Game plan

Canine Specter starts with Shadowheart and Lightheart, so Bang-Boom (20 Shadow and 20 Light to every enemy card every second turn) scales by itself. Moxilys adds another all-enemy Shadow hit and heals with Regenair, Polychrome Owl spreads six elements of damage, and Aidan's Luckster boosts a random element every turn.

Canine Specter has 1,000 HP, the most in this deck: it can take hits while the others stack bonuses.

Strengths

  • Area damage that hits several enemy cards at once
  • Healing to outlast trades
  • 3,150 total HP — well above the 2,895 average deck
  • 33 Spamtons a turn from cards: rarer Tox sooner
  • Builds 12 element points a turn on its own
  • Resists Water damage best (9% team average)

Weaknesses

  • Weakest against Light damage (7.5% team average resistance)
