Will mainly be played for 8 cost. Creates a huge board while being able to attack the enemy leader for 6.

8.7
United Resolve

United Resolve

This card is really easy to use and has a powerful effect.

8.7

It can't brick your hand due to its accelerate effect. As a 7-cost follower, it's very strong at answering enemy followers while creating 10/10 in stats.

8.6

All of the cards you can get with this card's effect are quite strong. In addition, the evolve effect can be useful at every stage of the game.

8.6

This card singlehandedly secures you the early game, while being playable at all points of the game.

By drafting this card, it vastly improves your options over the course of the game as it can be searched from deck by playing 4 cards in one turn.

8.3
Ladica, Nature's Claws

Ladica, Nature's Claws

Pretty strong but reliant on drafing natura synergies.

8.3

Great card for Natura decks. It can answer many boards while developing your win condition. The evolve effect when achieved is also fairly strong for only 4pp.

8.3
Twofold Grace

Twofold Grace

One of the best 2-cost followers you can play early game. It's also especially good with shadow cards

8.3
Chronos, Time Tuner

Chronos, Time Tuner

One of the most powerful cards after Turn 10, but many games don't go that long, and even if they do, there's no guarantee you will draw this card at the same time. The evolve effect can be strong against certain classes, especially Portal, which relies on high-cost cards to swing the game.

8.25
Desert Wanderer

Desert Wanderer

Good stats for a 2-cost follower. One of the best cards to enable Natura Synergies, since it gives you trees without needing to give up tempo.

8.25

Good stats with Ward effect. The last words allows your followers to clear enemy followers without evolve points. Its evolve effect is also exceptional, giving 12/8 in stats.

8.2

Flexible card. Mainly used as its 3pp form which can clear almost any board while drawing a card. However, if aiming for the 8pp version, you need to plan ahead as it cannot fuse Neutral cards.

This card is just a very powerful 2-cost follower in terms of tempo.

8.2
Kyrie, Fragment of Hope

Kyrie, Fragment of Hope

Good at all stages of the game and particularly powerful with evolve point due to the play point recovery effect.

8.1
Grimnir, Divine Stormspear

Played early game with evolve point to reset the board and deal damage to enemy leader. Pretty difficult to get full value from this card in most drafts

8.1

A good two cost follower whose strength depends on if you started first or second in the game. Going second, this card can create unrivalled value for its cost.

8.1

All of this card's effects are possible. However, you should take care when fusing 3 cards as this will be a significant investment of resources.

The free evolve effect is not difficult to activate, so the card is able to draw a card and destroy an enemy follower easily. The evolve effect is usually good, but quite ineffective against classes such as Portalcraft.

8

Fallen Angel's Blessing

Both choices are fairly strong for their cost. Evolution point recovery or 4 healing are both very strong effects especially with their strong statline.

8
Scavenger Scarab

Scavenger Scarab

Proactive card even without evolve. Evolve turns it into a strong resource card

7.95

Despite costing 6, it's a strong tempo reversal tool that helps clear the opponent's board, heals your leader and damages their leader.

7.95

Strong with evolve effect but doesn't really progress anything in this format

7.9

Is strongest in the early game where the +1/1 buffs are more impactful. However, is good at most points of the game.

7.75

Keep in mind that this can be manually evolved to attack face and clear enemy board at the same time. Scales well into the later stages of the game.

7.75
Loving Embrace

Strong card for natura drafts. Especially if Ladica is drafted.

Good stats since the Fairy Wisp can be played immediately. It can also be saved to enable later combo plays.

Usually used as a cycle card with a 2/2 body.

Natura synergy card. Can be viewed as a resource card that can help control the board.

7.6
Snow, Pureheart Sage

Snow, Pureheart Sage

1 health can make this card a little weak to certain cards, but considering it draws you a card and has a strong evolve effect, it's situationally very strong

7.6
Frostborn Princess

Frostborn Princess

Worthwhile to play once you have played at least 4 cards in the same turn.

7.6
Support Troop Elf

Support Troop Elf

The main downside is that this card cannot be used in the early game aggressively, but its ability to be used defensively and its flexibility in the late game are good.

7.6

A strong reset option but still gives the opponent priority to set up their board again.

7.55
Angel of War

Angel of War

While a good card on paper, it can sometimes clog your hand with amulets.

7.55
Meddling Angel

Meddling Angel

Depends on the class you are drafting. Oftentimes just a 3-cost with a 3/3 statline.

7.5
Naterran Peace

Strong to enable Natura Synergies and can draw you a card by itself. In a synergistic draft, healing 2 is also quite strong.

7.5

Can snowball in the early game while being cheap cycle in the later stages.

Technolord: Origin

Can be good with a Machina draft, but requires setup for the effect to damage enemy leader.

7.45

Valkyria Lance

Usually an easy to use card that can make your neutral followers more useful and thin your deck. Better with Shadow cards

7.4
Provisions Aplenty

Provisions Aplenty

It's a reasonably efficient cycle card, but is negative tempo to use. Often the target for Meddling Angel

7.4

Journey to the Past

Requires set-up to be effective, but with the right situation and draft can be very strong.

7.35

7.35
Fairy Stream

Fairy Stream

Can be somewhat awkward to use. Sometimes very strong.

7.3
Sköll Guard

Sköll Guard

Heavily draft dependent. If you have a lot of natura cards, this is a much stronger card.

Ivy Coils

Good removal in the early game and sometimes the enemy follower being unable to attack might be useful. However, it's usually much worse late game

7.25
Fairy Whisperer

Fairy Whisperer

Negative tempo card on play, but technically a split 3/3 that enables fairy synergies.

7.15
Pining for Home

Pining for Home

Can't really play this card until turn 3 and onwards and the payoff is quite average. However, when drawing the perfect hand, the 0-cost generated can be quite useful.

7.15

Decent statline, keep in mind its evolve effect allows you to draw a card

7
Lonely Past

Can be pretty awkward to play this but is situationally fairly strong.

Effectively a delayed 2/2 with some level of flexibility due to fairies having a variety of uses.

6.2

The Queen's Favor

Can be a good resource card in the later stages of the game, but otherwise very expensive cost.

6
