Quick Guide to Sage’s Garden Deck
Back when Supergiant launched, one of the more neat plays with her was SG on 4, Absman on 5, and then dump I to Hit Monkey on 6, which would then have absman flip and copy the monkey with all the other cards played!
So I thought I would take that idea and use it with Sage!
Card Choices
- Kitty Pride: A scaling card that can be placed almost anywhere is a must!
- Nico Minoru: Great card with flexible spells!
- Angela: With or without Kitty, Angela on 2 can get pretty big, a 2/8 is nothing to scoff at. She lets you scale in 1 lane early, and place kitty elsewhere later.
- Goose: Allows you to either protect your Angela, or even deny the enemy key locations.
- White Widow: I believe widow is a must with Sage. She puts two bodies on the board, clogs your opponent, and gives you sage +4 for 2 energy!! A great card to use.
- Mysterio: Making Mockingbird a 2/9 while also throwing your opponent off is great, plus it puts a card in each lane for any to be read by Sage!
- Sage: The deck’s namesake. She one of my favorite cards this month, and does a lot of good to help the deck actually put power on the board. Playing her last for Absorbing Man is key!
- Nocturne: She is here to help fix location variance. She also allows you to sneak into locations you’re not supposed to. Just a great choice of a card in this deck.
- Polaris: Deny’s the enemy the ability to fill the widow lane, and can disrupt their cards with movement!
- Absorbing Man: he can copy a few different things here. Any on reveal is good, but the key s Sage. Playing under SG’s effect will have him copy the last card you play on turn 6/7.
- Supergiant: She can do a lot of good to deny a turn 5 to your opponent. Can mess with Modok Hela, Prof X, Loki, and other archetypes as well by making them have to sort of “skip” turn 5.
- Mockingbird: Mysterio makes her a 2/9 which is insane. Not to mention there are a number of locations that continue to discount her cost further!
Alternate Card Choices:
Nocturne/Polaris can be Red Guardian or Green Goblin, as both are effective with Sage, OR Negasonic, as she has good synergy with both White Widow and Supergiant.
Martyr is also a consideration here because if you play her BEFORE Mysterio, she will check first, and then if Mysterio reveals and you flip a lane from it, she won’t fly and lose you the game!
