Turn of the Tide: Review 1 - Danian Creatures

The first review section for Turn of the Tide. We will be looking at the danians in detail, in their creatures, battlegear, mugic, and possibly attacks and locations. 
I won't do Topar, because he's had enough attention over him recently :P

No since I don't want to blatantly copy off of the rating system of other blogs, I'll be using a different one.

So with off-the-charts courage and excellent speed and wisdom (not usual for a danian) I'm not sure where Elhadd does better, the discard pile or the battle board. Now any and all danian armies I've made have used courage as a huge asset, so it shouldn't be too hard to implement his Outperform Courage 5, if your opponent gets a chance to put him in the discard pile, that is!

Stamina: (how will he hold up in a battle) 7/10

Support: (how he will help other creatures) 8/10

Practicality: (he might look nice, but would you put him in your deck?) 7/10

Now for Hiadrom. Now we knew about him before the release yesterday, and he is, in my opinion, a great addition to the danian ranks. Not a minion (which is just something I hate to have in my army) adds to your mandiblor count, he has earth and water plus a fairly high courage stat. Best of all, his hive ability kicks tail, and the cherry on top, he has a mugician. 

Stamina: 7/10, due to his hive ability

Support:  3/10 since he is a manciblor

Practicality: 6/10 

Here's Ivelaan, another Compost danian. Gotta love the Compost. As you can plainly see, danians seem to have gotten a speed boost here, as well as keeping up their courage streak. He has the water element, which long ago stopped being unusual for the bugs. Two mugic counters is a nice surprise, so hopefully you can use 'em before he gets thrown into the discard pile, giving all of your mandiblors 25 to each discipline! Remember, this includes creatures like Irrabeq, and since most danian decks run a lot of mandiblors, think of it like a dozen compositions of concetration thrown onto your army! Nice. Note the high energy too.

Stamina: 7/10

Support: 8/10

Practicality: 7/10

This here is Makanaz, someone who looks suspiciously like Odu-Bathax's brother...Or cousin... Or maybe Odu-bathax's exoskeleton's colour ran in the wash, who knows? With a courage and speed of 75, plus a whooping power of 90, this mandiblor warrior is a force to be reckoned with. Boasting 65 energy, fire and earth, plus a mean compost effect, he's formidable even without mugic counters. Call me old-fashioned, but have they raised the bar for what gets to be a common? Let's compare Lhad, an old danian common, with this guy. See a difference? Hehe, anyway.

Stamina: 9/10

Support: 8/10 (15 energy for all of my mandiblors? Ah-yes, please!)
Practicality: 7/10

Now for Neekwin, another runner-up in the Odu-Bathax look-alike contest. Sadly, it's not another compost card, but I think we've  had our fill of those anyway. With this guys ability, you won't miss it! So first off, he has pretty high energy again, your standard courage, unusually high wisdom for danians, two elements and a mugician. Because he is an elementalist, he can easily get more elements with the Elementalist Pauldrons. Here's the clincher though: You may not want to have him equipped, since otherwise he is immune from mugic or abilities and his water attacks get pumped up. Give him a nexus fuse or Aqua Shield, better yet, Hive Amber, and he's a force to be reckoned with. 

Stamina: 7/10

Support: 3/10

Practicality: 6/10

Now for the Danian Super Rare. No elements, though, again, he has the potential to gain most of them with Elementalist Pauldrons. Yet another Mandiblor Elementalist, this time a minion too. 

I'm not so sure about his Brainwash effect, since it's easier to use a move like mirthquake or terraport for that, and it doesn't cost a whole creature! But his main ability is a gem! Such mastery of elements, he can cut down the elemental attacks of others down to size. Not to mention he can do this at a minimum amount of two times, and he doesn't have to be on the receiving end, either, he can do it outside of battle. If I were running an infection deck, I would get a strain of infection for this guy, and watch him bat away plasmarrows and ice disks. Still,  this all sounds great but I'm not sure I would use him a lot. His energy and disciplines are pretty low all in all. 

Stamina: 5/10

Support: 8/10

Practicality: 6/10

And that concludes our review for today! Next time, expect to see some mugic and attacks!
