Necrobinder Deck Building Tips

Do's

  • ✓ Prioritize graveyard scaling (Demesne, Undeath)
  • ✓ Generate Osty early and often
  • ✓ Take summon synergies (Friendship, Sacrifice)
  • ✓ Build for long fights - scaling takes time
  • ✓ Upgrade graveyard cards first

Don'ts

  • ✗ Don't ignore graveyard - it's your win condition
  • ✗ Don't expect fast Act 1 - Necrobinder scales slowly
  • ✗ Don't take too many expensive cards
  • ✗ Don't skip defensive options
  • ✗ Don't bloat your deck unnecessarily
