Forge #30 (7-0 silver)

## Hooru Stealth-Fortress

Strategy Overview:
This deck was drafted following a strict Survival & Tempo blueprint to hit a perfect 7-0. While the 3-drop slot was heavily congested, the inclusion of multiple Plunder sources allowed for elite consistency, ensuring we never missed a power drop or a critical piece of removal. The goal was simple: stall the ground with high-health "Walls" and win in the air with "sticky" flyers.

The "Executioner" Suite: 9 Interaction Tools
A key to this run was recognizing that Removal in Forge isn't just about "Kill" spells. This deck utilized 9 cards to delete or neutralize AI threats: Rule the Skies (x2), Topple, Overthrow, Root Ripper (Transform), Wind Channeler, Gravity Glove, Ghastly Perfume (Killer/Regen), and Covenant Peacekeeper (Stun). These options ensured that no "Boss" unit stayed on the board, whether it was a massive ground threat or an evasive flyer.

Key Synergies & MVPs:

* Drifting Drone & The Lifesteal Engine: The Lifesteal from the Drones kept us out of burn range and was activated in three distinct ways: naturally scaling its attack when the Gravity Glove relic weapon was expended, passing it a 2/2 Weapon via the Iron Priestess entomb trigger, or the less reliable but powerful Inquisitive Alchemist death-buff.
* Invisible Wall & The Stealth Package: With 6 Stealth units, the AI’s combat math completely broke down. The "Math Panic" caused by face-down units like Inquisitive Alchemist and Genius Combatant prevented the AI from attacking even when it had the lead.
* Valkyrie Emulator (The Consistency King): This 2-drop was the ultimate stabilizer. The Plunder ability allowed us to pitch low-impact cards like Awakening to find our 4th and 5th power drops, ensuring our top-end finishers weren't dead draws.

Tactical Tip:
Don't be afraid to Plunder early to guarantee your curve. This deck wins in the late-game; your only job is to survive the first 5 turns using Auren Brute and Invisible Wall to stall the board until your flyers or a massive Frostclaw Rider can close out the match.
