Rise of the Obscura Alchemy Singleton Decklists
For these events I’m going to keep the base lists for each article and a few on top that are specifically tailored for the event, so if you see a repeat in archetypes, this is why!
Feel free to replace any cards you don’t have with something that serves a similar function; the beauty of Singleton is that you don’t need all the powerful cards for the deck to play optimally!
You can also find these Alchemy Singleton decks and more at our deck database.
As a note for this event, realistically the base decks are going to work very well as most of them are designed with aggression in mind, whether utilizing it or attempting to quell it. The Obscura connive Emblem can be very strong, but for the average deck, it’s a pretty minor upgrade that won’t be a huge deal for either side. That said, the first 3 decks are all designed to utilize the emblem as much as possible.
