@jim151 If you have the Blessed Idol, then that is a great start. It doesn’t matter that it has a low health, the effect (20% increase in Bird Health) is what is important. I used a wood level Blessed Idol in combination with a sweet flag for a long time through the first season.
The Blessed Idol and a Sweet flag gives you most of the important properties of the Blessed set. Another option is the Blessed Idol with a flag with Vigor (10% reduction in damage to you birds). In the lower leagues I always used a Rage Shield. This is very important if the opponent has a wizard.
For the Birds you can use, as others have suggested, Rainbird (Reborn), Druid (Sweet or Nightmare) and Rogues (Save Me). But I mostly use Paladin armed with Protectors Aura instead of Rainbird. This provides a further 10% reduction in damage to your birds. With this team I essentially target one bird at a time and let the poison take down the bird. If you make sure the poison knocks out each opponent bird, then you essentially gain an extra turn. This is because the poison takes effect during the opponents turn, and so the knocked out bird does not get an increment until the following turn. And I usually only ever give the Rage Chilli to Matilda.
Lastly, the Wood league is not very competitive at the moment. You could probably get through to the Stone league by completing just 3 sets of objectives.
