Overview & Win Condition
Starch BOOM leverages Spudow's unique Guardian and Kabloom classes to create an overwhelming board presence. The deck centers around the massive value-generation of Starch Lord alongside duplicate-heavy threats like Imitater and Veloci-Radish Packmate. Once your board is wide and unmanageable, you can close out the game with a massive burst of unblockable direct damage via Sonic Bloom.
Mulligan Strategy
Securing your early drops ensures your value engines have the breathing room they need to operate in the mid-game without getting rushed down.
Always Keep
Forget-Me-Nuts, Garlic, and Veloci-Radish Packmate. These cards secure early board control, frustrate zombie trick phases, and put down immediate multi-lane threats.
Vs. Aggro
Berry Blast and Fireweed. You need these fast, cheap removal tools to clear early high-damage targets like Quickdraw Con Man or Disco-Naut before they spiral out of control.
Turn-By-Turn Sequence
Early Setup (Turns 1-3): Drop Forget-Me-Nuts to immediately tax Zombie removal tricks. Use Garlic to protect your fragile engines and divert aggressive frenzy zombies. Keep board parity by answering early threats with Berry Blast or Fireweed.
Mid-Game Expansion (Turns 4-5): This is your pivot point. Establish Starch Lord behind a Garlic or other high-health buffer to start generating free Root cards and buffing your board. If Starch Lord isn't safe, playing Imitater followed by Veloci-Radish Packmate creates an explosive, multi-lane swarm that scales rapidly.
Lethal Execution (Turns 6+): With a wide board established, drop Sonic Bloom to hit the Zombie hero for massive face damage. If the game drags out against control decks, slam down Gravitree to force large zombie threats out of your key value lanes and secure ultimate lane dominance.
