Noobs and Shrimps do not give up hope! You do not need Bila the Radiant or Chthulhu to win your battles. Sometimes all you need is the right set up and an adundant battler!
With millions of new Reward cards flooding into people's decks, the usefulness of some of them has captured attention and earned high prices (relative to other new Reward cards). Mostly, it has been the "______smith" cards that have punched above their weights, but I had a battle that was perfect for one of the cheapest cards you can find right now... the Pelacor Mercenary!
The setup was a 27 Mana battle, I was going for a Light Splinter Daily Quest in Bronze II, but when I saw the battle condition pop up, I just had to try out the Pelacor Merc: Earthquake!
It is probably an obvious pick to go with this card for Earthquake, where cards that cannot fly take damage at the end of each round, so this report is not about my genius.
Instead I just want to give a lowly, cheap, common card its due. Here is the Pelacor Mercenary getting feady to face off against a violent group of Fire thugs!
In the end it came down to my crew of flying pests and the Pelacor Mercenary against the self-healing Cerebrus, and PM was the last man standing, err, flying!
So do not despair if you are a noob, shrimp, or little wallet who cannot buy your way up into a more powerful deck or just started trying to build with meager (and soon to shrink) daily rewards. There are still greate uses for the most common and cheap of cards, you just need to find those opportunities!
