Spellfire Card of the Week

The Starving Artist is considered by most to be the most powerful "avenging ally" in the game. When you play such allies, most often your intention is to lose the battle. Imagine the look on your opponent's face when he has to get rid of most of his hand! Other allies of an avenging nature include Assassins (252/1st), Aurak Draconians (50/DL), Ninjas (70/FR), and others. These allies are most effective when you can use them more than once a game. The Staff of Conjuring (165/4th) is useful to raise these allies from the discard pile. Also, Dr. Mordenheim (97/RL) is often overlooked because of his low level , but that in fact makes him perfect to use avenging allies. Coupled with his power to take an ally back from the discard pile, he can be a very effective champion. So have fun losing!
