“Wish for Victory” Deck – Complete Breakdown

The “Wish for Victory” (WfV) deck is the first pre‑constructed deck released for Season 2,built around the new Wish mechanic introduced in the “Enchanted Vows” booster.

1. Core strategy

• Early‑game setup: Deploy Hopeful Groom and Blessed Acolyte to generate Wish points.
• Mid‑game swing: Use Wish of Unity (Event) to combine two low‑level cards into a single Wish‑enhanced card.
• Late‑game finish: Activate Wish of Triumph (Epic) to double the damage of the next Hero attack.

2. Deck Composition (30 cards)

• 4 Heroes
• 6 Supports
• 8 Events (including 3 Wish cards)
• 5 Artifacts
• 7 Resources (Gold, Token, etc.)

3. Synergy Highlights

• Silver Veil (Artifact) + Wish of Unity: turns a common Support into an Epic‑level protective barrier.
• Luna the Moonlit Bride + Starlit Ceremony: grants a free extra turn when the ceremony event resolves successfully.

Gameplay Impact: Balancing & Meta shifts

• Wish mechanic introduces a resource‑management layer that rewards timing over raw power.
• top meta cards from previous seasons (e.g., Eternal Vow) see a 10 % reduction in effectiveness due to the new “Wish cooldown” rule.
• Early community testing (Alpha 3, Dec 2025) reports a 30 % increase in win‑rate for decks that prioritize Wish point generation.

How to Acquire the New Content

1. In‑game store – Direct purchase of the “Enchanted vows” booster pack or the “Wish for Victory” deck.
2. Season Pass – Tier 2 of the Season 2 Pass includes both items plus an exclusive “Celestial Bouquet” skin for Hero cards.
3. Event rewards – Participate in the “Grand Wedding Tournament” (Jan 16 – Feb 15 2026) to earn Wedding Tokens that can be exchanged for any card from the new pack.

Practical Tips for Building a Competitive Season 2 Deck

• Prioritize Wish generation: Include at least two Wish‑point generators in every deck.
• Balance rarity: Over‑loading on Epics can drain Gold quickly; aim for a 60 % Common/Rare mix.
• Test synergy: Use the built‑in deck‑simulator (available in the Settings menu) to evaluate how Silver Veil interacts with your chosen Wish cards.
• Monitor cooldowns: The new Wish cooldown is 2 turns; plan your turn order to avoid dead zones.
