In my last article, I discussed deck themes.  Now I shall tell you about some subthemes and what decks you use them with or against.

Stall:  Cards like Jelectro or Piranha Plant.  These cards are very hard to get rid of and can delay the game for a few turns, giving you time to draw the card you need or to put some other cards into the proper position.  Use with: Permission, Big Creatures.  Use against: Weenie, Mid-strength.

Blanket Damage: Cards like Bowser or Blargg.  These cards distribute damage throughout an entire land.  Use with: Anything.  Use against: Weenies.

Distant Damage: Cards that allow you to damage other Minions from a distance.  Use with: Anything.  Use against: Permission, Weenie.

Damage Block: Build many Buildings that reduce damage, such as Fortress or Parapet, making it very hard for your creatures to get killed.  Use with: Mid-strength, Permission.  Use against: Big Minion.

Damage Double: Buildings that increase damage.  Use with: Weenies.  Use against: Mid-strength, Big Creatures.
