Dear Denizens of Issilith!
PHAGEBORN has many interesting units with different combinations, both by themselves and in synergies with other cards. Those combinations will allow you to take down creatures from your nightmares and get the most out of every situation.
Ascended are known as restless warriors of vengeance, fighting for what they believe is right. However, not all Ascended take the same route in achieving their goals. Some prefer the more offensive route, such as those following the teaching of Tey, while others focus on defending their comrades and providing support for them. Even so, among those that take the more defensive route are the ones that prefer a more…aggressive approach. After all, sometimes offence is the best defence. At least that is the point of view of Centurion Chargers. These bulky Duran soldiers are known for their sudden charges, flanking their opponents, and catching them off guard. And thanks to their durable armour, they don’t need to think twice about rushing amidst their enemies.
Centurion Charger is a 4-cost Ascended unit whose stats are set at 2/4. While it may not seem like the appropriate amount of damage for a 4-cost card, this unit gains quickstrike until the end of its turn whenever it changes zones. And, if you consider that this unit has swift as well, a whole new world of opportunities will open. Swift will allow Centurion to attack after it changes zones, gaining quickstrike in the process and allowing Centurion to deal damage before the retaliation damage applies, meaning if the Centurion kills the enemy unit while having quickstrike, it will not take any damage. All this makes the Centurion Charger a great unit to gain board advantage during early turns or for finishing powerful units with a sliver of health.
