Summoner
This summoner was released in the Chaos Legion card pool, Another counter for magic other than Owster Rotwell for Death, and having an extra debuff on the enemy team giving them lower health. A good summoner to run in general if you don't know what the enemy team will run.
Build-Around Units
Our VIP unit of the week, release with Thaddius in Chaos as well this unit is comparable to all the other reach units of different splinter i.e Earth's Minoutar Warrior, Life's Sunkai Harvester, and Fire's Magma Troll with this card unique advantage of having higher health.
To have our reach unit deal more damage in the long run I have to use a good tank Harklaw in this case has high health and even armor paired up with that shield ability makes this unit a mainstay on most Death teams (interchangeable with Bone Golem if u think they are running Magic)
I consider this unit as a good backline tank with the ability to heal itself by +1 every turn it can take a sufficient number of hits before going down and with a low mana cost compared to other tankish units this one is a no brainer.
Battles
VS Sloan Life
Modifiers
With the blast modifier in place paired with Thaddius health debuff, this can make most teams crumble into dust all I need to do is make a team that can withstand the pressure of the opponent as the modifiers go both ways. As I looked through the opponent's battle history they were more prone to doing melee and range teams rather than magic so having Harklaw was quite handy overall.
In the end, I won with Harklaw and Shadow Snitch with their high health pools soaking up all the needed damage so our backline can stay safe and do their thing and making Venari Bonesmith another tank to deal with since it was left unattended.
Thoughts on the Unit
The unit is average overall even when it gains another point of damage when it gets to level 4 which is acceptable as it is a common unit at the end of the day. Other good qualities include that it is a secondary tank with its higher health pool and can even get the Affliction ability when it gets to level 6 to counter healing comps.
