The Darkfire Citadel Pre-Constructed Deck (PCD) is quite simply an attack deck. Let’s review your cards…

With 11 Sapphire and 11 Nighshade cards, you have more than enough resources to get into the game quickly. You also have the advantage of many low cost creatures such as the Red Scorpion, the Lesser Fire Efreet, Skeletons, and Jackals. This means that you can set up your Battle Tier quickly. Though these creatures may seem weak at first glance (1 or 2 STR) their special abilities more than make up for it. The combination of increasing creature STR and “stunning” your opponent’s creatures, gives you great advantages on the attack. Stunning opposing creatures does not prevent them from defending against your attacks, but it keeps them from attacking and from using their own special abilities, thus giving you time to build your palace.

Your Dune Stalkers and Skull Throwers provide good, mid-strength defense, and further add to the deck’s theme of Strengthen-and-Stun. Your Blood Warrior provides much needed direct damage through its “Ruin” ability.

Your most powerful and fearful creature is the Dragon. This 7 STR powerhouse not only gives you great attack and defensive capabilities, but it also has one of the most unique special abilities in the game. If the Dragon attacks, is blocked and defeats its blocker, you may discard 2 of your Fire resources and conduct an attack with the Dragon against your opponent’s Palace Tier. It’s a costly, late-game ability, but if used properly, the Dragon can single-handedly shut down your opponent’s palace.
