The Daramek (red) faction revolves around sacrificing slave and herd cards and using rites to generate resources and attack.
Daramek heroes have a unique method for keeping their board full, utilizing sacrifices and allies to draw out all their other allies, or other vital cards, directly, unlike the Vespitole faction's card cycling. Daramek decks tend to focus on either rite based decks or herd based decks, rather than both, for a more steady output.
Babarus's Shrine of Rebirth can massively change the methodology for red decks, as it can allow multiple uses of cards in a single turn, which gives a noticeable boost to both styles of deck.
