The Sorcery: Contested Realm (SCR) battle box comprises eight decklists led by as many different Avatars. It offers an on-the-go experience to contest the Realm as well as a gauntlet to test any new brew against.

We’ve built a battle box that test news decks against to ensure they can hang against the Realm-at-large. A huge benefit of building and playing with a battle box is gaining a better understanding of how each Avatar operates.

Learning how to pilot a deck can help you discover how to exploit its weaknesses or reinforce its strengths. Building a battle box can make you a more well-rounded player and, perhaps, lead you toward which Avatars more closely align with your desired play-style.

Without further ado, here’s the eight-decklist battle box to build.
