Relatively budget deck, only epic is Emperor's Command, very important card, deals with 1 hp Deathtouch creatures, among other things.
Deck relies on keeping 9 creatures alive and buffed (Boar, Guardian, Verduran).
Utility cards are only 2 each (Safeguard, Horsemaster, Totem) because you never want 3 of them in one hand.
Safeguard protects from Deathtouch and also trades with big creatures since the main 9 creatures are high attack (and hp). Horsemaster keeps the fat 9 mobile. Totem and Beastmaster are the basis of the deck.
Always try to initiate the fight, Embrace and Caretaker allow you to plan a beneficial trade (meaning your creature lives).
Voice of Truth is a giant slayer (Soul Eaters in GY sac and so many more), also its 5 hp combos with Beastmaster and finally it can even heal your high hp 9 main creatures.
The main 9 are very good value creatures (always play the boar for 3 faeria).
Beastmaster or Verduran is the best turn 2 play, allowing you to harvest from turn 3, i usually start by playing 2 forests as far back as possible, I am a new player so feedback is welcome, thanks for reading.
PS: Boar card is out of date, it costs 5 faeria right now, not 6
