The four Gothic pre-constructed (precon) decklists are helmed by Necromancer, Savior, Persecutor, and Harbinger. The Gothic precons feature 36 spells and 14 sites. While they are great ways for new players to get into Sorcery: Contested Realm, they need additional cards to play in a sanctioned constructed event that requires 60-card Spellbooks and 30-card Atlases.

Zac and Phil share how they would update these precons for $10 or less in the video below:

Below are all the cards we added to each updated precon. Notably, neither of us added Toolboxes to any decklists because it would have taken up the majority of a $10 budget. If you can acquire Toolboxes for these decks, it would increase their utility by giving you access to the Collection.
