Poison Build
Poison decks start slowly but become stronger the longer combat lasts. They thrive when supported by survival tools, repeated poison application, and scaling payoffs like poison multiplication.
"Best for players who like delayed but powerful scaling, especially in boss fights."
Poison decks start slowly but become stronger the longer combat lasts. They thrive when supported by survival tools, repeated poison application, and scaling payoffs like poison multiplication.
Core plan Stack poison, stay alive through the weak early turns, then convert scaling into inevitability.
Strengths
- Strong boss scaling
- Reliable long-fight damage
- Does not rely on repeated attack density
Weaknesses
- Slow opening turns
- Can struggle with early tempo
- Needs survival support
We categorize resources into Core, Support, and Payoff. A build becomes "real" only when these three layers synchronize.

Pro Tip: Balance your shell
"If your deck only has payoffs, it's a glass cannon that will misfire. If it only has support, you'll eventually be out-scaled. Look for the Golden Ratio between establishment, consistency, and victory."
Build FAQ
What is the core idea behind Poison Build?
The goal is to identify the mechanic that actually wins fights, then build around enough support pieces to make that plan reliable.
Do I need every core card to make Poison Build work?
No. In Early Access, most builds are better understood as directions rather than exact decklists. What matters most is whether you have enough engine, support, and payoff to make the build coherent.
Why does this page separate core, support, and payoff?
Because a strong build is not just a list of good cards. Core pieces enable the mechanic, support pieces keep the build consistent, and payoff pieces convert that setup into real combat power.
