Dances of Wolves

Concept: Dances of Wolves works on a simple premise. You can't hurt what you can't hit. It makes use of Kailindo Combat Cards and Gifts that allow its members to slip away from injury, and when the moment is right, put down some damage doing cards that your opponent can not stop.

Deck Strategy: As the ancient Kailindo-Master Akira Shadowmoon once said, "One can not Rage against a gentle breeze." In other words, you can't hit what you can't touch. This deck makes use of the fact that your characters are fast and slippery, and are very good at avoiding your opponent's blows. blows. Make use of both Dodges and Blocks, as well gifts like Distractions to avoid damage, while administering a good amount of damage in the process. Patience is important in this deck, and wearing your opponent down is a goal in itself, as you wait for the right moment and then strike.
