Reaxetion on You came to the wrong pond, time to boucne

11 months ago

Thanks Bookrook! Long River Lurker was one of the last cuts I made during brewing. It might be worth keeping in the sideboard for the ward ability though.. And to push through damage... I might just need to test with more of him...

Virtue of Knowledge I hadn't considered. It would take the same space as Proft's Eidetic Memory and Gossip's Talent - Definitely more testing to do.

Thanks for the read!

Gossip's Talent previous analysis. Show

Gossip's Talent - I debated putting this in the bounce section, as it offers a lot of utility before it ever starts bouncing. But the level 3 of this Class is just too good to not include here. We don't want to bounce our larger creatures most of the time - as we don't want to reset their counters, but our smaller guys will now be able to get through thanks to level 2. Not to mention, it is incredibly easy to control our Frog's power to keep the preferred creature unblockable and bouncing as much as we need. level 1 is the least impactful on the surface, but getting to hit all 3 essential parts of the deck while setting up (Bounce targets, bounce effects, and bounce payoffs) is extremely important to a smooth game - and surveil 1 on all our creatures helps us achieve that consistency. I at first thought this card was not good enough, but after trying it out, I was wrong.

Ok, here's the deck with Gossip's Talent being flagged. Dynaheir/Zirda Tokens

Gossip's Talent is noted as an illegal card for Zirda, the Dawnwaker as a companion. As far as I know the Level up abilities of the Class enchantments are activated abilities for Zirda.
