Frosthaven Quick Reference

This is a compilation of notes, and particularly class level-up guides, that is intended for easy use during gameplay. It is not intended to be an in-depth exploration of game mechanics.

Deck Guides

My deck guides are pretty straight-forward: The intention is to provide a basic strategy for each class that adds a new card at each level, with sideboard cards for special scenarios, as well as their enhancement strategy with their priorities in bold. There are certainly good alternatives and more specialized builds (for example going back and getting a lower-level card that plays to a specific strength), but these guides create a solid foundation for each character that can be played in many ways.
