Wizards Preconstructed Deck from Coldsnap
The noble Kjeldoran Soldiers have teamed up with the crafty Zuran Wizards to build an army that can outfight and outthink any foes. With the Kjeldoran Cunning deck, youre the general of that army. Youll need all your wits about you to win the fight.
In the first few turns of the game, get some Soldiers onto the table. If you see an opportunity to attack, dont hesitate to do so, but be prepared to stay on defense if necessary. Meanwhile, use any extra mana to play deck manipulation spells to improve both the cards in your hand and the cards youll be drawing soon.
Before too long youll have an array of Soldiers on the battlefield, hopefully led by
Field Marshal
. Sometimes thats enough to win the game, as you can simply overwhelm an inferior defense. In the games when thats not possible, youve got another strategy. Your opponent wont be able to fight through your ground troops to damage you, so youre safe until you find a breakthrough threat like
Kjeldoran Gargoyle
,
Jotun Owl Keeper
, or
Wings of Aesthir
.
So wheres the cunning? All around you! Brainstorm and
Reinforcements
let you manipulate the top of your library so that when you play a spell with ripple, you know theres another copy of that card waiting to be played for free. Both of those cards are also excellent with
Portent
. Darien, King of Kjeldor and
Zuran Spellcaster
are a nifty duo: Have the Spellcaster deal damage to you, and you get a fresh new Soldier for your trouble!
Kjeldoran Elite Guard
and
Kjeldoran Pride
let you dominate combat, since having either one in play makes it nearly impossible for your opponent to attack or block your creatures safely.
If you see that your opponents methods of gaining extra cards, such as recover, will be better than yours over the course of a drawn-out game, its time for your army go on the offensive and end the game as quickly as possible! Gigantic creatures are also tough to deal with. Keep them at bay as long as you can while you attack in the air.
After getting a feel for the deck, you might want to customize it. Extra
Field Marshal
s are sure to help your army. If you can grapple the complex ability of banding, more of the Ice Age Kjeldorans
Kjeldoran Knight
,
Kjeldoran Phalanx
, and
Kjeldoran Skycaptain
would be right at home with their new compatriots.
