My reasoning is that it is very easy to pair with a patron such as Saint Pelin and basically rush at a pace that very few decks can keep up with. Being able to sell every single turn can lead to an exponentially growing Prestige pool that just leads to a snowball victory.

Red Eagle enables every other deck - except Almalexia - to thrive better. Card deletion is just too strong. Even though it doesn't pair *well* with Almalexia, it lets you prune your deck until it is only made of powerful cards.

in a vacuum, i would also agree that red eagle is probably the strongest as others said due to the deck pruning

i like the Crow, Druid, and Pelin decks the most.
they have nice combos

I tend to prefer two decks working together, mainly Crow and Druid King.

The Druid king has some good combos and can get coin, while the crow allows you to move through your deck pretty quickly if you can get those cards. Then with the Crow Patron, you can turn that gold into prestige and either win or get one hand away from winning in a single hand.

If the NPC choses either of those two, then I now choose Mora, because the NPC will either keep getting rid of those cards, or they keep selecting them and using them to my advantage.

Against other players, I don't know which decks I would prefer, because I don't play against other players.

I have found that with NPCs, if the Sorceror king is chosen, you *will* be fighting over that patron, because the NPCs love to spam it and get that extra card, so I tend to not choose it, even though I Do like it.

Your opponent uses the same decks, so it doesn't matter.
