It's somewhat cheap, but a very effective way to win. |
How to use the Deck Builder
If you'd like to take a swing at Deck Building and share your creation with others, you can totally do that by using the Deck Builder Option on the official Shadoverse Worlds Beyond website. The Deck builder works very similarly to the one already in the game, except you aren't limited to just the cards you have on your Shadowverse account.
Once you create your deck, you can even save it to your account (provided you're logged in), create an image of your saved deck, or even share it around using a temporary code or a permanent QR code.
There you have it. Have fun trying out these decks, or even making your own in the Shadowverse Builder based on these ideas. If you're looking for a different type of card game, check out Monster Train 2.
