Dear Denizens of Issilith!

Low-cost units that can be impactful in the mid to late game are always a great addition to any deck. That is the opinion our dear Glyn shares with many card game players.

FAVOURITE CARD: Krorn Catapult

“Much like the Drakkoriths, the Krorns take great pride in their machines of war.”

Krorns are in many ways similar to Drakkoriths with a few small exceptions, such as their smaller stature and average engineering skills. So they will mostly get their siege weapons from the Drakkoriths or commission them from the Klexrav. They can make their own if needed, though those are quite simple. But since Krorns use siege engines in their training and try to develop new tactics, they will make sure that this crude little catapult will get the job done.

Krorn Catapult is a neutral unit that costs 3 essence. With its power and health set at 3, you would think you get exactly how much you pay for with this card. However, Krorn Catapult also has a demolish, meaning it will deal double damage every time this unit attacks the Core. Don't forget to utilize this if you can, as it can easily turn the 3 damage this sturdy catapult has to 6, with just a little bit of planning and a pinch of good luck.

WHY: “It's a sturdy, and cheap card with great art. It doesn't draw attention to itself, or set off alarm bells. You can just get it on the table, and sling damage around. It's a great workhorse in any deck.”

Dear Denizens of Issilith,

We have had some reports of Nox Bat Younglings infiltrating our system and causing some connectivity errors with our most recent build.

Due to this, we have decided to postpone the competition for this weekend. This saddens us greatly and we apologise to anyone wishing to take part this weekend.

We are looking for the Nox Nest as we speak and will remove these rooted Nox Bats as fast as we can and get everything back up and working as it should be. We are hopeful we will have this infestation under control by next weekend so the great competition can resume!

Thank you all for your understanding and patience while we resolve these issues and get these critters out!

Yours Truly,
PHAGEBORN Team

Dear Denizens of Issilith!

FAVOURITE CARD: D'dall Reaver

“D'dall creatures are in fact the dismembered body parts of the immortal demigod of the same name, driven to reunite and recreate the body of D'Dall once more.”

In ancient times, when gods walked the lands of Issilith, one powerful being threatened their very existence. It was the D’Dall, an abominable creature, an immortal demigod created with one sole purpose - to slay gods. Clearly, the gods could not let him live, but they could not kill him either. It was one of the rare occasions where the Dragon Gods put their differences aside and worked together to dismember the D’Dall, scattering his remains across the land. It didn’t take long for the dismembered parts to become sentient and start to roam the land, seeking to fuse together and bring back the ancient demigod to his primal form. Now, some of his parts roam the Emerald Islands as well, fighting their way back to become whole once again.

D'dall Reaver is a 5-cost unit that has its stats set at 4/5. While not too impressive by its sheer stats, the effect of this card is what puts it at the top of the picked cards. D'dall has a really impactful reap effect, especially if you manage to utilize him in the early game. Every time D'dall attacks and kills a unit, if he survives, he will fully heal and gain +1/+1.



WHY: “Reason I like that card, I've always been a fan of cards that have a great spot in a tempo deck, which the Reaver has in spades - I can play it on turn 5 straight away and try rush it into a low attack card to instantly start the buffing - As I play a deck that includes plenty of unit buffs too it means that I can often support it with shield tokens, +1/+1 buffs and so on. I'll use it as a way to get my opponent to commit far more than they'd want to remove it, that is unless it just gets censured.”
