Our take on Warlords of the Deck
The game trades a fixed, predictable army structure for deck and hero combinations. That creates tactical variety, but requires players to manage card choices, faction differences, and hero abilities before and during battles.
What is Warlords of the Deck?
Warlords of the Deck combines deck building with faction-based army battles.
Players select cards from five nations, spend gold during each round to obtain new cards, and build combinations around their chosen hero. More than 100 cards and over 70 heroes support different army setups and tactical approaches. Campaign play can be paused for planning and includes asynchronous battles against players worldwide. Arena 1v1 places players in real-time elimination matches against seven opponents, while Arena 2v2 pairs two players who can send support to one another. Each nation has its own tactics, and hero abilities create different risk-and-reward choices across the early and late stages of a match.
