Dear Phageborn community!
One of the things we are very proud of in our game is the art. That beautiful, dazzling, dark fantasy art gives our game a recognizable style, while inspecting card art is a good way to shorten the time when waiting for your opponent's turn to finish. So today we will give you a little insight into some of our favorite Vestige cards while we remember the times that passed and eagerly wait for the new ones to come.
Ah, Vestige... Once great guardians of nature, now dwindled under the Phageborn's influence, they have embraced the madness and their nature magic became dark, imbued with poisonous effects. Even though the first things that come to mind at the mention of the Vestige are powerful witches and alluring nymphs, the Vestige are so much more. It wasn't only them that changed. The nature that they have sworn to protect, their beloved wildlife, became twisted, instilled by evil spirits, adding new soldiers into their ranks...
Sporelurg and Deathfesters are some of those creatures. Their vile nature and newfound abilities make them formidable opponents on any of the Isilith's battlegrounds.
Sporelurg, the Moss Nourisher
„As much as the trees and shrubs were changed when the witches spiraled into madness and the forest took a turn for the darker, fungal organisms fared even worse. The decay infused every pore and every spore and mutated them into abominable perversions of the natural order.“
When the fallen evil spirits were transforming nature, even the fungal organisms weren't spared but were turned into boltus, fungi predators. Sporelurg is an intelligent being, created by the merging of numerous boltus. Even though the sight of it can be quite captivating, do not be fooled! Sporelurg has strong acid, and while boltus use that strong acid to dissolve their prey for easier consumption, Sporelurg's spores are used to enhance weapons by giving them the same effects of that digestive acid.
Sporelurg is portrayed by a legendary card, costing 6 essence with attack and health being set at 5. Don't forget to utilize its effect! While Sporelurg is on the battlefield at the end of each of your turns your friendly non-local units gain Caustic 1. And yes, that effect stacks!
Deathfester
„Every end is a new beginning, and these creatures profit from each one, rummaging through the carcasses to gorge on the remains.“
Deathfesters are scavengers and there is only one thing on their mind: What will they eat next? That mindset is the reason why Deathfesters are a very common sight after a boltus attack, devouring anything that the boltus didn't consume. However, they are not peaceful creatures. Their insatiable hunger often makes them attack anything alive, so if you ever see them while taking a stroll through the Forbidden Forest be sure to hide!
Deathfester is represented by a common card which costs 5 essence. While card’s stats are 3/3, Deathfester has an effect Caustic 1 which means that any unit who attacked Deathfester or was attacked by him is affected and will take 1 point of Acid damage at the end of your turn.
As long as a Deathfester is on the battleground, their special effect applies. Whenever acid damage destroys an enemy unit you draw a card. Use that effect to your advantage, having extra cards in your hand can give you that strategic edge over your opponent.
