  • Always keep 1 tile empty. With no tile, the summon doesn't appear.
  • Ginger Honcho or Sir Rose? Both: the two decks on this page run them together.
  • See where to place each card in Positioning.
No Chomper or Hogsteen yet? Cabby Trainer and Ginger Honcho are free in Adventure Mode chapter 3, and the beginner guide builds a deck with them. Open the guide
