Core Game Plan

CAUTION: This deck is more for fun than competitive

The primary objective is to rapidly fill the graveyard in order to cast large minions at a reduced cost. Threshold is largely irrelevant to this strategy; instead, minions are intentionally discarded and reanimated later for tempo advantage.

Opening Turns & Setup

Turn 1 Priorities

Ideally, open with Gothic Tower, Lone Tower, or Dark Tower, allowing you to play Sisters of Avalon. This enables an early discard of a high-impact minion, immediately setting up the graveyard.

Turn 2 Power Plays

On turn two, play Boneyard or Orpheus’ Crossing, which allows you to reanimate discarded minions as early as turn two.

If tower sites are unavailable, an alternative line is to open with Forgotten Tomb or Shallow Grave as your first site and play Cemetery Rats to begin filling the graveyard, achieving a similar setup.

If Boneyard or Orpheus’ Crossing are not drawn, the deck can instead focus on continued graveyard setup, enabling a turn three Carrionette or Raise Dead to produce the same reanimation effect.

Key Combos & Synergies

Discard Targets:
The ideal discard targets are Doom of Dilmun, Army of Undead and Infernal Legions, which can later be reanimated via Carrionette.
Shallow Grave / Forgotten Tomb + Boneyard/Orphues Crossing
This combination enables nearly any minion to be cast by turn two, with Cemetery Rats optionally played beforehand for added graveyard value.
Scavenging Fiend + I Am Colossus/Toolbox/Kythera Mechanism/Mix Aer
Provides additional combo lines and recovery options. If Mechanism is discarded unintentionally, Scavenging Fiend allows it to be retrieved.
Mirage
Improves deck consistency by replaying Shallow Grave or Forgotten Tomb, or by resetting Boneyard to generate another free minion.

Utility Staples

Wizard’s Den (Auto-Include)
Replaces itself while enabling a discard, making it ideal for fueling the graveyard. Plus positioning wont need to be defensive as we can entice our opponent to attack it.
Dreadwing/Sisters of Avalon allow us to discard to fill graveyard and put minions on the board.

Added Mephistopheles, because if we cheat him in with a raise dead or another we can still use his second ability/ (his first ability only works if we cast him but we don’t care about it)

this list can really have any op minion up to your discretion

Doing a little bit of tweaking, getting a tower into sisters of Avalon turn 1 is really good especially if we can discard a beefy minion, then turn 2 play a mix air, with a raise dead or carrionette allows us to play it, added another tool box and mix air
