So unless you are living under a rock, you'll know that today in the AMA, the #Splinterlands team revealed the MASSIVELY anticipated first look into...
Dr. Blight!
And from the reaction from all the attendees of the show, it added even more FOMO to the game (as if there wasn't enough already...)
We all go take a look at the stats for the card and I thought I'd go over my initial reaction and game plan for the next few weeks leading up to...The release of Chaos Legion!
First up, the stats:
This is a unique experience for me because for the first time in my brief life on Splinterlands, I actually understand what this card represents.
The biggest takeaways for me are:
He's Neutral!!!
I love these cards. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy picking my splinter of choice and going into battle, but neutral cards are just so versatile. The fact that Doctor Blight is a neutral card adds another weapon for us who are lucky enough to get him in the air drop!
It's MAGIC!!!!
I love this method of attack! I've been able to win quite a few battles simply by using a heavy magic attack and you see a pattern maybe? First Djinn Oshannus is a magic monster and now Dr. Blight. Maybe magic will play an extra special role in Chaos Legion?
Low Mana!!!
Only 4 mana so this card will be able to sneak into those low many battles! He doesn't have huge attack, speed or health but those abilities will help in all battles as well!
Affliction, Slow, Poison, Scavenger and Weaken...Oh My!
When this card is maxed out, watch out! My goodness, it's loaded. And you combine the fact that it's a low many card, with magic attack AND neutral....It's safe to say that Dr. Blight will become a player favorite for years to come.
I'm excited to get this card and will continue my journey in stacking SPS and VOUCHER to give my deck the best possible chance to receive this in the air drop.
But who am I kidding....Even if I don't get the card, I'll be sure to grab a few copies off the market and I can't wait to see what the gold foil version of him will be selling at.
It's an exciting time in the 'Lands!
What are your thought on Dr. Blight?
You excited to play with him?
What possible combinations do you think this card will be used for it's full potential?
Chaos Legion can't come soon enough!!!!
