“Draft and create Ethereal cards then finish with Pull From Below”

Core idea

Generate or draft Ethereal cards that help you Block and draw, then crash through multi-enemy encounters with Banshee's Cry or finish off with your Pull From Below for longer, tankier encounters. A non-exhausting Graveblast can let you cast Banshee's Cry again once it's 0 energy, or can retrieve a stacked Pull From Below to cash in on the damage more regularly.

When to commit

When you find Pull From Below (especially with Strength) or Banshee's Cry

Support plan

It's a good idea to pick up plenty of star generation, especially if you don't have Genesis. Small star spenders like Cloak of Stars help buff your Crescent Spears while providing much needed defense. The Clone enhancement on an upgraded Crescent Spear can have hilarious results, but be wary that without constantly picking up more star generation you won't be able to play more than 3 out. A bit of Weak can help you survive bigger hits and Vulnerable is always welcome. Any relics that can help with survivability are very welcome here - you have plenty of damage already.

Weaknesses

Strengthdown reduces a lot of damage from Pull From Below, so avoid Friendship and Shared Fate. Retain does not override Ethereal, so Snap can be hard to use.
