The Frost Alchemist

 

Russell Tringham, Son of Nash Tringham

4 Cost--Elric Faction

Human

2 Strength--3 Wits--4 Alchemy

"Russell Tringham gets + 1 to each attribute for each of your other cards with 'Tringham' in its Title."


The Rundown: Average stats for a 4 cost ally. What really counts here is
Russell's ability to become stronger than your average cost 4 ally. All you
need to do is put Nash Tringham and Fletcher Tringham into play. If you're
playing an Elric faction deck, then it's probably a good idea to run Nash
Tringham, Reclusive Researcher and Fletcher Tringham, Petulant Child or
Fletcher Tringham, Young Alchemist anyway, so why not run Russell while
you're at it? With those 2 in play, Russell is now a 4/5/6--which is on par
stat wise with a cost 8 ally.

The Downside: In order to get the full effect from Russell, you HAVE to have
Nash and Fletcher in play. In addition, if Nash or Fletcher gets defeated,
you start feeling the effects immediately. It's never a good idea to put too
much stock into a card that relies on other cards in order to be useful.

Final Word: Even without having Fletcher or Nash in play, Russell is still a
pretty good ally in his own right. The only Russell I might consider running
instead is Russell Tringham, Idealist. However, he's a mid to late game
ally, so I would recommend Son of Nash Tringham at least until then.

I give Russell Tringham, Son of Nash Tringham a 3.5 out of 5.

McShake Alchemist

 

Russel Tringham - Son of Nash Tringham

4 Cost Ally

S=2

W=3

A=4



This Character Gets +1 To Each attribute for each other character you have in play with "Tringham" in its name.



This is one of the best starters for Marcoh 7 right now, this with Fletcher Tringham - Young Alchemist is already a possible 7 alchemy on turn one!! (Russel gets bigger because Fletcher has Tringham in his name and then Fletcher can set to give Russel +2 Alchemy so 4+1+2=7)



4/5

 

Raven DarK

Russel Tringham, Son of Nash Tringham
4 Cost

4

Russel gets +1 to each attribute for each of your other cards with Tringham in it's name.

Today's card is Russel. This card has more playability today than it did on release. The new "father Tringham" has that sub text and is an actual playable card with a experiance bonus augment. That combined with Fletcher would give this 4 cost ally + 2 to all making his a force to reckonded with.
With such a low cost you could technically drop him and Fletcher in the same turn and over run your opponents.

Overall 4/5
