Hello everyone,
Mortal Judgement expansion is upon us! And with a new expansion comes new fun, new combos and more excitement to the game! I have not followed along the cards that were in this expansion from the pre-releasing announcements, so I am a little bit clueless about what are the cards that were added.
However, I think just like everyone here I was so excited so I went on and bought 1 rare and 2 epic mortal judgement packs and opened them, so I want to share them with you so we can get to know the new cards even more in depth and see where they might shine. So let us see now what are the cards that I opened in these packs:
Rare Pack
Vexing Rascal
This card would seem like a really good option for nature decks if the new expansion holds early game creature heals for nature. If more spells like Revivification added to nature this card can shine as it can really help establish board early game with the 2 damage it deals.
Unannounced Arrival
I do not see this card being so useful except if there was a certain magic deck that rely heavily on a 4 mana creature in it, then you can summon it with this card earlier and get control of the game. Otherwise, you can simply switch it for a lot of other better spells since magic does not rely a lot on summoning creatures.
Single Combat
This card can be a great combo with the war creature that regains a shield after attacking as you can remove 2 creatures for the enemy without even sacrificing it. And the empower here is awesome as well as it will make the spell cost 4 mana but gives +2/+2 so it is huge if needed!
Mobilized
This card might be a good card in an empower deck. A deck where you have a lot of empower cards, this way you can get the empower for 1 less mana.
Vengeful Surrepite
This might be a decent one for zombie death and also for an anubian deck as it can get rid of a 2 mana enemy creature for 1 extra mana, and also being a 3/2 creature for 2 mana is not bad itself. Definitely will try it and see how it does!
Second Pack (Epic)
Reach into the black
This one would be an amazing card for anubian deck I think, although I still did not try an anubian deck, I think it is helpful to fill board and make use of these 3 1 mana creatures in addition to the Pharaoh's Heirloom. I will check out how did anubian decks work maybe this one will help me in them!
Brink Watcher
Although I was happy this card was diamond, and epic at the same time, I do not see it as being very useful to be honest. If he received a buff he will be a 2/4 for 2 mana which is awesome, but what are the chances of getting the buff and how? Maybe there are cards for such decks since I still did not see all of them I just hope he will be meta somehow :p
Unrestrained Power
Is this the new Sharpen? Definitely a must try with the War relic deck I played a while ago, this could pack a huge punch to the face with the blade of Styx that is a direct 10 face damage for 6 mana, which can be a game finisher. Still how good it works remains to be seen since I still did not try it.
Scutler Sentry
This cards seem weak to me, I can not see how 1 damage for 2 enemy creatures might be of help at 1 mana with magic. The only way I can see it being useful is if there was an Atlantean good deck for magic then this card maybe a decent start.
Proud Protector
If this card has a card linked to it that can be called with echo that has high strength, this can be a huge combo as you can call this creature and give it a higher strength. Or vise versa! If you can call a protected creature let's say and give it the 4 strength this can also be huge.
Third Pack (Epic)
Helmna, The Spear of Life
Since this card says "heal every character" so your god will also be healed thus it will minimum get +3 strength. But still if no other characters were healed, the Cyclops Defender is a better version of this card I would say. Still maybe there are decks that can be built around it.
Blade Borrower
I still am not very familiar with how echo might affect the games, because I still do not know what cards can be called; however, the -2 strength here can be very nice to shut down an enemy creature and for only 2 mana so decent card I would say
White Fur Guard
7/6 creature at 6 mana is pretty nice, however with the big variety of removal options this can make it a bit less valuable. Also the empower 3 will make it cost 9 mana, which you are better off with a poly, anagreos and many other options in this case I would say.
Intimidating Uplifter
I feel like this card will be so awesome for light decks. As Light relies heavily on buffs, and also with this one being a 2/2 creature which Light needs so much. And the+1/+2 buffs can be very good so I am thinking of playing Light and trying it out with them!
Undertow Rover
Again, I am not very familiar as if there are good Atlantean decks, but I can see this card only working in an Atlantean deck of course because of it's effect. So whether we going to see it a lot or not remains to be seen!
Final Thoughts
Remember that this post is only my opinion and what do I expect from these cards to do, I still did not dig deep into the new expansion, so no one knows what new combos might be brought and what card might surprise us with what they do. All we can do now is keep experimenting and trying out these new cards while enjoying the game.
I certainly do hope this new expansion brings more fun to the game rather than making it more frustrating like at some points before, and I hope everyone have a great time trying out the new cards. This post was intended to take you guys with me through the new cards hoping you can discover and learn about them as well!
I can not wait to try new decks as I still did not try any of the new cards yet, so I am very excited I hope you are too! See you guys on another one I will soon be posting new decks with new cards that I think will do good in this meta and hope you all have a great week!
Mad Love, Peace out <3
