Considering that these guys don’t get magic for killing Units, and Natazga’s deck gives you extra incentive to attack Walls, using these cheap, beefier Units to beat on Walls seems like a match made in heaven. We saw Shiva’s Puppets a couple weeks back with the same excellent stats, but the statline is even more prominent here. Obviously the big thing here is the statline – 2 Life / 2 Attack Value for 1 magic. Perhaps the most interesting common that Natazga fields, though, has nothing to do with Vine Walls at all:Īll he wants to do is kill you and take your skull. It’s a big deal to be able to sit back on your side of the Battlefield (potentially even protected by a Vine Wall!) while dumping more Vine Walls onto your opponent’s side. And there’s that 2-attack value again – key in Natazga’s deck for being able to trigger OVERGROWTH, and this time from range. The 2-ranged / 1 for 2 statline isn’t something the Swamp Orcs have had up to this point, and this card is a great addition! The ability to attack through Vine Walls with 2 dice is potent – oftentimes meaning that these guys can snipe safely as opponents won’t want to risk moving through the vines to engage them. Here’s a card though where its ability gets used all the time: And if you can keep him alive for a turn or two, you can get some attack dice in before you do that. This guys basically says for an extra magic and one of your attacks this turn, you can place a Vine Wall up to 3 spaces away from one of your Walls. Thinking about it further though… everyone likes Mugglug’s Event, Vine Growth, which lets you place a Vine Wall adjacent to a Wall. But in Natazga’s deck where you can’t just kill one of your own guys to automatically get a Vine Wall when you’re trying to grow that swamp, these guys have a place. However, thanks to his 2 AV, you can always just beat on a Wall instead and try to use OVERGROWTH to get that Vine Wall. To be honest about this card, I used it more for its 2 AV for 1 magic than I did for its ability, but sometimes there just aren’t cards on the board that you want to attack, and this will give you something to do with an extra attack slot. Kind of like Skrub, who must be his idol. Give up an attack, deny the opponent a magic, and make a Vine Wall. This guy really is all about Vine Walls… so much so that its basically his lifelong dream to become one.Ībout as straight forward as they come, folks. TWO!Īnd we’re back with another edition of “Vine Walls and you!”Īctually, this set of cards out of Natazga’s deck isn’t really all about Vine Walls, though the Swamp Orcs wouldn’t be Swamp Orcs unless they did something with the vines. Plus, Preview Monday will be twice as nice as usual, with TWO Summoner Wars previews per day. Programming Note: Due to the large number of cards to preview, we are starting the previews before the pre-orders are available.
