Scarlet Witch
– Eldritch Enchantress
No week would be complete unless we included a
look at the newest card for the Brotherhood
affiliation. Therefore, today we are going to
review the latest Scarlet Witch to join the team
– Scarlet Witch – Eldritch Enchantress.
Scarlet Witch has always been a great support
character for the Brotherhood affiliation, and
this newest 2-drop addition is no different. As
a 2-drop character, her 2/2 stats are somewhat
par for the course. She has no loyalty or
limitations, so if she is one of the few 2-drop
characters you pull in a limited setting at
least you are not out by much. Her affect
states, “When Scarlet Witch comes into play, you
may have target opponent lose 1 endurance for
each other Brotherhood character you control. If
you do, return Scarlet Witch to her owner's
hand.” This makes Scarlet Witch extremely handy
for any Brotherhood deck version in play right
now. Although I prefer the 5-drop Scarlet Witch
for my Brotherhood arsenal (since it can be
potentially devastating for your opponent), I
think that this character can certainly stand on
her own. I can definitely see this card being
played in a TNB build or Big Brotherhood build
as it helps round out the curve of a previously
lacking 2-drop area. When you consider the fact
that this character was one of the first of the
newly expanded characters to see top tier play,
it says a lot about the potential of this card.
Ratings:
Modern Age – 0.0/5.0 …With no Brotherhood
affiliation in this format, there is no need to
even consider this card for this format.
Golden Age – 3.0/5.0 …This character can burn or
boost which are pretty good qualities in this
format.
Limited – 2.0/5.0 ….You may not use her ability
in this format, but then again at least you have
something that can help protect your endurance.

Scarlet Witch
– EE – Another team affiliated character mixed
into things with the release of MMK. Scarlet
Witch keeps her Brotherhood affiliation and now
offers you a choice to use her as one of your 2
drop spots.
With range and 2/2 nothing too powerful here but
her real power comes within her bounce/burn like
ability that could be used every turn. You can
recruit Scarlet Witch then cause 1 endurance
loss per every other Brotherhood character you
control then return her to your hand.
Constructed: 2.5/5 – Another option for a burn
type deck. Although I don’t see her making the
cut into many BBH or NBH decks she could really
be used in junction with her 5 drop counterpart.
Limited: 1/5 – Not nearly enough Brotherhood
characters to justify drafting her over other
characters that you really need with Team
Affiliation.

Scarlet
Witch, Eldritch Enchantress
Our last card this week has already been popping
up in New Brotherhood decks, but will probably
disappear during Marvel Modern Age. TNB is all
about the small character, and Scarlet Witch
fits the bill, 2/2 for 2.
Most people will save her for later turns when
they can recruit her a couple times and burn the
opponent for 6-10 points of damage, although
she'll still be decent with a couple of copies
of The New Brotherhood in play. Lost City decks
like her too, as she can power up your 5 drop
Scarlet Witch. She won't make much of a dent in
Modern Age, although if Marvel Knights ever pops
up in a swarm deck with Midnight Sons, she could
be making an appearance. Her major impact will
be in Golden Age though, as we're seeing right
now.
In Limited, she's not so good. Only one other
Brotherhood card in Modern, and it's in Web of
Spider man, so her only chance of getting out is
with Midnight Sons, and even that will be slim.
Still, surprise burn damage is always nice,
especially if you have a couple of spare
resource points just lying around.
Contructed (Modern) - 2/5
Constructed (Golden) - 4/5
Limited - 1.5/5
