RavenPyros Duels Card Tier List

How I rank: a card earns its place by doing more than a plain hero of the same cost. Duels is won on the board, so the top tiers are heroes that bring something extra: a card drawn on Summon (Nanaya, Ninsun, Athena), removal attached to a body (Beowulf, Mulan, Banshee), or staying power that is hard to trade with (Ward, Intercept, Phoenix). Cheap cards that keep paying off, like Xquic and Precise Strike, rank high too. Spells that cost a card without leaving anything on the board tend to rank below heroes. Imprint, Vengeance and realm-lord cards (like Akuma for Izumo) are ranked for a typical deck and get better in a deck built around them.
