Epic Armor
week nears its end
Wall
of the Dead
2
cost, 0 DEF
Armor- Shield, Off-Hand (1)
Paladin, Shaman, Warrior
Remove an ally card in your graveyard from the
game >> Put a bone counter on Wall of the Dead.
Wall
of the Dead has +1 DEF for each bone counter on
it.
Ah, wall of
the dead... such a cool shield in the online
game... does it stand up here?? Lets find out.
For starters, its cheat. 2 cost. But for that
2 cost, what do you really get? A lump of metal
that sits there with 0 DEF. In order to make
this shield useful, you have to have allies in
your graveyard, not typically where you want
them.
If you want
to use this shield, its best to use small allies
and let them die. Don't go out of your way to
keep stuff alive unless its essential to some
combo. This does not mean let everything die!
When there are 4 or 5 allies in your graveyard,
don't go too much further than that! If you
even have 3 counters on this sheild, you've
gotten one heck of a value for 2 resources
spent.
One other
thing to keep in mind is that shields, like all
other armor, can only stop damage from one
source per turn unless you have a way to ready
it.
Sealed: 3/5
You may find yourself with more allies in your
graveyard than you really want in this format.
Constructed:
1/5 You can find better stuff in constructed.
Casual: 3/5 I can't wait to try and make a
casual deck around this... I discard everything
turn 2 and have a +7 shield?? Sounds fun, but
useless... :D
Raid: 4/5
Here is where this shield can be useful. Raid
bosses have this nasty tendancy to blow up a ton
of allies. Dead allies means this shield can be
quite useful for tanks. :)
