Swordcraft is a class that excels at board-centric gameplay, focusing on follower-versus-follower combat. If you enjoy an aggressive, tempo-based playstyle aimed at quickly dealing damage and maintaining control of the board, Swordcraft is an excellent choice.
This class is characterized by its abundance of sword and knight-themed followers, which you deploy to establish and dominate the board. Key to Swordcraft's strategy are trait synergies, particularly between Officers and Commanders, along with cards featuring the Rally keyword. Evolving multiple followers is also a core component of many Swordcraft decks, further solidifying their board presence and offensive capabilities.
Best Decks & Budget Options
Swordcraft might be one the best budget decks to pick up thanks to the core strategy not requiring any legendary to function. Sure, you will lack a bit of a punch late in the match, but if you can overwhelm your opponent with followers early on, the match might never get there. 10121140 might not be flashy, but it is a great finisher for a budget deck. You also throw 10021130 in the mix if you like that option better.
Early on after the game's release, the class is one of the most played, and forces the metagame to adapt to it. 10102110 is seen in multiple builds as a specific card to counter Swordcraft, testimony of the class being regarded as a menace.
Once the legendary cards join the party, a Swordcraft deck doesn't necessarily hit much harder, although a well-timed 10104110 can be backbreaking for the opponent. However, the deck becomes much harder to stop, particularly thanks to 10124120 representing such an incredible support tool, allowing to draw, play for three and possibly grant our entire board barrier.
