Jinx
Loose Cannon · Explosive aggro · Beginner
Jinx plays fast, pressures early, and turns chaotic exchanges into points before slower decks stabilize.
Playstyle
Fury keeps the attacks coming while Chaos creates disruptive swings. Jinx decks want the opponent under pressure from the first battlefield fight.
Strengths
- Fast starts
- Strong punishment for slow decks
- Clear aggressive plan
Watch Outs
- Can run out of cards or pressure
- Needs attacks to connect
- Can struggle into sturdy boards
Game Plan
- 1Early: establish cards that support the Fury / Chaos identity.
- 2Midgame: use pressure and combat damage to force early decisions while using Chaos cards to keep the plan stable.
- 3Late: convert the strongest battlefield position into Hold points instead of chasing every fight.
Pick Jinx if you want a starter deck that teaches pressure and rewards decisive attacks.

Budget Starter Upgrades
Keep

- Keep cards that turn small advantages into immediate battlefield pressure.
Upgrade First
- Add efficient Fury threats that punish slow starts.
- Add Chaos interaction that clears the way for attacks.
Try Next
- Try a few higher-impact finishers only after the early curve feels stable.
- Tune the rune split toward the cards you actually cast most often.
