Boris Help please!!!!

Hello,

I haven't played for awhile, so i am very rusty. I have noticed a lot of rules and the card descriptions have been changed. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hero: Boris Skullcrusher

Allies: (14)
- Jasmine Rosecult x4
- Priest Of Light x3
- Armored Sandworm x4
- Aeon Stormcaller x3

Abilities: (21)
-Smashing Blow x3
-Enrage x2
-Crippling Blow x4
-Rampage x2
-Shield Bash x2
-Blood Frenzy x4
-Retreat x4

Armors: (4)
-Snow Sapphire x1
-The King's Pride x3

Again any help is welcomed! Thanks!

Hiya, welcome!

Looks pretty good, however you have no two cost drops. Puwen is the obvious choice here.

Also, I'd remove Snow Sapphire, it's more of a mage style armour. I'd also take out 1 x KP, you've still got a good chance to have one in hand by turn 7 with Blood Frenzy.

I'd also drop one Crippling Blow and one Retreat. With Boris' ability and your Jasmines, three of each is more than enough ally control.

So in short:

+4 Puwen
-1 Snow Sapphire
-1 King's Pride
-1 Crippling Blow
-1 Retreat

Good luck!

Thanks a bunch! I have been having trouble getting board control. However, when is it a good idea to play blood frenzy? Before the final rule changes, it was best to play BF first, but now I'm having doubts.

I find it depends largely on the match-up, but with Boris's ability it is usually good to play it as early as possible.

That's right, you lose less tempo with Boris than you do with Amber for example.

So, play it like this most of the time?
1- sacrifice
2-puwen
3- jasmine
4- Blood Frenzy

Looks pretty good. Standard sort of start if going first. As Keaven said, however, it does depend on matchup.
