The Card Game for Beginners

Onmyoji: The Card Game is a game with lots of unique characters and pretty awesome graphics that you should definitely try, especially if you like titles like Legends of Runeterra and Hearthstone.

Below we take a look at some of the best decks in Onmyoji: The Card Game, so you can try to find something that is ideal for your playing style. Of course, each character comes with their own strengths and cards, so based on that you can try to put together a unique deck that has the potential to take anyone down.

However, if you’re new to this game and you don’t know exactly which character has a good strategy, let’s look at some tips on how to prepare your deck better, here are some tips for playing Onmyoji: The Card Game for beginners.

Characters don’t really die, they will come back to life after a while

As you probably already know, if you’ve played other card games, when one of your main character’s cards has died, they may not be able to come back to life without help (say by using a certain card to revive it). In Onmyoji: The Card Game, the overall mechanics are different. Your characters will actually never die and stay dead, but on the other hand, if they take some lethal damage, they will come back to life after a few turns.

In that case, you don’t have to worry about bringing them back after they die. What you need to know is how to use cards better to level up your character and strengthen them, so you’ll be able to put down your opponent’s cards in cooldown time, so they can’t do anything.

Save your healing card for the next stage

You almost never want to use any healing cards in the first place. You might be tempted to use it just to level up a Shikigami, but please avoid that. As a complete beginner, you need to know which Shiki to level up first, and the best way to do it.

Don’t bother with healing cards in the early stages, because even if a Shikigami dies, they will return after a few turns. It’s better to use healing cards once you really need a strong and upgraded Shikigami, than trying to level up something else.

Make sure you clear all the Beginner Trial stages and story stages before you start PvP

You should try to complete all the missions you can before actually starting your rank game or any other PvP game. The main reason why you should do this before anything else is because once you complete the Trial stage, you will be rewarded with an SR card, which will be a great addition to your future deck.

Another main reason why you should focus on your PvE content first is because you’ll also get used to your cards, learn what each Shiki card can do, and you’ll also get to experience other decks that your opponent’s AI has. Plus, you’ll learn how to perfect your playing style.

SSR cards are great, so don’t leave them in your deck

When you’re constantly trying to summon new cards, at some point you’re bound to receive an SSR card. It doesn’t matter whether you are an f2p player or not, you should try to get those cards into your deck. SSR cards have that rating for a reason, which usually means very strong in the right situations.

Practice new strategies and new card combos

There may be many deck options on the list we are going to provide, but you should try different plays to find out exactly what they do and what cards/strategy they provide.
