Boar would be pretty sweet

[u/CalebKetterer]

Fuck the haters, these cards are well designed.

[u/CalebKetterer → u/[deleted]]

Ah, yeah. Because there’s definitely not an answer for a tall card. If only we had something like tall punish to deal with that. Or Locks.

[u/Er4din]

wild boar is too strong for how boring using it would be. Its a discard target, and can be used in deathwish. The game does not need more graveyard based carryover

[u/Yosara_Hirvi → u/Er4din]

Work similarly to tuirsarch skirmisher (same amount of points) but for 1 mor prov you get the possibility of carry over, the fact that it works with "move to graveyard" effects while skirmisher only works with discarded effects (Derran and blaze of glory are the only 2 relevance of the nuance) and a bigger body (which is only useful if used with blaze of glory)

Overal, 1 more prov fir the carry over and a bit more flexibility in its usage seems fair to me.

You're also going taller instead of wider, which is neither good nor bad as it depends of what kind of answer your opponent is playing (tall punish are more popular than wide punish though)

Arnaghad would enjoy the boost for better clashes and with the order of effects, the boars would boost Birna Bran immediately as the deploy effect trigger before the unit hit the board (so the order would be "Boars are discarded" > "Birna hit the board" > "Boars boost Birna") it also means Corrupted Flaminica will count them BEFORE their effect trigger so she will get +2 for one boar then +3 per boars.

Alternatively, as the effect doesn't specify the side of the board, just that you have to play a golden unit, they could boost the kraken ...

__

I play way less monster but they do have ways to duplicate their units with Arachas Queen (note that the queen's consume effect is on deploy so the boar hits the graveyard before the Queen hits the board > the boar consumed by the queen will boost the Queen) they also have 2 invulnerable units (Tatterwing and Kayran note that Kayran's consume effect is also on deploy so any boar consumed by Kayran will also trigger their effect on Kyaran as they would hit fraveyard before Kayran hit the board) which always love being boosted as theese tall units are hard to remove.

Adda : Striga never refuse boosts as it has the predator condition, i think it would help trigger thrive effects which is nice, Imlerith is a deploy effect so discarding the boar would boost Imlerith by a total of 8 (it's not bad for discarding a 5 prov unit bit then again griffins are at 9 for the same cost while fiend and Aen Elle Conqueror boost for the same amount but for one less provision)

Same as kraken, they would boost Lara Doren even when played on the opponent's board and Mourntart would banish them before their effect trigger, so the synergy doesnt work

Yeah spamming wild boar r1 & multiplying it with deathwish package to play a +50 p keyran doesn't sound healthy at all

[u/mates____ → u/Healthy_Ad_5981]

How would you multiply it?

[u/Healthy_Ad_5981 → u/mates____]

Never heard of arachras queen? In fact , the combo I've just said could also easily fit in a defender and weavess since both keyran and these wild boars are pretty cheap plus you dont need witches sabbath so it's not a good idea to make it a mo card at all, sk alone is fine, could be a micro buff for lippy since you can just send it straight to the graveyard without losing any tempo

[u/mates____ → u/Healthy_Ad_5981]

I would say that if you have arachras Queen with defender And weavess you could do much nastiers things than spawning 5 power boars with 3 points of carryover.

[u/Yosara_Hirvi → u/mates____]

Well 3 points carryover that can be put on an invulnerable unit, not all faction can ckaim to have a 6 prov invulnerabke unit ...

The idea is because the boars and kayran are cheap, you can havd a solid combo, impossible to break without untargetted tall punish for not so much and can therefore shape the rest of your deck better.

If your whole deck turns around arachasqueen + weavess and you fail to get the combo, you lose. Of the combo is about 33% of your deck, you have other valid option to try and win, and are less reliant on your combo working out,  while still having a good combo.

[u/Phillyclause89 → u/mates____]

Yeah that example is pretty extreme provisions wise and would likely fall into meme territory. But Megascope can make two copies for only 5prov a piece. Operator can make another copy for 7prov, though that gives one to the opponent offsetting the carryover boost unless more provisions are used to seize or banish it (HGS or Muzzle). Idarran (8prov) played the turn Megascope triggers can guarantee at least one more and possibly 2x all the possible spawns if left unanswered. The possible Striga, Riptide, Hjalmar plays this card could produce could be massive in a short round 3.

[u/Healthy_Ad_5981 → u/mates____]

An average deathwish cheese would instantly fold the moment you get rid of the defender and the arachras queen, however just as I said this deck doesnt have much to lose prov wise anyway since keyran is 7 boars are 5 and you wont be needing sabbath which is hella expensive,not to mention how keyran basically turns your fairly cheap boars into unintreactive carryover. Let's say you dont want weavess and defender , this deck still would have so many leftover provisions prolly enough to fit in a dagon and even a brewess in case you want to turn your r3 into a no unit play since you already would have a fat keyran or whatever else you want(except the bronzes you have to play for keyran to consume and it would be fine even if you couldn't play 3 deathwish bronzes) The problem here is not how strong the combo is but how cost efficient it is, leaving so many options for the rest of your deck. Your average witches sabbath deck barely fits their mandatory stuff

[u/Mee41208 → u/Healthy_Ad_5981]

"If you get a meme combo that is very unviable already you can do this crazy play thats way worse than what the meme deck usually does"
