FAVOURITE CARD: D'dall Reaver
“D'dall creatures are in fact the dismembered body parts of the immortal demigod of the same name, driven to reunite and recreate the body of D'Dall once more.”
In ancient times, when gods walked the lands of Issilith, one powerful being threatened their very existence. It was the D’Dall, an abominable creature, an immortal demigod created with one sole purpose - to slay gods. Clearly, the gods could not let him live, but they could not kill him either. It was one of the rare occasions where the Dragon Gods put their differences aside and worked together to dismember the D’Dall, scattering his remains across the land. It didn’t take long for the dismembered parts to become sentient and start to roam the land, seeking to fuse together and bring back the ancient demigod to his primal form. Now, some of his parts roam the Emerald Islands as well, fighting their way back to become whole once again.
D'dall Reaver is a 5-cost unit that has its stats set at 4/5. While not too impressive by its sheer stats, the effect of this card is what puts it at the top of the picked cards. D'dall has a really impactful reap effect, especially if you manage to utilize him in the early game. Every time D'dall attacks and kills a unit, if he survives, he will fully heal and gain +1/+1.
WHY: “Reason I like that card, I've always been a fan of cards that have a great spot in a tempo deck, which the Reaver has in spades - I can play it on turn 5 straight away and try rush it into a low attack card to instantly start the buffing - As I play a deck that includes plenty of unit buffs too it means that I can often support it with shield tokens, +1/+1 buffs and so on. I'll use it as a way to get my opponent to commit far more than they'd want to remove it, that is unless it just gets censured.”
