Game plan and how to win
Mel grows stronger each time you empower your cards. When you empower something else, your legend, Mel, Soul's Reflection, empowers too. Spend it to give a unit at a battlefield -2 Might this turn. Kinkou Lifeblade, Tail-Cloaked Matriarch and Hextech Formula all help you empower.
- Play Amateur Demolitionist, Mystic Poro and Suave Negotiator in your first turns.
- Play Hextech Formula early. It enters exhausted, but later it can empower another gear, such as a Bomb gear token.
- Pay 2 energy to empower Kinkou Lifeblade. It gets +1 Might and Ganking.
Your Chosen Champion, Mel, Defiant Soul, is the key to this deck. You empower her by discarding a spell. When she becomes empowered, she banishes an enemy unit at a battlefield with 3 Might or less. Keep a spare spell in hand for this. Use your legend first to bring a 5 Might enemy unit down to 3. Save Singularity and Parallel Convergence for large enemy units. Tail-Cloaked Matriarch can bring back a small unit from your trash when she becomes empowered. Win by holding battlefields while your removal keeps the opponent small.
