Deck Primer

This is a positional control deck that wins by turning the board itself into a weapon. Using Pathfinder, you reliably deploy unique Water sites each turn, building a connected map that enables forced movement, flooding, and submerge effects.

The core gameplan is simple:
force enemy units into bad positions, then punish them. Cards like Riptide, Coy Nixie, and Swap reposition threats, while payoffs like Thin Ice, Call of the Sea, and Into the Abyss convert that positioning into removal.

This is a positional control deck that wins by turning the board itself into a weapon. Using Pathfinder, you reliably deploy unique Water sites each turn, building a connected map that enables forced movement, flooding, and submerge effects.

The core gameplan is simple:
force enemy units into bad positions, then punish them. Cards like Riptide, Coy Nixie, and Swap reposition threats, while payoffs like Thin Ice, Call of the Sea, and Into the Abyss convert that positioning into removal.

You don’t fight fair trades. You collapse boards—clustering units, submerging them, or forcing them into lethal interactions. Meanwhile, efficient threats like Lugbog Cat and Selfsame Simulacrum capitalize on the chaos, often at a discount.

The deck scales into the late game through site-driven engines (flooding, token generation, and collection access via Gilman House and Peculiar Port), eventually overwhelming opponents with inevitability and board control.

TL;DR:
Build the map → control movement → punish positioning → win through collapse and combat.
