Anastasia Deck Guide — Might & Magic Fates

Anastasia is a Necropolis hero in Might & Magic: Fates. Necropolis is the Undead faction — it wins by flooding the board with cheap creatures, recurring them endlessly from the Graveyard, and grinding opponents out in long games. If you like decks that turn every dead creature into more value, Anastasia is a perfect fit.

This guide covers how Necropolis wants to play, the key cards that hold the deck together, a sample Undead value list to start from, and the mulligan habits that win games before turn three.

Anastasia's Playstyle

Necropolis is a value attrition faction. Unlike aggressive decks that race for damage, Anastasia is rewarded for letting creatures die — because almost every payoff brings them back. Your game plan has three steps:

• Fill the board early with cheap Undead so you never miss a turn.
• Feed the Graveyard through trades; dead creatures are fuel, not losses.
• Recur and amplify — summon those creatures back, buff them, and out-grind the opponent.

Key Cards

These are the cards that define an Anastasia deck. Build around them:

Cost	Card	What it does
4	Amulet of Necromancy Rare	Whenever you summon an Undead creature, give it +2 Attack. Turns a swarm into real damage.
3	Necromancer Reinforcer Epic	Reduces the cost of your Undead by 1 — the engine that lets you flood the board.
4	Dance of the Dead Rare	Summon 3 cheap Undead from your Graveyard. A swing on a full Graveyard.
6	Soul Calling Common	Summon a Lingering Ghost for each creature in your Graveyard — your late-game payoff.
7	Atropos, Weaver of the Dead Legendary	Summon 2 random creatures from your Graveyard. Recursion on a body.

Sample Anastasia Deck (Undead Value)

A solid starting list. Treat copy counts as flexible — tune them with your own results.

Early game (cost 0–2)

Cost	Card	Role
0	Skeleton	Cheap body, Graveyard fuel
1	Lingering Ghost	Aggressive 2/1, recurs via Soul Calling
2	Necromancer Apprentice	Summons a creature from your Graveyard
2	Plague Zombie	Shrinks an enemy attacker on entry

Mid game (cost 3–5)

Cost	Card	Role
3	Putrid Ghoul	Grows every time a creature dies
3	Necromancer Reinforcer	Cost engine
4	Amulet of Necromancy	Swarm payoff
4	Banshee	Stuns a threat on entry

Removal & payoffs

Cost	Card	Role
2	Culling	Destroys a creature costing 3 or less
5	Mass Weakness	Blanks the enemy board for a turn
6	Soul Calling	Graveyard payoff
7	Atropos, Weaver of the Dead	Recursion finisher

Mulligan Guide

Anastasia wants to act on every early turn. In your opening hand:

• Keep at least one 1- or 2-cost Undead so you curve out.
• Keep Necromancer Reinforcer — it makes the rest of your hand cheaper.
• Redraw expensive payoffs like Soul Calling or Atropos in your opening hand; they're dead early.

For the full keep-or-redraw framework, see our Might & Magic Fates Mulligan Guide.

Matchups & Tips

• Vs aggro: trade early and often. Your creatures come back; theirs don't.
• Vs control: don't overcommit into board wipes — rebuild from the Graveyard instead.
• General: count your Graveyard before casting Soul Calling or Dance of the Dead; timing those for maximum bodies wins games.
