Card Previews: September 20th

By Mike Rosenberg

Hey buddy, need a ride?





The Phoenix Guard Trainer already has some reasonable stats for its cost, but it is the inspire effect that makes this troop something to behold. Every three cost or higher troop you play after this one will be given the powerful effect of flight, allowing your bigger and badder troops to soar into the skies, making their attacks much harder to stop.

Attacks from troops such as this one.

Giving this human flight can lead to a quick victory, and that’s no surprise. The Daring Swordsman is the best target for any sort of stat enhancement effects, such as the one provided by the Phoenix Guard Trainer’s activated ability should your champion be equipped with the Boots of the Flaming Feather. Of course, humans are very good at boosting up one powerful troop, and the Daring Swordsman is one of the finest recipients of your pumps and other assorted tricks. Give the Swordsman a few stat bonuses and watch as it tears through every troop – or champion – that stands in its way.
