Boltyn Building Bible

Boltyn has long been a hero existing in FAB’s margins; from his release in MON in 2021 to now, he’s found success in small pockets of particular metas that play well to his strengths. Never has he stood in the limelight, claiming the glory and glamor of being a true blue meta force (I would digress at this point to insist he was a top three deck in the HVY metagame but we’d be here arguing all day) until now. IAR’s expansion slot has supplied him with not one, not two, but three new cards, all of which are immediate inclusions as well as huge shots in the arm for the hero.

This is all well and good as an entrenched Boltyn player, but if you’re looking for a starting point, there’s 5 years and some change of cards to be sifted through, and heads or tails made of them. I've been a Boltyn player for a long time, contributing LL points multiple times over and having played just about every card I can think of in the hero, I could certainly soapbox about what decklist you should play and how to play it, but instead today we’re going to take a holistic look at the Breaker of Dawn’s card pool, and sift wheat from chaff. By the end of this article, you’ll have the knowledge to understand what tools do what jobs, and the knowledge you need to build Boltyn decks for success.
