Historical rules and tactics
A Hero and deck compete over turns. Choose an arena quest at the start, complete it with suitable cards, then choose good or evil alignment: the Hero power and certain cards change.
Guard protected other units and the Hero from normal attacks. Reserve a coin for Guard when an important unit would otherwise be exposed; balance quest progress against immediate board control. These are archival tips, not current matchmaking instructions.
What remains relevant
Old videos, card lists and guides document the former game. They do not restore its closed service; this guide offers no hidden unlock code for a current offline campaign.
All six heroes: archived deck plans
Archive, not active matchmaking. Historically build a thirty-card deck or select a starter, complete an arena objective, then choose Good/Evil for the hero power. Reserve gold for Guard; prioritise board advantage over quest progress alone. Card text/balance belongs to its historical patch.
| Hero | Plan |
|---|---|
| Marshall the Knight | Play numerous cheap units, then strengthen and protect them. |
| Miracle the Alchemist | Manipulate Strength/Health and use spells for favourable trades. |
| Crimson the Shapeshifter | Combine direct Rend damage with resulting unit bonuses. |
| Barter the Merchant | Build gold; fund expensive cards early or invest in upgrades. |
| Temple the Gravedigger | Sacrifice expendable units to trigger Eulogy death effects. |
| Sand the Prophet | Increase health, heal and preserve valuable units. |
