Card Text: Minion Fodder
- Each time one of your Shadow Champions would be
banished, you may banish one of your other creatures
instead.
Minion Fodder is a nice power for keeping your high
cost Shadow Champions in the battle zone.
This power has a lot of synergy with Void Wing's
Slayer. Void Wing can comfortably attack any
creature and as long as you have Kronkos and another
creature in the battle zone you can keep Void Wing
from being banished. Minion Fodder would also
keep Void Wing and Kronkos safe from Terror Pits and
creature attacks during your opponent's turn.
Currently Shadow Champions don't have much support.
The Shadow Champion Race works well with other
Shadow Champions, but there a so few of them to
build around. Maybe with Shattered Alliances a solid
Shadow Champion deck could be constructed. For
me one of the issues with putting together a Shadow
Champion deck is that most of the creatures are high
cost 5+ mana. We do have a level 3 evolution
creature Impalicus that evolves on Shadow Champions.
He is decent, but you are going to need to have a
Shapeshifter or put it on a level 5+ Shadow
Champion. It just does not feel right to me to
lower a creatures level especially to put it below 4
mana where it can easily be dealt with spells and
abilities.
In summary this card will be better as more Shadow
Champions are released. Currently I feel this
card is pretty unplayable unless you completely
build around Kronkos and even then I have my doubts.
We need more Shadow Champions and some low cost ones
would be nice too. Time will tell if this will
happen.
