	Prior to 0.10 it was ideal to wait ~400 turns after receiving a gift before drawing more cards or sacrificing items, as it would only go toward reducing the card countdown (which would go to zero on its own anyway). In 0.10 the card countdown is only reduced by card use and sacrificing, and it is impossible to get a net gain in decks purely through card-draws. You must do some sacrificing as well in order to keep up your deck supply.

	* [[Deck of destruction]] - A variety of ranged attacks scaling with power level. This deck has been buffed a good deal since this guide was originally written. In particular, the Torment card has been removed. At low power the only risk of self-harm is the 50% chance of [[Olgreb's Toxic Radiance]] on the Venom card. At power level 2 the [[~~Deck_of_destruction#Pain_card\|~~Pain card]] casts [[Symbol of Torment]] and the [[Spark card]] casts [[Orb of Electrocution]]. To protect yourself from the latter, be sure to target any draw from a Legendary deck at least 4 squares away on a clear path.		* [[Deck of destruction]] - A variety of ranged attacks scaling with power level.

It's a pretty well balanced deck in terms of utility.

	# A common piece of advice is to attempt to get a deck of Wonders as early as possible by sacrificing a stack of permafood the moment you start worshiping Nemelex. The payoff for doing so is the possibility of drawing an Experience card, giving you a sizable power boost that helps in the early game. The deck also contains Helix cards (which can leave you horribly malmutated), Shuffle cards (which will leave you with stats that are useless for the background you're playing), Wild Magic cards (think of them as playful little mini-[[Zot trap]]s), and Sage cards (which often divert useful experience toward skills you will never use). Unless you're fine with the possibility of losing your character to a gamble, use Draw ~~Three~~ to dig for Experience cards.		# A common piece of advice is to attempt to get a deck of Wonders as early as possible by sacrificing a stack of permafood the moment you start worshiping Nemelex.
