QuestionRecommendationReason

Best deck

Purple decks that use night, disruption and graveyard pressure and need another way to remove or soften opposing Pals.

Use the card where its printed effect supports the deck's existing plan.

Copies to test

Test 2–3 copies so the answer appears often enough without leaving too many reactive cards unused.

Adjust only after recording how often it is useful in real opening and midgame hands.

How to play Blazehowl Noct

Place Blazehowl Noct — Darkflame Defender on the curve where its 6-Soul cost does not block the deck's next important play.
Leave the printed cost available and wait for the battle or action where the response changes the result.
After deployment, decide whether attacking, blocking or staying available for an assignment produces the most value this turn.

Watch for: Do not judge the card only by its best-case effect. Compare the Soul cost, required target and opportunity cost with another card at the same point on the curve.
