Sweet dreams for now...Nightmare is coming
If the Nightmare clan is the one you are smitten with, here are some of their inexpensive cards to start a competitive deck with:
7
2
Poison 2, min 4
Stop Opp Bonus
As you can see from above, there are slim pickings among the cheap Nightmare cards, so I would advise you to only attempt at building a half-deck.
Here goes: first off, get Sargh. One of my personal favorites, he's often underestimated and underused; if I need to fill 3 stars with a Nightmare card to complete my deck, he's almost always my pick.
Afterwards, it would be wise get Eadh, who is especially effective against opponents' stronger cards. He already has solid stats for a 2-star, but add to that a decent ability and he makes a solid wall.
For the third card, I would go for Hel, just to get some much needed damage in. Hel's a great card that you'll sometimes find in more advanced decks, as well. Make note that if you put fury on her, she has the potential for 8 damage, so it's smart to keep her 'til the end of a match.
Finally, round out the deck with either Timmy or Sheitane, two poison cards. Although Sheitane is without a doubt the better card, I've picked Timmy due to his much lower price tag (Sheitane barely even makes this list due to her relatively high cost for a beginner). If you are patient, however, know that Sheitane is an investment that you won't regret, as she's a staple in all Nightmare decks.
Overall, I would say the Nightmare half-deck proposed above lacks some damage, and there are really no viable substitutes to fulfill this need that are worth the clintz (Nerfeniti has high damage, but lacks power and is thus more of a reducer/bluff card). Furthermore, the cards are crippled by any cards with the SOA ability (not by the more common SOA bonus that the Roots and Gheist possess, however). Hence, I cannot really recommend this clan for a beginner just starting out (5.5/10).
Long term, though, those cards might last you a while, especially if you decided to go for Sheitane. Sargh, Eadh, and Hel might also see some limited action, but even if that is the case, the Nightmare clan remains one of the weaker ones in the game (7/10).
