Opening

Growth

Turn 1

G3 bottom, gain Minor. If you gained a 1-cost, make sure to keep Grasping roots in hand, or you won’t be able to play to max CP.

Play 2 with 21 to unlock Smash, stomp, and flatten. If you only consider your Uniques, since Terrifying rampage is useless on turn 1 and you don’t have 4 Energy, you have two options:

  1. Surging lahar and Grasping roots
  2. Blazing intimidation and Grasping roots

Option 1, if you have good targets for Surging lahar, is generally superior, as having Badlands down early helps a lot with damage in later turns.

If the Minor you gained has , it can replace any of the above. If you keep a in hand, such as Grasping roots, you will be able to unlock level 2 of your Innate next turn.

Turn 2

G2 top.

Play 2. Depending on your draws and plays, you might be able to unlock the second level of your Innate, but you should always be able to unlock the first level.

Turn 3

G4, reclaiming and empowering your Incarna.

Play 2.

Turn 4

G2 bottom to 3 CP.

Play 2 or 3 (if you have not found a card with , you won’t have 3 cards to play, but it’s still worth getting to 3 CP to play 3 cards next turn).

Turn 5

Reclaim, gain Major or Minor.

Play 3.

Turn 6

G3 top, gain Major or Minor (whichever you didn’t in the previous turn). If you gain a Major forget from discard, and if you are planning on forgetting a card with from your hand, discard that card BEFORE gaining the Major, so that you still have 3 cards left in your hand.

Play 3.

Remarks

If keeping Blazing intimidation on turn 1, or if having found a 1-cost Minor on turn 1, Energy might be tight later on, and you might need to swap turn 4 and turn 6 to unlock 3 Energy/turn on turn 4 and 3 CP on turn 6.

Swapping the growths of first two turns is also an option. Turn 1 will be slightly weaker (but still good, since you unlock your level 1 Innate), but the extra Energy will make the mid game easier.
