How to play the Dark Mages

Fill the board with cheap units and Skeletons, then sacrifice them at the right moment to power up your strongest cards. Curse the enemy's biggest unit early: it will die when the Curse runs out, however much Health it has. Cards like Soul Baron and Maw Eternal grow every time something dies.
