Summon deck: complete guide
By Khaan · Updated Oct 07, 2026
The Summon deck fills the field with Temp Minions every round, and other cards grow with each summon. It hits from round 1 and the game team recommends it.
Who summons
officialOfficial text of each card, at 1★/2★/3★:
- Hogsteen: summons 2 Temp Steenhogs that inherit 25% of its ATK.
- Cabby Trainer: summons 1/2/4 Temp Cabby Pups with 4 ATK.
- Orange Bros: creates 1 Temp clone with 50% of its ATK.
- Sunny Banker: summons 1 random cost 3 or 5 Minion, with 35% of Sunny Banker's ATK.
Who profits from summons
- Ginger Honcho: on every summon, 3 random other Minions gain 1/2/4 Temp ATK.
- Sir Rose: gives +2/4/8 Temp ATK to every summoned Minion.
- Archmandrake: gives +20%/40%/80% ATK to summoned Temp Minions (at least +10/20/40).
- Chomper: devours up to 2/4/8 Temp Minions per round and gains 2 ATK for each one.
officialThe pace, per the official guide:
- Early: Cabby Trainer, Hogsteen and their summons hit from the start.
- Mid game: Chomper devours Temp Minions to free space, and Ginger Honcho raises the team's ATK.
- Chomper needs at least 1 empty tile to act.
