The four cards
ModeledTalents are the model's picks; where the model sees no difference between a card's talents, all three are listed.
Game plan
Cast Cigarillos every second turn for +3 Earth and +3 Light, and Ameru's Smoky Dream every third turn for +4 Light, Water and Shadow. Moxilys' Doubleshadow hits every enemy card for 15 Shadow and adds +2 Shadow each time, so its damage grows with every cast, while Regenair heals your board every turn. Catixy's Mewling gains +5% critical chance with every use and Sinister Charm hands +25% critical to an ally. Turn 10 is the payoff: Final Delight lands 100 Earth and 100 Light damage with every point you have stacked.
Put the AoE Tox you buy on even turns on your hardest hitter, and keep Commando Gerz alive: its 1,200 HP and starting Berserk (+25% damage for your whole team) carry this deck.
