Card game: advanced tips?

[Velorien]

I can get to level 40 in the card game without breaking a sweat, but then I hit a wall. My deck is currently as follows:

Focused Cast+
Amplify Magic
Plane Shift
Divine Reach+
Amplify Magic+
Electric Orb+
Enlarge Orb+
Mage Armour+
Amulet of Seven Keys+
Ring of Immunity
Ring of Outcasts+
Ring of Shielding+
Potion of Charming+
Potion of Confusion+
Potion of Swiftness+
Scroll of Distraction+
Wand of Baffling
Wand of Shifting
Wand of Tempest
Wand of Channelling+
Wand of Scripting+

The strategy that gets me to level 40 is this:

Focused Cast+ gets sent to the bottom of the deck.

Focused Cast+, Amplify Magic, Divine Reach+, Enlarge Orb+, Mage Armour+, Amulet of Seven Keys+, and Ring of Shielding+ are my enchants. Early on, I may swap in the Ring of Immunity to get rid of debuffs, then swap it out again. I use the Wand of Scripting+ to get an upgraded copy of Plane Shift, the Wand of Channelling+ to reduce the costs for Electric Orb+ and Ring of Outcasts+ to 0, and everything else to debuff the enemies until I've gone through the deck.

At the end, the only cards in my deck are Ring of Immunity, Plane Shift, Plane Shift+, Amplify Magic+, Ring of Outcasts+, and Electric Orb+. Playing Amplify Magic+ and Ring of Outcasts+ gives their benefits even if they go straight to the discards, so I just cycle them and Electric Orb+ with the Plane Shifts, which gives me daze stunlock, more damage every turn, and lots of healing from Ring of Shielding+.

However, this doesn't get me past level 40. As soon as I hit five enemies with a layer of debuff protection, they obliterate me before I can get anything in place, sometimes on the first turn. What should I do?

Here's a deck I'm using:

Sweeping Blow
Multishot+
Heroic Charge+
Sweeping Blow+
Plane Shift
Plane Shift+
Amulet of Domination+
Potion of Energy
Potion of Energy+
Potion of Swiftness+
Wand of Shifting
Wand of Tempest
Wand of Shifting+
Wand of Tempest+
Unholy Power
Scroll of Ender
The Equalizer
The last 3 are legendaries and I think it's not a big deal if you don't have them.

Ha, I run exactly the same deck :-)

Actually I add dual wield and hidden strike

For the record, the final, winning version of my deck was as follows:

Focused Cast+
Amplify Magic
Plane Shift+
Divine Reach+
Divine Grace+ (filling the seventh slot instead of Amulet of Seven Keys)
Amplify Magic+
Electric Orb+
Enlarge Orb+
Mage Armour+
Amulet of Wiser (legendary, replacing Ring of Immunity and Amulet of Seven Keys)
Ring of Outcasts+
Ring of Shielding+
Potion of Confusion+
Potion of Swiftness
Potion of Swiftness+
Scroll of Distraction+
Wand of Shifting
Wand of Shifting+
Wand of Tempest+
Wand of Channelling+

The strategy is the same as before, but faster cycling made a huge difference. Of course, there's still room for optimisation.

I hate how I struggled with the card game for 5 whole days, then farmed enough dust with a garbage deck for a theorycrafted deck, before I realized I can cut half the cards while making it better, before finding this thread...

Anyway, I've found a 100% reliable FTK deck for anything that isn't Bebe (and should beat Bebe on turn 5 100% of the time with correct play):

Sweeping Blow+
Plane Shift+
Amulet of Domination+
Potion of Swiftness+
Scroll of Knowledge+
Wand of Scripting
Wand of Shifting
Wand of Channeling+
Wand of Shifting+
Scroll of Ender

(Yes domi does literally nothing but i got emotionally attached to it after hard carrying me to lv40, so replace with equalizer maybe if you aren't doing Bebe, might make the FTK a couple cards faster c:)

Basically it boils down to [haha Sweeping Edge go brr] for 18 AoE per cast, 4 times per turn, or 9 on turn 1 with ender, which is sufficient to kill everything including 120hp+3 armor monsters and fire wurm.

Also made a far cheaper version that can't FTK but pretty much guarantees 3TK on lv40s based around the same idea, if anyone's interested feel free to check this guide.

Would also love to hear improvements/other good cheap decks because I only test played like 5 games and went "yup, good enough" lol.
