What Poppy Rewards
Keeper of the Hammer · printed ability
“When you hold, gain 1 XP. Spend 3 XP,: Draw 1.”
Poppy rewards holding ground; the deck feels best when you establish a battlefield and make the opponent fight uphill to break it.
How it plays
The Game Plan
Poppy is a defensive XP engine. The deck wants repeatable Holds, then converts three of those XP into cards so Body/Order units keep arriving.
Strengths
- XP from Holds
- Repeatable draw after 3 XP
- Straightforward defensive plan
Watch Outs
- Draw requires three XP
- Needs Holds first
- Can be slow under pressure
Turn by Turn
- 1Early: establish a sturdy unit on a battlefield you can Hold.
- 2Midgame: stack Hold XP while spending cards only where they protect the engine.
- 3Late: cash 3 XP for draw and keep defending until the extra cards become points.
New to this Legend? Pick Poppy if you want a clear Hold deck where defense slowly turns into cards.
