Worst warlord in the game paired with some completely unusable cards, the exceptions being jubac and crumbling battleground

#

fuck spelling mistake

#

anyway really funny how bad those cards are so I'll give a background to them

#

tank warfare was part of a choice event way back during the calth release

#

obviously it was a case of one of those rigged events because the card is so obviously anus

#

the alternative however was a good example of how this can be a good thing

#

since it was death cloud v2

#

5e poison all non vehicle troops

#

that paired with silent death meant that the neutral pool had a boardwipe on 8e that everyone could use

#

bullet dodged

#

has anyone ever managed to make this card see play?

#

no

#

even mechanicum decks who have the cheapest shit vehicles use heretknica

#

other factions just use their buffs or don't bother at all because they don't have enough vehicles or they are big enough already

#

moving on

#

imperial capital was more recent, part of the IF release

#

it was a dead on arrival card with a 2e alternative doing the exact same thing but reducing by 1

#

it was comparable to supply lines except there was nothing good to use it on

#

now those cards have all been nerfed, it may possibly be playable to some decks

#

but structures are not universal, and generally cheap

#

not the ideal ramp use

#

truimph of chaos

#

remember heretknica?

#

this is like that if it was a bad card

#

even before ingethel buffs

#

even before mark of chaos buffs

#

this was not a good card

#

it's a 5e version of a card that world eaters and sons of horus have for 2

#

and they don't bother to use them

#

probably the worst buff in existence

#

orbital bombardment

#

now don't get me wrong

#

this was a decent card

#

but that time has long passed

#

with the addition of extra sets and expanded cardpools

#

games are over before people are out of things to play

#

especially at a high level

#

it can be good to see this card as a super mortar strike

#

back when magnus was quite good and canis was still around

#

orbital was used as a last resort finisher

#

because 15 minute games were much more common

#

especially with people taking forge complex to stay afloat on resources

#

things were just much less consistent in general

#

it worked back then

#

now it is probably contender for worst aoe lol

#

saul nibboran

#

this one explains itself

#

pay 1e to have a curve

#

it works for horus because he goes first and has some dangerous cards

#

saul does not

#

saul was op on release as people would remember

#

because he also reduced by 2

#

turn 2 5e card every time

#

but now without that tempo advantage

#

you just lose it to topdeck better

#

awful warlord

opal burrow
#

Lasrifle and Jubac are still pretty good though

low stratus
#

finally, civilian survivors

leaden basin
#

For Darr

low stratus
#

civilians were another release from the calth set, people were at least interested in the card because merret otk and such was making a resurgence at the time with kelbor hal

#

but as it came out there were much bigger fish to fry and there was no reason to spend 2e playing escape vents

#

if you needed emergency stealth

#

accomodate the card that gives it to you in a pinch

#

the 2e cost makes it difficult to continue playing on curve

#

even if arguably you could stealth a really big mean unit over and over

#

trying to do that in practice requires full control over the table

#

and as most people found, it is better just to spend the e playing another big mean unit

#

or a stealth unit in general

#

erhlen gets a special mention for being unplayable after his extra card nerf

#

was once a low terra monster

#

but changes to darr and the pace of the game in general saw him become inefficient and slow

#

now to even cover the gap in hp with warlords much bigger than him he needs to use his ability at least twice

#

you can simply play an aggressive warlord with more hp who doesn't have to pay for it

#

the other 3 cards are perfectly fine

#

jubac proves that sometimes your opponent is a better deckbuilder than you and you can benefit from their common sense

teal moon
#

are u high

low stratus
#

lasrifles are a great value 3 drop that applies the 1 stat they'd normally get immediately at your discretion

#

and crumbling as mentioned is a consistent tool for warlords that utilize damage triggers

#

like darr

#

or mawdrym

low stratus
teal moon
#

hehe

fresh jewel
#

Is Saul not worth it anymore after the NERF?

low stratus
#

no he is quite terrible

#

the only thing he is good at is contender for worst warlord in the game

flint cargo

Don't forget about lass rifle section
