Scarlett and Sanguine Gate: how the Fire starter deck plays
Fire is simple: hit the leader. Then hit the leader again. Bloodlust gives a card +1 attack the first time each turn it targets a leader for an attack, and the starter deck is full of it. Heads up: Reckless Beanz, Vandal, Burning Edge and Cinderborn Cub come from booster packs, not the starter box.
Bloodlust bodies
Reckless Beanz, Vandal (1 IKZ), Alley Dog (2) and Hell Hounds (5) all have Bloodlust. Inner Wrath gives a cost 4 or less entity Charge and Bloodlust, so a fresh entity hits right away.
Sanguine Gate gives a Bloodlust entity +attack equal to the portaled entity’s Gate Power. Portal, pump, swing.
Getting past Defenders
Burning Edge is +3 normally, but on a Bloodlust entity it gives +1 and Infiltrate instead, so Defenders can’t redirect. Ruin Raider Grunt can give itself Infiltrate too, then it’s sacrificed at the end of the turn.
Two hits, then Scarlett
Scarlett pays 1 IKZ to deal 1 more after you did combat damage to a leader two separate times in a turn. Cinderborn Cub gains Bloodlust after a Bloodlust hit, so it is a great second attacker.
Battle Tempo, Shurra adds 1 after its hit, but that extra damage is a card effect, not a second combat hit, so it doesn’t count for Scarlett.
What stops you
Stillwater Sealstone stops every base-cost-2 entity attacking, and Rippled Reflections stops effect damage to their leader. Sealstone is a 0/3, so Ember Marksman plus Collateral Beanz (2 + 1 damage, 7 IKZ) takes it out on your turn. Kill it first or your 2-drops are cooked.
