### Nilmi deck strategies

1. The hyper focus strategy :

* For this strategy the recommended starting deck should consist of { Meditation, Kendo, Nilmi, Announcer Tsuki},
* The Aim of this strategy is to use a combination of both Kendo and meditation to add powerful focus minions to your hand and focus them as fast as possible

2. The buff contender Strategy

* For this strategy the recommended starting deck should consist of { Contender, Kendo, Nilmi, Announcer Tsuki}.
* The Aim of this strategy is to use relentless minions like Kendo to scale contender in the early to mid game and use her to push for lethal
* Cards to draft while using this strategy include { Kendo, bullet fist, Kaze split, aura guard, jab gloves }
* for this build Aura guards acts as a source of protection for your contenders while jab gloves are considered a very good removal option once your contenders have reached a high enough power from scaling
* it is recommended to add trinkets like " barrier/-1 cost/ guard" to your contenders to assure their safety in the early game.

General Balance Tips and tricks

* Kendos are the life and soul of a Nilmi deck as they provide you with both focus for your focus units, trigger nilmi's Blitz burst, remove threats on the field and scale contender for late game this is why it is always a good idea to draft more Kendos or cards that adds them to your hand "Kaze split, bullet fist" when possible and to get the +1 power trinket on kendo when you can

* Meditation is generally one of the better balance spells to draft while playing Nilmi as not only does it have a low cost but can generate a lot of value with cards like "Yaza, or Rishu" for the late stages of the game without having to play these cards in your deck.

* Rishu is one of he best focus cards that you can draft while paying Nilmi as it basically refunds you all the Kendos that you used to focus him while having a good 6/6 body on the field

* One thing to keep in mind while playing Nilmi is that it is more favorable to place your minions in a way where no two minions are placed behind one another as that will give you the needed space to place your Kendos in whatever line the opponent have placed their minion on.
