How to play Annie
Having two runes available on your opponent's turn changes the game: you can spend everything on your turn and still respond later. The deck combines the direct damage of Fury with the tricks of Chaos. Annie, Fiery adds 1 damage to all your spells and Tibbers sweeps the table with 3 damage to all units on battlefields.
Domains: Fury and Chaos
Fury
Direct aggression: units that hit early and damage that closes games.
Chaos
Movement, discard and risky plays that break the opponent's plan.
A Annie deck can only include cards from Fury and Chaos; its 12 Runes are split between those two Domains.
Phased game plan
- First shifts
Spend your runes on cheap units: at the end of the turn you get two back to respond.
- Midrange
Use direct damage to win fair fights and keep the pressure on with Annie, Fiery on the table.
- End of game
Tibbers clears the battlefields and clears the way for the last points.
