Each hero in Eternal offers a range of deckbuilding possibilities to explore. With the new Deck Check series, we’ll be looking at each new hero as they are released and considering a couple of different angles from which to approach them.

Within the waters of his pool, Brenn sees many things. Here are just two of the different paths that might lay before you:

Brenn's Moment 4 Brenn, Chronicler of Ages (Set3 #303) 2 Excavate (Set1 #71) 4 Seek Power (Set1 #408) 3 Slow (Set1 #70) 4 Torch (Set1 #8) 2 Find the Way (Set1 #513) 3 Purify (Set2 #176) 2 Teleport (Set1 #80) 4 Reliquary Raider (Set1 #110) 4 Ancient Lore (Set1 #105) 3 Brilliant Discovery (Set2 #177) 2 Obliterate (Set1 #48) 2 Bury the Past (Set3 #6) 2 Invoke the Waystones (Set3 #88) 4 Moment of Creation (Set2 #185) 4 Pillar of Amar (Set1 #122) 6 Fire Sigil (Set1 #1) 8 Time Sigil (Set1 #63) 4 Crest of Impulse (Set3 #251) 4 Praxis Banner (Set2 #171) 4 Seat of Impulse (Set0 #54) Sorting: 4x Brenn, Chronicler of Ages

2x Excavate

4x Seek Power

3x Slow

4x Torch

3x Purify

4x Moment of Creation

4x Pillar of Amar

6x Fire Sigil

8x Time Sigil

4x Crest of Impulse

4x Praxis Banner

4x Seat of Impulse 75 cards Export Copied!

With Brenn embracing his Praxis roots, you can use various disruptive spells to power out Pillar of Amar, and large Moments of Creation. Brenn into Slow, Teleport, Torch, and Purify can clear the path to slam your powerful 6+ cost spells, and help fuel the eventual Moment of Creation that finishes your opponent.

Sending Brenn out into the world gets a little bit wild, but this second direction has quite the payoff when it works:

This approach embraces Primal for card draw, and has a Nightfall subtheme to boot. The main payoff here is Brenn’s lost mentor, Talir, Unbound, who combines very nicely: Brenn ups your power, and if you don’t spend it, Talir keeps it. You can get to 33 quite rapidly, giving you an extra turn and a gigantic Talir to close things out. This deck also features mini-combos like Nocturnal Observer and Jotun Hurler, letting you discard either the Snowball or the Hurler for max value. This combo is a classic, and part of what makes this deck sweet.

The Brenn, Chronicler of Ages promo quest runs through Monday, April 23; you’ve still got time to earn your copies with your first PVP win each day, so get chronicling!

We’ll see you in the game on Steam, iOS or Android!
