Beasts
Beasts are the wild cards of the Wild Frontier. As a neutral faction, they can be mixed into any deck without counting toward your two-faction limit. Flying predators, venomous serpents, and ancient ironhides fill gaps that your main factions leave open.
Who They Are
The Beasts owe allegiance to no one. They are the dire wolves, the sand serpents, the thunderbirds, and the canyon crawlers — untamed creatures that roam every corner of the Wild Frontier.
They cannot be reasoned with and they cannot be tamed. But if you are strong enough, they might fight alongside you — for a time. When building your deck you choose 2 main races, then mix in as many Beast cards as you want.
Playstyle Overview
Beasts are not a standalone faction — they are the best role-players in the game. Every deck benefits from the right Beast splash.
Beasts do not count toward your two-race limit. Any deck can run any number of Beast cards alongside their chosen factions.
The Scorch Hawk family dominates the skies. Flying creatures bypass Cover Tokens and reach targets that ground units cannot.
Great Dust Serpent and Giant Sidewinder weaken targets on hit. Stacking venom debuffs makes even large creatures vulnerable.
Ironhide Ancient cannot be buffed by friendly effects, but its raw stats and devastating Last Stand make it worth the tradeoff.
Signature Keywords
Fits into any deck. Especially strong in aggressive Goblin builds (Scorch Hawks) or control Straw Elf shells (Ironhide Ancient).
Bypasses Cover Tokens. The Beast faction has the highest concentration of Flying threats in the game.
Scorch Hawk Alpha attacks twice with Flying — one of the most dangerous two-drops available.
Reduces target Defense by 1 on hit. Stack it with Double Barrel for rapid stat shredding.
Ironhide Ancient deals 5 damage to all enemy creatures on death. Scorch Hawk Tyrant nukes its own lane for 4.
Dust Devil Condor is untargetable and Flying — one of the hardest-to-remove creatures in the format.
Scorch Hawk Scout draws a card on play. A cheap Flying body that replaces itself.
