Does White Forest require other engines?

[Papa Smurf]

Realise the Steam forum isn't the best place to go for informed opinions, but we're entering into a period of children's card games I'm unfamiliar with.

Most lists I've seen topping early are running a centurion package - I never went in to that pack, so it's kinda expensive now. Is it needed?

Also seen it played with Runick but I hate the way that deck plays.

Would P.U.N.K work with White Forest? Not seen it played, but I like PUNK so any excuse to play those cards is a good one.

It's kind of standard for modern decks, you *can* play it pure but there kind of aren't enough engine cards to fill out a proper deck. And it also has some really intense synergy with...a lot of stuff. Toy box, bystials, centur-ion, runick, even parts of the albaz lore decks. PUNK could work, but I think it might be awkward with the levels - white forest has 2s and 4s, PUNK has 3s and 5s, so you won't have many opportunities to combine them for anything other than generic extra deck staples

Ah, fair enough. Toy box seems fun, but not so much that I'd want to spend on it as well as white forest...Guess I'll keep saving up for Fiendsmith

Like most decks you can play it pure but the netdecks on MDM will end up having at least 2 other engines (and the usual suspects like Ash/Maxx C) anyway

kind of? I am a pretty pure player and I tend to keep things as pure as I can. While there isn't enough white forest cards to make the deck properly, if you mix it with some of the illusion support that was released with it (the original sinful spoil) who IS related to it, or if you want to mix it properly with snake eyes/sinful spoils, you can make it fairly complete AND pure. That said, I figure most people are hesitant to actually build it with snake eyes, and a lot of the snake eyes stuff is hit...so oddly enough it'd be more like running a snake-eyes engine in it? either way, I personally been running it by itself+ original spoil/the illusion rabbit stuff and its really fun and feels like its supposed to be played that way.

I genuinely don't know why all the "netdeck" tutorials for it don't include original spoil, shes stupidly easy to get out, fits the theme and is a soft anti-spell fragrance effect.

There's a few different engines you can play with white forest. I dont see Runick variant being played much on MD just because Runick has a lot of limits in it. People are just doing that because they're TCG brained. I have seen Spright being played with it on MD besides the ones Papa Shekels mentioned

I was considering coming back to being active and saw this archetype. I might look into this myself once I scrounge back up my gems.

Genuinely fun archetype, only bad side is that the more I learn about it, the more I kinda wanna play snake-eyes cus the story/lore is really good for this. On a side note, in terms of blending this with another archetype, witchcrafter is kinda on my radar for it. I wanted an excuse to do some stuff with witchcrafter, and apparently some others started mixing white forest with it already

Yeah, the archetype is pretty fun so far.

Hmmm a new tool for Runick to play with that doesn't involve flipping floodgates? I might have to check this out.

I knew about Toy Box ans Centur-ion because of their shenanigans. (tho Toy Box is too expensive for me).

Didn't even think about Bystials for some reason. I'm going to have to test that out.

I've played against White Forest Centurion and White Forest Toy box and never lost, definitely the hybrid deck is even worse than pure Centurion. I also looked at versions of the White forest on the TCG/OCG meta and even with future support it's nothing more than a slightly above average deck. I'm going to save the gems for Fiendsmith.
