Slava is a Haven hero in Might & Magic: Fates. Haven is the holy faction of Humans and Angels — it wins by building a wide board, buffing it with combat tricks, healing through damage, and bringing key threats back from the dead.
This guide covers how Haven wants to play, the cards that hold a Slava deck together, a sample buff-midrange list, and the mulligan habits that keep you ahead from turn one.
Slava's Playstyle
Haven is a go-wide midrange faction. Slava establishes a board of efficient Humans, then turns small creatures into real threats with buffs and protection while out-healing aggression.
- Build a wide board of cheap Humans so your buffs always have targets.
- Buff and protect — Bless, Celestial Armor and Holy Shield turn small bodies into game-winning attackers.
- Out-value with healing and Resurrection so trades always favor you.
Key Cards
These cards define a Slava deck — build around them:
| Cost | Card | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 5 | Eleonore, Voice of Harmony Legendary | Whenever a friendly creature is summoned, buff it. The payoff for going wide. |
| 4 | Angels Temple Legendary | Reduces the cost of a random Angel each turn — a recurring discount engine. |
| 5 | Resurrection Epic | Summon the last friendly creature that died — recur your best threat. |
| 6 | Divine Intervention Legendary | Restore 10 Health and grant Holy Shield — an anti-aggro lifeline. |
| 1 | Lay of Hands Rare | Buffs a creature for each friendly Human — scales hard on a wide board. |

Mulligan Guide
Slava wants to act on every early turn. In your opening hand:
- Keep at least one 0–2 cost Human so you curve out.
- Keep Tithe Collector — the extra gold accelerates everything.
- Redraw Divine Intervention and Resurrection 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, lean on Chain Heal and Divine Intervention, then stabilize and go wide.
- Vs control: apply steady pressure and hold a buff for after their board wipe; Resurrection rebuilds fast.
- General: sequence buffs after blockers are committed so your swing is unanswerable.
