Strategy Article
There is no comprehensive strategy article written for Lighthouse.
Lighthouse, like Moat, grants immunity to attacks. However, differences in the other aspects of the card make Lighthouse a much more reliable defense. In order to be protected with a Moat, it must be drawn in your 5 card hand. With Lighthouse, you must have played it at any point in the previous turn. Thus, With good card draw or deck cycling, it is much more likely to find protection from Lighthouse. Additionally, since lighthouse is non-terminal, it is much more likely to be played during your turn than Moat.
