Deck Strategy

The goal of this deck is to amass several Crystal Bits in one land, then use their Blizzard attack to destroy all challengers. Their other move, Friends, will help you raise their numbers.

Since Crystal Bit has very little HP, play Spindrift and Money Bag first. Spindrift's Lure forces your opponent to attack her, or give up that phase of their turn. The next round, you can heal with a Mushroom and either Lure again or Bump for reasonable damage.

When you have a free attack, use Money Bag's Bank Account ability to save up Energy on the side. Your opponent cannot touch this stack. Most decks require more than 21 Energy, but Money Bag's searching ability, combined with the fact that this deck is single-type, allows you to have less.

When you need to tap the Energy pile, or when Money Bag is almost Knocked Out, play Honorable Discharge to shuffle him back into your deck. If you can, use War Buddies first to avoid temporarily losing his Energy. (War Buddies remains in the land you play it in, so it can be used repeatedly - but be careful that your opponent doesn't gain access to it.)

War Buddies also allows you to shift Energy from a dying Crystal Bit to one without damage, allowing you to more easily continue the assault. Frequent searches for Crystal Bits and Ice Energy will thin your deck, ultimately helping you to more quickly reach other cards - and the remaining Crystal Bits and Energies. Try to avoid letting up your attack to use Friends. Once you have sufficient Crystal Bits to begin, let replacements come as they will.

Finally, the powerful card - Crystal King. His Freeze Punch attack is actually less useful than a powered-up Blizzard, but he has more HP and can recover. Remember all that Energy you set aside? You'll need it now. A Recover combined with a Mushroom will usually be sufficient to restore Crystal King to full health. If the situation gets dangerous, you can always shuffle away his Energy and give him an Honorable Discharge.

This deck requires you to be careful on the defense, but if you can prepare a Blizzard within the first few turns, you'll be able to flatten most opponents.
