Team's Favourite Cards I
Dear Denizens of Issilith!
Have you ever wondered what Phageborn devs like the most about Phageborn? What are their favourite factions, cards, and combinations? So, our dear players, you have to wonder that no more! It's time to share some of the favourite cards our Phageborn devs love to play. And what better way to start than with the two persons who should know the most about cards and have the most objective opinions, our Lead Game Designer and our resident QA!
Team member: Nikša Lučev (Lead Game Designer)
Favourite card: Combat Librarian
When speaking of Drakkoriths one of the first things that comes to mind is their superior military tactics, and oh lizard, do they take great pride in it. For them, every battle, every engagement is perceived as a well of knowledge. And not to learn from it would be a great strategic oversight. That is why even the Drakkorith's scholars are expert combatants. Nothing can help you learn the opponent's strategies and their weak spots as the firsthand experience.
Combat Librarian is a 4 essence cost Drakkorith unit. With its stats set at 3/3, its cost may seem just a bit too much. However, as long as you have Combat Librarian on the battleground, every time a local enemy unit is destroyed in combat during your turn you'll obtain a Combat Note. Combat Note is an ability card which allows you to draw a card in exchange for 2 energy, allowing you to have the card advantage over your opponent.
Why: For our Game Designer, one of the most important things is that the faction-specific cards reflect the essence of each faction. In Nikša's opinion, the card that does that best is the Combat Librarian. For him, Combat Librarian perfectly reflects Drakkorith's flavour, both through name and art but also through gameplay functionality.

Favourite card: Vracac
Have you ever wondered how it would feel if you'd have a gift of immortality? If every time you'd die you'd be able to just get back up and continue with your quest? Well, one of the first things Vracac would say about that is that immortality is a curse. At least his immortality. He has died and come back so many times that he even forgot his origins as well as the real reason for his curse. With time, his whole existence was reduced to dying and getting back again, just to fall back down and start the process yet again.
Vracac is a legendary neutral unit. Costing only 1 essence, his stats are 1/1, but his effect is what makes him legendary. When your Avatar destroys a unit, if Vracac is in your graveyard he will spawn in the random zone!
Why: As you would expect from QA, what Josip values the most is the cost efficiency of his cards. And Vracac offers exactly that. Cheap and at the same time extremely versatile for the player, while irritating to play against for the opponent.
