What should Lotus of the Mizuryuu take?
Entities that will keep mattering: Defenders, entities damage can’t remove, and entities with lasting abilities, two or three at a time when their costs add up to 3.
Step by step
- If you’re attacking this turn, take the Defenders first: Penny (1), Sloth Scarecrow (1), Alley Mudcrab (1), Foamback Crab (2), Penny, Blissfully Unaware (2), Barleytail (3), Raimaru the Stolen (3) or Lone Journeyman (3). Lotus also takes untapped entities, which your attacks can’t.
- Foamback Crab can’t take damage from card effects, so it’s the hardest of them to remove any other way. Crab and a 1-cost entity fit together.
- Otherwise take lasting abilities: Mocking Dummy (1) shrinks your attackers, Silver Current, Haruhi (2) deals up to 1 once a turn when it attacks, Black Jade Crewleader (3) hits harder with a weapon.
- Leave entities that already used their On Play, like Hayabusa Itto, Ruby or Link, unless nothing better is there.
Good to know
Entities in the Alley are out of reach, and so is anything costing 4 or more.
Fractured Domains isn’t out until November 20, 2026. This is our read of the revealed card text, not an official ruling.
