What is the best Nur deck in Might & Magic Fates?

The strongest Nur builds are spell-tempo decks. They contest early with ranged units, control the board with cheap removal like Dispel Magic and Slow, and close with Chain Lightning and value engines like Storm Terrace.

How do you play Academy in the early game?

Use cheap ranged units to trade up and contest the board, and answer key threats with flexible spells rather than committing creatures. Hold your reach spells until they swing the game in your favor.

Nur, Academy hero card in Might & Magic Fates

Nur is an Academy hero in Might & Magic: Fates. Academy is the arcane faction of spells, ranged units, and Constructs — it wins by controlling the board with efficient removal and finishing with burst spell damage.

This guide covers Academy's spell-tempo game plan, the cards a Nur deck is built around, a sample list, and the mulligan habits that keep you in control.

Nur's Playstyle

Academy is a spell-tempo faction. Nur uses cheap ranged attackers to contest the board early, leans on flexible removal to stay ahead, and converts that control into damage with reach spells.

Contest early with aggressive ranged units that attack safely.
Answer threats with cheap, flexible spells instead of trading bodies.
Close with reach — Chain Lightning and Storm Terrace finish what the board started.

Key Cards

These cards define a Nur deck — build around them:

Cost	Card	What it does
6	Chain Lightning Legendary	5 damage that chains to two more targets — a board-clearing finisher.
3	Hasafah, the Unseen Arrow Legendary	Ranged body that deals 3 damage on arrival.
4	Storm Terrace Legendary	Flying engine that pings and develops over time.
6	Akane, Caller of Memories Legendary	Shelves 3 cards for long-game card advantage.
7	Lightning Speed Epic	Grants Double Attack for a surprise lethal swing.

Sample Nur Deck (Spellcasting Tempo)

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

2	Dancing Dervish	Spell synergy — pings after you cast

Mid game & payoffs

Cost	Card	Role
3	Hasafah, the Unseen Arrow Legendary	Ranged tempo + removal
4	Storm Terrace Legendary	Recurring value engine
6	Akane, Caller of Memories Legendary	Card-advantage payoff

Spells & removal

Cost	Card	Role
1	Dispel Magic	Answer a problem creature cheaply
2	Slow	Lock down an attacker for a turn
3	Air Trap	Hard removal for flyers
1	Arcane Armor Rare	Protect a key unit from spells
6	Chain Lightning Legendary	Board wipe / reach finisher

Mulligan Guide

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

Keep cheap ranged units so you contest the board on curve.
Keep a one- or two-cost spell to answer their opener.
Redraw Chain Lightning and Akane early; save them for when they swing the game.

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

Matchups & Tips

Vs aggro: trade with ranged units, hold Slow and removal for their biggest threat, and stabilize into Chain Lightning.
Vs control: grind with Storm Terrace and Akane for card advantage, then end it with reach.
General: don't over-spend removal early — bait out their threats, then answer the ones that matter.
