>Sword
The gold standard. Tier 1 forever.
>Haven
Reactive sword. Not the way the game is meant to be played, so the decks a little weaker to compensate.
>Dragon
Storm sword.
Forte and Galm can live in the shadow of their superior, Centaur Centurion,
Will be okay sometimes.
>Rune
Explosive sword.
Trade off lancetroopers and Valse for healing and endgame lethality.
A fair way to play the game.
>Abyss
Setup sword.
Play low impact things like memorial and zombie that can be combined with later cards for burst.
An acceptable way to play the game, though not as good as fair rush board flood.
>Forest
not sword, so no one plays it.
A mistake, but they've been trying to fix it with cards like Cynthia and Lymaga.
