Word of advice from someone that has been in this since January 2020, make use of those neutrals with Reach. Having 2 monsters using melee against the first position will help so u aren't stuck with one card not doing anything, or worse, a range attacker in 2nd position right off the bat. The neutrals are there for a reason, use them. Even back when I first started, I can count on maybe 2 fingers the amount of draws I've had.
Also, if you are playing with Death, make use of the Undead Priest. That one less life goes a long way. I'll be glad to share more insight on the game and whatnot via the Local Celeb Status guild.
