Viktor
Herald of the Arcane · Toolbox control · Intermediate
Viktor rewards careful sequencing, using spells and support pieces to control how the board develops.
Playstyle
Mind supplies planning and interaction while Order supports board structure. Viktor decks want to keep options open and win by making each action more efficient than the opponent's.
Strengths
- Flexible answers
- Strong sequencing rewards
- Good at grinding value
Watch Outs
- Can be slow to close
- Requires planning ahead
- Punished by inefficient turns
Game Plan
- 1Early: establish cards that support the Mind / Order identity.
- 2Midgame: trade timing, information, and card advantage for control while using Order cards to keep the plan stable.
- 3Late: convert the strongest battlefield position into Hold points instead of chasing every fight.
Pick Viktor if you enjoy toolboxes, small advantages, and making a plan before each Action Phase.
