Card Preview: July 12th

By Mike Rosenberg

The Living Totem has many heads, and it’s you who gets to decide which ones are active, and in which order.

This troop offers you some very powerful flexibility early on. If you need a troop to block a blisteringly fast start from your opponent, the Living Totem can do that.

But what happens when you start a new turn with this troop in play? Well, it depends on what you need in whatever matchup you’re facing down.

If you need a troop that can compete against some 2 ATK armies, give it a permanent +1/+1. If you just want to hold down the ground, start off by giving it swiftstrike. Fighting against troops with flight? Send your Living Totem into the skies…then give it swiftstrike, so it can rule the skies with ease!

The versatility of the Living Totem makes it one of your best resource investments. Its activated power offers the right tool for the job, and then brings along the whole toolbox just in case you need a few extra uses for your resources. Y’know…just in case something goes awry, or if you’ve drawing one too many gems.

Wizard of the Silver Talon doesn’t come alone, as he summons his trusty owl to fight alongside him.

The Owl Familiar, thanks to having flight, can peck away at an opposing champion, growing the Wizard until it is big enough to start attacking through even the bulkiest of troops. The Wizard, as a troop that is actually two troops instead of one, will be the perfect card for your Sapphire gem Limited decks, giving you some additional options and a few different angles of attack.

And in your PvE experience, the Wizard of the Silver Talon can either double up on the Owl Familiars it creates, or use those owls to draw cards. If you’re wearing both pieces of gear that this card gives you, then both options will be available to you, giving you a small sky army that draws you cards in case your opponent has a way to shoot your owls down.
