Arcanyst

Arcanyst is a tribe of minions that usually have spell synergies or synergies with other members of the tribe.

Notes

• Ancient Bonds introduced a lot of new Arcanysts. Many are Neutral but Songhai, Vanar and Abyssian got each three new Arcanysts.
• While these three factions seem to be a natural candidate for an Arcanyst deck it is possible to create an interesting Arcanyst build with other factions because many Arcanysts are neutral!

Strategy

• When running an Arcanyst deck, it's important to pack your deck with plenty of spells in order to get the most use out of them.
• When building an Arcanyst deck, don't forget to add the neutral Owlbeast Sage who directly supports other Arcanysts and let you create a board with a lot of high hp minions.
• Arcanysts with the Bond keyword will only activate that ability if there is a friendly Arcanyst on the board when they are summoned.
