Right now, the Portalcraft class revolves around three distinct strategies: Artifacts, Puppets, and Eggs.
Artifact decks focus on fusing Gears to assemble your ultimate Gundam, 90074110, usually around turn 10.
Puppet decks aim to generate strong tempo by producing multiple Puppets to clear enemy followers while dealing steady chip damage.
Finally, Egg decks want to summon multiple 90074210 as quickly as possible, then destroy them to slowly “cook” your opponent like an omelet!
In the previous set, Portalcraft struggled in the meta, with the exception of Puppets, which managed to post some solid results. With Blossoming Fate, however, the class gained more draw power and access to a particularly powerful new spell, 10573310. This card can transform a follower you control into a 3/3 with Rush… but it can also target any enemy card, including amulets, making it one of the strongest utility tools in the current meta.
Portalcraft Artifact
Artifact Portalcraft rewards patience and careful decision-making. You must pick the right tool at the right moment, because fusing too early can leave you without the proper answer later on.
Your 5-cost Artifacts can heal, burn, or deal AoE damage, so choosing which one to craft is often game-defining.
At the moment, the deck struggles against many of the top meta decks. It can be too slow to develop in certain matchups, while other strategies often outscale it in the late game. With Eggs and Puppets being both stronger and easier to build and pilot, Artifact is currently left behind. That said, this exact build recently achieved an 18–0 run in Master Rank, proving that a dedicated pilot can still make the deck work.
Portalcraft Puppets
Puppets is a heavy tempo deck that can struggle to close out games. Its primary win condition remains 10174120, which usually requires a Super Evo to truly shine. Alternatively, the deck can push damage by maintaining a wide hand of Puppets or by relying on the burn potential of 10474120.
With Blossoming Fate, the deck gained better consistency, improving the odds of drawing 10174120 or 10474120 at the right time, while also strengthening its overall tempo. It is currently very popular, with Portalcraft players often switching between Puppets and Eggs depending on the matchups they expect to face.
Portalcraft Eggs
Egg Portalcraft focuses on chipping damage throughout the game by summoning and destroying 90074210. Most of the effects used to destroy your own cards also provide strong tempo swings, such as 10373110.
To push damage in the late game, don’t underestimate 10474120, which can significantly increase the power of your 90074220 and help close out games.
If you are looking for a strong tech choice against board-based decks, 10571120 is also starting to appear as an inclusion in some top-level lists.
No Legendary Portalcraft Deck
While Puppets and Eggs are currently the strongest Portalcraft options, both archetypes rely heavily on their Legendary cards, making them difficult to adapt into a no-Legendary build. Artifact stands out in this regard, as its Legendary win condition is crafted during the game itself, while the deck relies on solid midgame tempo tools to survive until then.
So, which path will you choose?
Will you assemble a massive Mecha with Artifacts, put on a Puppet spectacle with 10174120, or sing “Louder!” alongside 10374120?
