The Wretched: Shifting
Loyalty
by Hannes
Here's a 5th Edition card that, if used with the
right combo, can be very powerful. The Wretched reads: "At end of combat gain
control of all creatures blocking The Wretched as long as you control The
Wretched", so what did I do with this card? Enchant it with a Lure and
Regeneration, and your opponent's creatures will be powerless to resist the
temptation of joining your army. I know this card is very hard to find, I even
traded away my Force of Nature (fortunately it wasn't Beta) to get it, but no
regrets, there is nothing more fun than killing an opponent with his own pumped
up 12/12 sengir vampire.
But this is why I prefer the old editions
(everything up to US) because you had to search for strategies and combos, but
now the cards are much more stand alone, I mean look at the winds, where's the
hard-thought strategy in destroying all your opponents creatures and the you can
simply attack and kill everyone in one turn. But hey, this is just personal
preference, I prefer replacing Thicket Basilisk with The Wretched in the above
combo for my own little Plague Wind, hehehe.
