That Guy That
Plays DreamBlade |
BOOGEYMAN
Back to new pieces, we got a pretty special guy
that I think the majority of us have heard of
outside of Dreamblade from stories of some sort.
Well now he's on the dreamscape, but how will he
fight? He's a 9-drop of the Fear lineage, which
as of now does not really have a place holder
aside from what may become the tech slot for
Toxic Sludger. For his cost, he enters as a 3-
5/8. Gasp! That sucks! That Clawkller guy we
reviewed from Baxar's has the same stats for 4
less spawn!. Alright Wizards, we need a good
effect here. We are given two to try and
compensate. Working up, we have a single blade
Expel. A neat thing to have to push out engaged
guys you can't kill to win the turn is a very
nice thing to have. Of course, we could always
use Jack of Blades and Horrid Poltergiest for
that stuff. Now here is the super neat effect
that apparently makes him worth a rare. Gloom is
a come in to play ability. When it triggers,
each creature is moved toward the owner of each
pieces' spawn row. Now how can this be useful
you ask. Based on what the release podcast for
this set told us about this piece, its most
useful utility is being more of a reset button,
in the sense that any turn you can spawn that
you do not have an ideal board set-up, you can
use it to set both players back and usually
empty the center of the dreamscape. Very few
combos aside from this come to mind, but being
able to reset board position may prove to be
viable against match-ups with faster warbands
like swarm or Kitsune Beats. We'll have to wait
for some constructed tourney reports to see if
he pulls in results.
Constructed - 2/5 - Not that solid of a piece,
so as long as you get it out early enough, I see
this being decent, but not as powerful as some
Fear rares.
Sealed - 3/5 - Not too many desireable rares for
Sealed. Expel is pretty good here, and Gloom can
be pretty nice on an outnumbered board.
Artwork - 3/5 - The paintwork on mine is kinda
sloppy, but cool design for the coat.
