The main gameplan of this deck is to sacrifice small characters to boost Maw and make tokens with Mottenlaterne.

The most effective card to keep for early and midgame is Amarok. using Amarok and any card that makes multiple characters you can easily boost Maw four times for a very cheap price, all while Amarok has decent stats itself.

The best cards to use with Amarok are:

• Mondlicht-Qualle
• Ordis-Kadetten
• Chrysalis
• Ordis-Aufseherin

This combo gets even better if you have a moth lantern in the expedition with Amarok, doubling the number of sacrifices and boosting Maw even more.

The best cards for removal and utility are cards that have sacrifice effects or cheap characters with an on play effect that can be sacrificd later.

Here are the cards I've used for this:

• Geschenk des Selbst
• Babas Isba
• Zahnfee
• Ab mit dir!
• Bumm!

Once you have enough mana, Kleiner Schritt, großer Sprung and Der Krake are great ways to finish out the game, or simply use Amarok to boost Maw as much as possible

Update-2/3/25: I've removed Boom and swapped it for spycraft After playing for a while I realized that the rare slot is better used for moth lantern as the cheaper price makes pulling off combos with it much easier. Spycraft is great for a bit of extra value, but it could easily be swapped for any good card draw or removal.

Update-2/23/25: Boom is back, and ordis carrier is out. Playing the carrier always felt like too much of a tempo loss for a fairly weak effect, and more removal was definitely necessary. Subbing boom for banishing gate and move babas isba to rare would also work well.
