Deck of summoning

The deck of summoning deals with cards that summon allies (and in some cases, enemies) for the player. It is one of Nemelex Xobeh's decks. Under Nemelex, you can hold up to 13 cards.

It contains the following cards:<ref>Template:Source ref</ref>

• the Dance (16.6%)
• the Elements (16.6%)
• the Illusion (16.6%)
• the Pentagram (16.6%)
• the Rangers (16.6%)
• Swarm (16.6%)

Strategy

Summoned monsters are always useful, and Nemelex is one of the best gods for them. Most cards can create multiple monsters, meaning you have meatshields to hide behind. Over the course of the game, the average strength of each card diminishes, though a clone of yourself or a pandemonium lord will kill just about everything up to Zot.

Triple Draw lets you avoid hostile summons from the Pentagram, but otherwise is poor for card efficiency. Even then, you could just keep drawing until the situation's clear. If you need to save on turns, Draw Four is a strong ability: it creates a true swarm of allies for when you really need to block line-of-fire.
