I'd say:
- Stick with 50card decks. Don't throw in more than 60cards. - Try to avoid throwing in many single copies of cards. Usually less variety of cards makes standard draw more reliable. - 3x Contested Village is must-have. - Warpstone Excavation and Innovation are usefull in 80% of decks. Those are great cards. Don't underestimate them when building a deck. - Try not to build deck with less than (at least) 9-12 supports that are capable of providing power to kingdom or mission. Heavily unit-focused decks won't work well since they are vulnerable to mass removal. (Troll Vomit, Master rune of spite, Flames of Phoenix, etc etc.)
