FreeRealms TCG - the nature starter deck

I'm playing a nature starter deck and have no trouble beating the npcs - currently going around collecting more cards.

Here's the general idea to have a decent deck.

1. start with the nature starter deck (40 cards)
2. to beat NPCs who have a 2-card advantage, you need to stop bleeding points quickly so you want to keep about 10x 1-2 coin cards. Initially don't go head-to-head with the NPC's card. Just hunt your own squares. The nature starter deck has two cards (changling sentry, changling rock warrior) that are really good defense cards that can hold the playing field until about 4-coins.
   
   Changling sentry needs 1 blue gem to activate and become awesome - don't mix in too many cards from other decks or you can't pull this off reliably. Most of the nature deck (80%+) has 1 blue gem.
3. Don't add every hero to your deck - only add the heros that support your deck well: I've found:
   • Ernie - awesome with 3 coin (artic frostfang) and 4 coin (mushroom giant warlord, bear companion) onwards.
   • Morninglory - great at fighting and reducing enemy points
   • Ari the Fish - good at fighting - better off with Erine + allies
   • Maple Sugarleaf - always ended up playing her face down for resource... when I could play her, I usually don't have a shortage of cards
4. Tricks: Spin attack is awesome at holding the enemy back at 6-9points. If they go near 10 points and you are still nowhere close it probably is game over.
5. Try to improve your overall gem average. Try to get average up to about 2.8+, but don't bloat your deck with heros that you will never use or has no synergy with your allies.
6. Personally I don't like tricks that has very low gems:
   bandage and vine tangle - only 2x gems - don't like
7. There are some tricks that are very good, even though they have low gems:
   bat attack, berserker rage (chaos)
8. I don't think you should use bandage when <4 resource... you will be chasing the game and always behind in resources - your opponent can play more expensive creatures and more tricks than you...
   (this is why I really don't like bandage)

Find me in game - "Silin Little" - I usually hang around server 1 looking for people to play and chat about cards
