter her game plan. Chimera will grow to 14-16 in power, which will be the prime target for Gi Nittak.

Contest Top and Bottom Lane

While Chimera is scaling in the middle lane, push and contest pawns in the top and bottom lane by playing scaling cards such as Rictus, Chimera, and Alexander. Ensure more points through this part of the strategy to guarantee the last play.

If you are losing pawns, use Yin & Yang to replace a card and reclaim lost pawns.

Use Gi Nattak to Distribute Points

During the end game, replace the Chimera set in the middle using Gi Nittak to distribute 14-16 power, assuring you will have 20+ points in both the bottom and top lane. You should be able to win by 10-20 more points.
