Dear Denizens of Issilith!
Sumac may be the second favourite card for our dear team, however, there is one more hagly toxic Vestige card that made the list. And never forget the card which was most likely responsible for crushing your dreams at one point. Any guesses on today's team's favourite cards?

Favourite Card: Virulent Hag
The older a Vestige witch is, usually the more power she has to rely on. That is why you should never underestimate a Virulent Hag when you see one. She may be old, she may appear fragile, but she will hurt you in more ways than one. Her toxic words will curse you, your kin, their kin, and the kin of their kin.
Virulent Hag, a 3 essence cost unit, can bring a lot of value to your deck. While her stats, set at 2/3, are adequate, the effect of this card is what makes it so interesting. At the start of your turn, Virulent Hag will put 2 acid counters on a random non-local enemy unit. Position Virulent Hag in the lane where she will have the biggest impact.
Why: Virulent Hag is a great card. Especially if used correctly. It will easily help you snowball tempo and put pressure on your opponent just by having this card on the battleground. And all that for 3 essence! What else do you need in a card?

Favourite Card: Monster Slayer
Issilith is a home for many creatures, both big and small, benevolent and maleficent. You can imagine what havoc these big, bloodthirsty creatures can wreak. That is why Issilith's finest bounty hunters train their whole life so they can go head to head with such creatures. No bounty is too big. It only becomes more tempting.
Monster Slayer is a neutral card which means you can have it in your deck no matter which faction you choose to play. For 6 essence you get a 4/3 unit which can destroy a local unit with 6 or more power once you played it on the battleground! All that hard training really paid out.
Why: Its ability to neutralize a strong card that my opponent has on board is something that can easily swing the scale in my favour. That is why the Monster Slayer is my favourite card. The bigger the unit, the harder it falls.
