Fliers, walls, archers watchtower

Played my first 2 games as the Siren. The books weren't really built to be high-level competitive but just to get a feel and it is tough to play. Board positioning, timing, knowing where and when to save mana and what spawnpoints/familiar to use and when...gonna be a fun book to test and figure out the ideal strategy.

I think including promo cards in your spellbook is like cheating.

It's nothing like cheating.

I'd love to get the lava map for real.

Yea, I'll admit I was surprised not to see the Kinship book that wrecked me the last time we played.

My main start and it worked all three rounds was the following:
Rd 1 (20) - Crystal & either Asyran Cleric or Disciple of Radiance
Rd 2 (21) - Temple & another cleric or Disciple
Rd 3 (17) - Deploy Ehren, Harmonize Temple, and summon Broken Wing Angel to begin the healing on Ehren.
Rd 4 (15) - Deploy Sharpshooter or White Cloak, and then my casting depended on how well Ehren got healed but I either brought out the Renewing Spring or Hand of Bim-Shalla and then

And then I probably started enchanting things with Blessed Focus or brought out the Crown and armoring creatures up to do two things, help them out and save mana so I can start bringing out the bigger guns from the Temple (Brogan, Guardian Angel, Archer, Aurora, etc).

Against the Druid in my 2nd match, Ehren got only one 1 healing from the Broken Wing Angel and then only 2 from the Renewing Spring so I had a backup plan there and it seemingly worked since I also knew it'd be a long match that came down to life...I threw a life link on Ehren and then put on a Regrowth Belt and Sunfire Amulet which healed him, healed myself, and started growing my life as well.

Against the Necro in the finals, I thought I was done. I was down to 4 remaining life, there was a Deathlock on the board but the Necro was only at one remaining life but I had Enfeeble on me and the Necro was 2 zones away and the only action I had left was my own. I knew a Drain Soul was coming if I couldn't figure something out and then I remembered something I ALWAYS forget. Restore. I removed the Tainted from a previous Drain Soul and got me those 6 life back and then I had enough creatures that I was able to swarm towards the Necro in the next round while keeping myself protected from ranged attacks with a Guardian Angel.

If anyone wants anymore specifics, let me know.

This is one of the reasons I don't post my decks here. The original poster clearly has a style he wants to play with this book and is looking to tweaks to get it to work that way and most of the suggestions are dump 85% of the book and play the same way as everyone else does. I remember I posted a Direwolf buddy build back in the day for a Beastmaster and it felt like all of the suggestions were dump the strategy I wanted to play and instead cast falcons, bobcats, and timber wolves.

That being said, some of the options I'd look at are you have a lot of zone exclusive conjurations...the best case scenario is you can probably get out 6. I know a few are backups but you can probably get rid of an Watchtower. Those work better with walls as it gives you the Indirect trait. Your archers are pretty powerful as they are so they don't really need the Ranged +1. Other than that, all I'd suggest is eliminate a creature here or there and then play a match or 2. If you think you need him, put him back and take someone else out. We can give all the suggestions from our own styles but it really comes down to test, observe, rinse, and repeat. You'll figure out what you need to take out, add, and tweak.
