QuestionRecommendationReason

Best deck

Purple decks that use night, disruption and graveyard pressure with enough night-setting and Nocturnal cards to keep the condition active.

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

Copies to test

Start with 1–2 copies; expensive cards are strongest late and can crowd an opening hand.

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

How to play Shadowbeak

Use earlier turns to develop cheaper cards and preserve enough Souls for Shadowbeak — Seed of Despair.
Set up the printed trigger deliberately instead of waiting for it to happen by accident.
After deployment, decide whether attacking, blocking or staying available for an assignment produces the most value this turn.

Watch for: At 8 Souls, drawing several copies early can slow the deck. Keep enough low- and mid-cost plays around it.
