<p>You can use cards from just the Second Summoner deck without mixing them in with the original faction decks. In fact, this is how my wife and I play; we keep each deck in its original form rather than deckbuilding. If you look at the descriptions for the packs on <a href="https://www.plaidhatgames.com/games/summoner-wars" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Plaid Hat Games website</a> (emphasis mine):</p>

<blockquote>
  <p><strong>This Second Summoner deck is a full faction deck with its own Summoner, set-up card, Champions, Commons, Walls and Event Cards.</strong> <em>It requires a Summoner Wars Master Set or Starter Set to play.</em></p>

<p>The part in bold is what you care about; it's a fully functional deck on its own. The part in italics might be your concern. The reason you need a starter or master set is to get the player boards/mats and the tokens.

<p>If I want to play with the second summoner of a particular faction, do I have to use cards from both the original summoner pack and the second summoner pack, or can I use only the cards from the second summoner pack?</p>

If I want to play with the second summoner of a particular faction, do I have to use cards from both the original summoner pack and the second summoner pack, or can I use only the cards from the second summoner pack?
