Defect Zero-Cost Tempo

Chain cheap cards, energy spikes, and recursion to win before the enemy plan stabilizes.

Spielplan

  1. 1Use draw and energy to play more cards than the enemy can answer.
  2. 2Pick zero-cost cards only when they have real damage, Weak, or recursion payoff.
  3. 3Keep one scaling source for bosses that survive the first burst.
Build stability

Is the floor good enough?

Test first-cycle output, bad-draw recovery, boss coverage, and resource pressure—not only the best-case turn.

Payoff

The deck creates explosive turns and can cycle back its best cheap cards repeatedly.

Boss-Plan

Use tempo to end normal fights quickly, but add Focus, Buffer, or Dark scaling before late bosses.
