Circle of Life
Cost 8
Druid
Ability – Restoration
Ongoing: When an ally is
destroyed, its controller may search his deck for an
ally card with the same name and put it into play
exhausted.
Ok now this card is a lot of fun but
wow how I wish it could be used by other classes
because I think it’s a rough card to play in a druid
deck.
Let’s look at the card as a whole.
It’s a solid card but you’re playing for the late
game and I’m not going to advise anyone to be
stacking 4 of this in their deck because you know
you’re going to be playing that game 3 in a round
and you’re going to draw all 4 off a mulligan and
it’s really going to suck. Basically every time a
guy dies you get to go take another one and put it
into play. What’s cool about this is guys like
Parvink who draw you cards and other allies who do
damage or provide another helpful aspect. The down
side to this card is your opponent can use it as
well but if you’re smart you can use this to your
advantage. In fact if your really smart this could
be a very abusive strategy you will see a couple
sets down the road when people have forgotten about
this card.
This is a deck card; you build a deck
around it and its very do able and can be a lot of
fun. The things this deck is very susceptible to are
ability removal and a good solid rush. Now right now
these are two things most decks are playing but with
time the format will open up and circle of life
decks could be an option.
Sealed (1): planning on having
multiples of an ally is not a good idea and paying 8
for something that might work is a gamble at best.
Constructed (3): I’m unable to see a
circle deck winning a tournament but I can in the
future.
Casual (5): Circle of life is awesome
in casual play; I’m probably going to have a circle
deck in my deck box from now on actually.
Raid (3): I can see someone playing
this in raid just because Onyxia has no way to take
advantage of it and all your team mates could use it
to their advantage. It will be destroyed though, the
second Onyxia sees it being used its as good as gone
and so is your 8 resource you used for it.
