If you can secure a strong lead right out of the gate, you force the enemy to play reactively for the rest of the match.

Many players passively wait for their opponent to make the first move, leaking precious resources in the process.

The Importance of Scouting

If you send a cheap two-cost unit to the bridge and they respond with a five-cost spell, you instantly gain a massive advantage.

Knowledge is power, and knowing their deck allows you to predict their moves before they even make them.

• Play cheap cards at the back to cycle safely.
• Observe their defensive placements.
• Identify their primary win condition early.

Aggressive Bridge Placements

If they have a bad starting hand and lack the appropriate counter, you can take half a tower in seconds.

Use this tactic sparingly, and only if your deck is specifically built for hyper-aggressive early plays.

Maintaining the Lead

Once you have secured an early tower advantage, the most common mistake is becoming overly greedy.

Switch your mindset from aggressive acquisition to absolute, impenetrable defense.
