Title: Test your Skills... Jade Gremlin
Post by: Laddinfance on August 05, 2015, 10:09:47 AM: I get to preview one of my favorite creatures today. Check out the Jade Gremlin >>HERE<< (http://www.arcanewonders.com/arcane-wonders/test-your-skills-jade-gremlin-2).

As always feel free to share any comments, I'm happy to hear them!

Also this guy is great with enchantments! If you can buff his health he is really good! An automatic defense for the cost of 1 mana is a really good price to pay once he is a beast. His biggest fear is ranged attacks (and unavoidable but I invite a flame blast against him :D)

I'd be glad to oblige!

But that being said, this little gremlin could be fun.

Now, in arena, that's a different story.

Oh, counterstrike? About that.. Do you happen to be Brogan? No? Well, I got some bad news for you.

Could be fun to hide Falcon Precision on a guard to get rid of this little guy

Why would it? A counterstrike is just like any other melee attack (except it can't be counterstriked to prevent infinite loop).

Gate is already OP. In fact i'd like to see it errated to only gain mana when the enemy mage is within 2 or 3 zones from it.

This guy is good at removing enemy guards, but he makes a bad guard himself because of 'Pest'.

Nice card regardless.

Post by: Sailor Vulcan on August 06, 2015, 07:14:17 AM: What makes you think the gate is overpowered? I rarely ever see it used on OCTGN. I've tried to make a mana denial swarm work before. It was really difficult. Enchanting blue gremlins with mana vampirism ended up costing me too much mana on top of everything else. And my creatures would always be killed really fast.

Although you can get up to 4 mana on it a round with harmonize using the enemy mage's actions rather than your own and lasts longer than temple of asyra...

You can activate his teleport defense when the Jade Gremlin is being counter attacked. Hope this helps your strats :D
