Starter Strategy

Your chosen Heroic (one of Thorgrim, Forge Overlord, or Ironclad Titan) anchors the board with dual abilities that amplify Stillforge's raw-power identity. The Rares layer the core mechanics: Ironclad Enforcer rallies allies while crushing by total power, Forgeborn Vanguard stacks Temper + Shatter, and Bastion Knight brings Harden to lock corners from reduction.

The 13 Uncommons fan out your toolkit — three Temper carriers for corner-floor protection, two Bolster carriers for +1 adjacent buffs, two Crush carriers for total-power checks, Brace for positional locks, and a single Shatter to punish weak corners. The 20 Commons split evenly between ability-bearing plates (Bolster, Crush, Temper, Brace) and high-corner vanilla bodies (Iron Pawn at 8, Chain Mender at 8, and reliable 6-7 corner workers).

Stillforge's strength is that your corners stay high. Temper protects against reductions, Harden locks values, Bolster adds +1 — so flip math favors you as the game unfolds.
