Deck Tips and Strategy

Deck Main Cards

This deck revolves around the 4 spy cards in your deck which are Mysterious Elf, Prince Stennis, Sigismund Dijkstra, and Thaler. Use these cards partnered with other high power cards in your deck to overwhelm your opponent.

First Draw

When drawing cards you must atleast have 1-2 spy cards in your hand before starting the game. When you don't have spy cards on your starting hand use your 2 exchange cards from the start to get a chance of getting a spy card.

Spy Usage

On the first round use all the spy cards you have to gain a card advantage towards your opponent. From this point try to bait out your opponent to use as much cards in a round without you using too much cards yourself.

First Round Strategy

On the first round if you can beat your opponent without using too much cards and your opponents uses more resources than you try to win the round by letting out your high power cards. Your opponent will surely lose on the next round as your opponent will have no cards to battle with and you will win easliy.

First Round Alternate Strategy

In the case that you can't beat your opponent on the first round. Try to bait out your opponent in using cards then pass the round so that you will have a great card lead advantage towards your opponent.

Listen, there is NO situation in which having 3 decoys is a bad thing. Either you need all 3 to counter the opponents spies, or you can use them to use the medic or Villentretemir again. But not using 3 decoys is a crime against the game and makes me seriously question the article
