Scarab Warcharm
5/5 nuff said nub.
Alright, alright, you guys do deserve a bit more
than that, I guess. Still, Warcharm is the
single best piece in the game so far. While he
may not retain that title come Baxar's War, I
find it HIGHLY unlikely that he won't still see
considerable amounts of play. This guy basically
made Chessmaster what it is, fer crying out
loud.
4V is relatively cheap, which is good. So the
stats of 6|7 D&L are actually pretty nice,
though I admit, 2 power IS a teensy bit on the
low side. However, Warcharm is NOT a true combat
piece, but rather a backup piece that just teams
up with a couple other decent sized critters and
uses their blades to move everybody around the
board.
And that's what's so great. Dreamblade isn't a
game that's solely about smashing face. It's a
game about smashing face AND getting into
position to smash face or take cells, and while
Scarab Warcharm can't do much face smashing,
he's great at getting people to smash face. In
case you haven't been checking out Rolf's
wonderful little spoiler for some bizarre
reason, Warcharm has MULTIBLADE advance and
single blade skirmish. The only thing better
than that would be if BOTH abilities were
multiblade, but then the universe would collapse
around such a piece of brokenness that it really
wouldn't be fair to us mortals.
Constructed: 5/5 You got him you play him. You
don't got him you GET him THEN you play him.
Limited: 5/5 Thass right, peeps, TWO 5/5s.
That's how good this wiggy blue table thingy is.
