Brent’s Stats

Category: Reblog, SOECCG

BrentYeah, I couldn’t stay away a whole week. I’m so bad at relaxing. But I am getting really good at killing Geth.

I wanted to quickly run down Brent’s stats here, though, because he makes for a pretty good card.

Here’s his text :

  • Forsworn Crusader – Human (2)
  • 2 attack / 2 defense / 2 damage / 2 health
  • Whenever this unit becomes exerted, deal 1 damage to your avatar.

Initially, the rules text is damned offputting. Every time you use this guy for attack or defense you end up hurting yourself. But he’s so cheap! That’s an amazing bunch of stats for such a low-cost card. The tradeoff is obvious, and has an equally obvious solution – put him in a Cleric deck. As a Cleric you’ve got plenty of opportunities to heal the occasional damage or whatever. My advice would be to never play him alone on a quest; put him in as strong support for a big attack, so you can make use of that massive +2 damage. At a quest with “add 1 to damage” as its text, or other similar cards in play, he’d be devastating. Alternatively, you could make use of rune cards when playing him. Those damage-reducing abilities and items are perfect for making full use of this card without paying a big negative.

Anyway, nicely done sir. Your card alter-ego is a most worthwhile addition to the game.

    I feel like it is going to be a little for me using that card.

    What a worthless card. ;) This is possibly the greatest thing ever. I would reply on gax, but Brent is far too famous there already.

    Famous on gax?

    I’m not sure that’s the word I’d use.
