Rotation Archetype Overview

Aggro Forestcraft is a deck archetype that has been around for as long as one can remember. It utilizes many low-PP followers, such as Fairies, to quickly rush the opponent. This deck is quite unique for an aggro deck, as it also has the potential to control the field using cards such as Wood of Brambles and Insect Lord. This deck may be difficult to manage at first, but with high proficiency, it can take down any deck in the format!

Rotation Core Cards

Card
Fairy Whisperer Expansion: Base Set
Fairy Driver Expansion: Wonderland Dreams
Greenglen Axeman Expansion: Dawnbreak, Nightedge
Elf Song Expansion: Starforged Legends
Wood of Brambles Expansion: Wonderland Dreams

Wood of Brambles: This single amulet is able to shut down certain matchups and it makes it much more difficult for the opponent to get rid of your followers. This card is searchable via Starry Elf, since this is the only amulet in the deck.

Fairy Driver: This card is the main source of burst damage in the deck and it is often recommended to be played on turns 7 or 8 (or later), accompanied by 3 or 4 fairies, respectively.

Greenglen Axeman: This card has taken the place of Ipiria after the card adjustment as a new finisher. However, this card functions quite differently, sacrificing an explosive, one-hit damage (like by Ipiria) for persistent damage.

Rotation Alternative Options

Card
Ariana, Natural Tutor Expansion: Starforged Legends
Ipiria Expansion: Starforged Legends

Ariana, Natural Tutor: This silver-rare card is quite versatile: it provides a mid-sized body, follower removal, and player damage. This is a great way to deal with opposing Ward followers.

Ipiria: Although the recent card adjustment raised its cost from 5 to 6, the Ambush ability and its high attack power is still attractive in an aggressive deck. Three copies may be a bit overkill!

Rotation Budget Options

Card
Greenglen Axeman Expansion: Dawnbreak, Nightedge

The cards mentioned above are great budget options for the deck, and it can take place of a few copies of the Greenglen Axeman. However, the core deck itself is relatively cheap to build, so the cost may not be much of an issue.

Rotation Deck Mulligans

Water Fairy / Goblin: As an aggro deck, it is very important to have a turn 1 play. A single copy of this card can easily deal 2-3 damage, making it that much easier to end the game.

Fairy Whisperer: Although it has very low stats, this card is extremely important in generating Fairies that will be used in future turns for board presence and combos.

Other 2-PP followers: All 2-PP followers in this deck have great effects and it would be good to keep them also.

Insect Lord / Elf Song: These cards are generally only kept as a set with other cards, especially Fairy Whisperer. Try not to keep these if you are missing crucial turn 1~3 plays in your opening hand.

Wood of Brambles: This card, along with Starry Elf that searches for it, is high priority against Forestcraft, Shadowcraft, and Portalcraft (or any decks that utilize a bunch of small followers) opponents.

Rotation General Gameplan and Tips/Tricks

The first few turns are of vital importance. Mulligan aggressively for a 1-PP follower and try to follow the mana curve and flood the board!
Sometimes, it is worthwhile to hold on to a few fairies to use it in combination with Insect Lord or Elf Song.
This is one of few aggro decks that is also proficient in board control, through the use of cards such as Wood of Brambles, Rayne, Elf Smith, and Airbound Barrage.
Use Leaf Man in certain matchups not only as a damage boost, but to protect followers from effect damage.
