Rating

A Power that auto-Forges 4-6 at the start of every turn. Once it's installed, Sovereign's Blade keeps ramping without effort. Longer fights stack more Forge, eventually hitting enormous Forge values.

Combined with Hammer Time, Smelter's auto-Forge propagates to all allies, meaning a single Power grants huge Forge to the entire team each turn. It's the backbone of Sovereign's Blade decks — paired with additional Forge cards, Sovereign's Blade reaches peak damage shockingly fast in long fights.

How to Use

• Install early to start the auto-Forge engine. Even without further plays, Forge ticks up every turn
• With Hammer Time active, fire Smelter first (or same turn) to propagate auto-Forge to allies
• Upgraded 6 Forge = 18 after 3 turns, 30 after 5 turns. Massive late-game presence

Good Synergies

• Hammer Time: Propagates Smelter's auto-Forge to all allies — everyone gets 4-6 Forge per turn from one card
• Battlement / Whet the Blade / Reforge: Additional Forge cards. Combined with Smelter, reach high Forge values fast
• Conqueror: Doubles a high-Forge Sovereign's Blade — the go-to finisher

Builds
