Announcing Shadow Era: Lost Lands

[Pat Jay]

Awesome!

Does the T2 on the location card represent that it only lasts for 2 turns?

Are locations 0CC?

[Truesight Hunter]

I believe it can only be played on turn 2 or later and is free to play.

Well the idea is that you'll probably never play this guy at full cost. You'll play him with a board full of other aldmor allies and significantly reduce his cost. Unless you're a jammy bastard and pull him with Nathanias :P

So yeah, I think Darkrath's days might be numbered in Gravebone decks...

I would be surprised if this did anything to Dakrath's position, especially in Gravebone decks. Alongside Dakrath, maybe... Instead of Dakrath? I don't think so.

The only deck I can see this card played (outside Gravebone) is a Portal build and that's because a 6-7cc hasted 9/9 at the opposing hero can end games. In non-hasted decks you'd need something like a location that makes every ally and Aldmor ally and even then the Ancient doesn't count your opponent's allies. Even if you got it to like a 5 mana 9/9 (which is a christmas land in itself), that's not particularly great.

Lance just want to say TYVM for new 9/9 friend

Net Trap!

No, you previewed an ally with 7cc summoning cost, and 9/9 stats. He is still the ally with highest base attack yet.

He only has 9 attack when an opposing hero has 9 SE though, otherwise his attack is going to be in the 0-3 range most of the time.

EDIT: No I guess its-X attack which will make the card a lot more viable/interesting.

[Ekoz]

this looks exciting!

i'm going to be a bit greedy here and nudge the link in my signature though. i designed a card set like this a long time ago, lol! here's hoping maybe some ideas made it through!

Yes, starts at 9, then goes down by the highest number of SE of any opponent.

Yeah you're probably right about him not replacing Dakrath. I was just being a bit melodramatic, what with all the this excitement. :P
While I agree his usage might be limited, the fact that he's neutral is pretty cool, so we could still see him in a variety of decks (most likely when you least expect him to ruin your day).

Of course we shouldn't really be judging yet considering we've only seen two cards of the set. There could be some crazy Aldmor synergies we've yet to see!

I would love to be pleasantly surprised. The archetypes I like playing aren't really liked, though, so I doubt it.
