Recommended 50-Card Configuration

The Guangzhou main deck unchanged; the sideboard swaps Divine Judgment for The Ruination.

Conversion engines

9 cards

3× Gear—The outlet itselfThe kill is an effect, not a cost — the opponent may react before it resolves.

3× Spell—The outlet itselfKill is an additional cost. Deathknell resolves before the draw and rune.

2× Spell—Sets fodder to 5Sets base Might to 5; arithmetic modifiers still apply. Recoverable Legend discard via Flow.

1× Battlefield——Controlled Beginning-Phase kills. Triggers before scoring — verify the Hold first.

Deathknell infrastructure

21 cards

3× Unit3Payoff 2→3 · fodder 3→4 (empty)Deathknell multiplier. Setup-sensitive engine, not a curve obligation.

3× Unit5Fodder 5→6Natural five-Might Hook bridge and recursion engine.

3× Unit1Fodder 1→2 · legal hitCard-producing Deathknell fodder and early presence.

3× Unit1Fodder 1→2 · legal hitRune acceleration — runes enter exhausted; improves subsequent cycles.

2× Unit2Payoff 1→2 · fodder 2→3Early body; a specific 1-Might Hook search target.

1× Unit1Fodder 1→2 · legal hitBest Glasc target when the requirement is rebuilding multiple bodies.

1× Champion3Champion Zone · not shuffledStarts in the Champion Zone (not shuffled). Draws two if it dies during the Beginning Phase.

3× Unit6Payoff 5→6 · fodder 6→7Ideal Hook fodder: converts 6 into a potential 7 while triggering four damage.

2× Unit7Payoff 6→7Deathknell ignores Energy, not Power — plan the Power before it dies.

Interaction & battlefield control

9 cards

2× Gear——Not generic removal — evaluate against the two-card compensation.

2× Unit5Fodder 5→6Attack-triggered Stun; natural five-Might bridge.

1× Unit2Payoff 1→2 · fodder 2→3Highest-tempo Glasc target when play trigger and Stun are live.

3× Unit6Payoff 5→6 · fodder 6→7Copying it does NOT retrigger the kill — the play trigger requires being played.

1× Unit7Payoff 6→7Compression against wide boards. Copies do not apply the global reduction.

Copy engine

3 cards

1× Legend——Ready Reflection at the scoring battlefield; costs a discard and exhausts the Legend.

2× Spell——Ready at base — can move and trigger Rift Herald’s movement ability.

Exact Might for low-tier bodies is not published in the guide, so those are described as 1–2 rather than given invented values. Energy and Power appear only where the guide states them.
