This deck pivots well between offensive and defensive strategies. Play accordingly and either build more Lotus weenies to keep using Die!!! to clear the board in your favor or play more aggressively early with Architect cards if you draw them instead. Once you have Stand Together and tons of Demons out simply continue to play out your larger Characters to overwhelm for the win. These Characters all compliment the deck well and have good matching abilities to help you to keep pushing. A menace of a deck that takes some time and momentum while depending on larger hand size and huge swings of Character plays. It runs cheap and most Characters play out for free so you don't need to overly worry about Power. If you're comfortable with being the passive player you can surprise your opponents by suddenly being on top.
