Cross blitz demo Brass Guide

### Disclaimer:

I wrote this guide from my experience playing the available demo of Cross Blitz on steam, as a result of my limited playing time this Guide should be considered more as a starting guide rather than an accurate strategy, feel free to leave comments if you disagree with any of the points presented in this guide.

### The deck's main strategy

* Admiral Brass' deck is based on hitting the enemy aggressively and overwhelming them with several cheap pirate units with high power to gain an early victory before opponents is able to put a significant force on the field.

* Pirate recruit's class as a pirate and level up rewards transform him into one of the best  1 cost units in the game. Thanks to the buff from both his level rewards and starting relic, he starts with a sold 3/1 stat line with the tough ability allowing him to deal significant damage to the opponent from the get go .

* Barrel Mutt is the deck's main searcher, allowing it to draw more pirates with each combat . Furthermore, because to his level up upgrade, which reduces his cost to only 2 mana, he may be summoned as early as turn 2, providing the deck an early card advantage over the opponent.

* Cutlass Swine is the deck main damage dealer and its center focus unit having when fully leveled up an astounding 3/3 starting stats with "barrier", "Rush", and "double strike" all for the low cost of only 3 mana making her able to potentially deal 6 damage to the enemy hero at the turn she is summoned. not to mention that she can be further buffed by extra trinkets or unit effects.

* Admiral Brass is the deck leader and the end game pusher as it gives every pirate that is summoned after him both rush and extra power, this effect combined with the deck's blitz Burst can be a true game ender.

* While this deck is very effective at dealing a ton of damage to the opponent in the early stages of the game, it is also very susceptible to board wipe spells that can kill the decks momentum. leaving it unable to catch up to opponent in the later stages of the game.

* Alternatively this deck can easily integrate into any other Pirate strategy in the game as most of their cards are generally just very good pirate cards.

Cards to consider Drafting for this strategy:

* Brutal Tyrant ( Can Further rise your Cutlass Swine attack )
* Cutlass swine ( your best damaging unit draft her whenever you can )
* Rig beak (both a good searcher and also a flying unit making it a good choice for a backrow attacker)
* Sweltering Smash (a good board clear card that can also draw you into more pirates)
* Cap'n Violet (Provides a huge buff for all other pirates upon summon)
* Redwing Provisions (adds Rig beak without having him in deck)
* Sea Shante (searches more pirates for low cost)
* Sea Faring Abe (just like Violet provides a substantial boost to the pirates that are already on the field)

This guide is made upon personal experience of the Demo version of cross Blitz 0.57 which is subjected to change with further Updates/EA release
