I Will Survive... with Sakrohm

Sakrohm are a relatively cheap clan, so there are a good number of cards that you can get for a bargain:

6

Attack +8
-8 opp attack, min 3

6

Damage +3
-8 opp attack, min 3

8

+3 life
-8 opp attack, min 3

5

-3 opp damage, min 3
-8 opp attack, min 3

6

-6 opp attack, min 3
-8 opp attack, min 3

6

-4 opp damage, min 3
-8 opp attack, min 3

7

+2 life
-8 opp attack, min 3

Making a Sakrohm full-deck is a realistic possibility (I would replace Lunatik with Petra, or - a cheaper option - Corrina with Eris)., but it's not the best option. Hence, I'll be focusing on the Sakrohm half-deck.

The first card to get would be Nimestiec, since he's dirt cheap but forces your opponent to pill a fair amount most of the time.
Once you've saved enough clintz, then go for Murray, a staple Sakrohm card that is quite possibly my favorite card in the game. He is very powerful for a 3-star, giving you both high power and damage.
After getting Murray, you're faced with a number of different choices: you can go for damage, for damage reduction, or for a mix of both. My picks would be for Wakai and TrinmkkT, the former because he's the staple Sakrohm 2-star and the latter because he has a good combination of damage and damage reduction. However, if you want to build a half-deck that complements a poison half-deck, go for Na Boh instead of TrinmkkT to save you some stars. Ultimately, you have some sway with your remaining picks (you can even switch out Nimestiec later) and the deciding factor should be the star count of your deck - Corrina is like a bigger version of Nimestiec, while Lunatik is a slight downgrade over Wakai.

To summarize, a Sakrohm half-deck is definitely quite powerful, but the Sakrohms remain a support deck; they have a number of great damage reducers - Uranus being the best - that are useful against your opponents' strong, high-damage cards. For a beginner, their bonus will definitely help out, but they lack a good SOA card and lack damage (in the form of + life) when they face opponents' SOA cards (7.5/10).
Should you decide to go this path, however, you will eventually be rewarded, and Sakrohm is personally one of my favourite clans to play. Uranus is definitely required for a competitive Sakrohm half-deck, and Petra is not too far behind, but cards like Murray and Wakai often fill the remaining two slots; the other cards mentioned above are also seen less frequently (7.5/10).
