Core Strategy of Buff Green Aggro
This deck focuses on establishing an early board presence with buffable Penguins and ensuring strong Vibe Checks to accumulate Rods quickly. It operates through two key components:
Buffable Penguins – Penguins that thrive when their Vibe is increased.
Buffing Tools – Cards that help boost your Penguins' Vibe to win early Vibe Checks.
Key Buffable Penguins
Penguin Whose Garden Grows
– Boosts its Vibe by 6 at the start of Action Time if another Penguin is tied with the largest Penguin in play. This ability allows for quick board dominance.
Peppy Penguin
– Gains +6 Vibe at the start of Action Time if it has at least 6 Vibe, making it a self-scaling threat.
Popcorn Penguin
– At the start of Action Time, it ices the lowest Vibe Penguin in play, making it a crucial control tool.
Buffing Tools
Sliding Penguin
– Boosts a Penguin’s Vibe by 2 at the start of Action Time.
Supportive Friend
– When entering a huddle, it permanently boosts a chosen Penguin’s Vibe by 2.
Inspiring Story
– Grants a Vibe boost of 2 to all Penguins at the start of the Action Phase.
These buffing tools help push key Penguins like Peppy Penguin and Popcorn Penguin
into game-winning conditions.
Removal and Utility Cards
This deck also includes efficient removal and support tools:
Got 'Em!
– One of the strongest removal spells for early threats, particularly against Popcorn Penguin
.
Walk the Runway
– Ices the lowest Vibe Penguin in each huddle, a great tool for handling mid-game threats.
Sneaky Penguin
– Provides deck filtering by letting you look at two cards each turn and choosing one.
Green Mega Penguin
– Offers a way to ice your own Penguins when necessary (e.g., preventing Popcorn Penguin
from icing itself when no enemy targets are available).
Hungry Penguin
– A late-game tech card that can flop an opponent’s large Penguin, allowing you to win the final Vibe Check.
Mulligan Strategy
When Mulliganing, prioritize finding:
Two-Drop Penguins – You need early board presence to start winning Vibe Checks.
Buffing Cards – A combination of Sliding Penguin
or Supportive Friend
is ideal.
Got 'Em!
– If you expect early threats like Popcorn Penguin
from your opponent.
Avoid keeping:
Late-game cards like Romulus Who Roams
and Hungry Penguin
, as they are only relevant in the final turns.
Multiple removal spells if you don’t have early Vibe presence.
Matchup Strategies
Versus Aggro Decks
Early Penguins are key – Winning early Vibe Checks ensures you scale faster.
Prioritize removal – Got 'Em!
and Walk the Runway
are crucial to keep opponent’s aggression in check.
Snowball Popcorn Penguin – If left unchecked, Popcorn Penguin
can control the board completely.
Versus Control Decks
Play aggressively – You want to overwhelm control decks before they stabilize.
Save finishers – Keep Hungry Penguin
for the final turn to counter an opponent’s large Vibe Penguins.
Adapt to board wipes – If you suspect a board clear, hold back resources and develop Rods instead.
Versus Caffeine Mega Penguin Decks
This deck naturally does well against Caffeine Mega Penguin builds due to:
Clean Up Good
– Completely swings the Vibe Check against flopped Penguins.
What a Twist!
(Tech Option) – Can unflop your Penguins to counter their debuffs.
Removing non-essential cards – Adjust the list by dropping Green Mega Penguin
in favor of more Clean Up Good
.
Budget Substitutions
If you are missing key Rare cards like Popcorn Penguin or Romulus Who Roams
, here are some budget-friendly alternatives:
Koi Penguin
– Works well as a finisher if Green Mega Penguin
is unavailable.
Pointsrich Penguin
– A budget replacement for Romulus Who Roams
, still serving as a strong finisher.
Curious Penguin
– Can replace missing three-drops for additional consistency.
Escape in Time
– A flexible tech card against control decks.
