Our second
card of Node week is the Common Gearsmith Character
Hub Node.
With a much increased cost compared to Basic Node at
a cost of 3 with 2 threshold, you get a 2/2/3. 2/2/3
is nothing to write home about and a bit below par
in comparison to other 3 cost 2 threshold
Characters. So what are we going to get in return?
Just as with Basic Node, this card replaces itself
in your hand. "When this card enters play, you may
search your deck for a "node" card, reveal it, and
put it into your hand." Also just like the Basic
Node, "If this card is destroyed, destroy all other
"node" cards."
So what's new? This card benefits from having other
Nodes in play. "This card gains 1 strength and 1
life for each other "node" card in play." Quite
quickly, this Node can jump from a 2/2/3 to a 4/4/3
or more. Now we're getting somewhere! With Gearsmith
tutor ability and the low cost of Nodes along with
the self replacement to hand ability, Hub Node can
get fat quick!
Does the benefit out weigh the drawback? Try a Node
deck and see!
In limited, where Hub Node may be your only Node, it
at least fills a character slot. In a Node
constructed deck, he'll be your heavy hitter.
Limited: 2/5
Constructed: 3.5/5

Hub Node
Today we get to one of the cards that actually lets
the node deck work. This card is the deck's beater.
It can, hypothetically, get up to 14/14/3 stats from
other nodes being on the field alone. It also shares
the ability to search out another node card as well
as the 'destroy all nodes' ability. You can get this
bruiser pretty big pretty fast. And its a speed
level below Basic Node, which means if you attack
with them as a party, the Basic Nodes will take out
blockers and this will go in for the faction.
Sealed: 1.5/5
Constructed: 4/5
