The last creature is imo the ManBearPIg, nature creature
I had to zap my own Hydra to get damage on it, then push it forward to keep all of my opponent's zombies off me.
I tried it the gate to hell is so worthless great concept but a bad card
Agreed Barrie, just too expensive (both mana and points wise) for basically a +1 to demons (which the helmet does that for me and cheaper). I really don't see myself using that AOE (why not just use a real fire spell like ring of fire that I can target with?). I just can't justfy the cost for my Warlockess.
First, Gate to Hell is not too expensive.
Mana wise, point wise and effect wise, it is the equivalent of a Garrison Post (pre-errata) + Rajan's Fury (better than it in fact since +1 melee > +1 piercing) + 2 Flameblast.
So if you hit more than 2 creatures with it it get even cheaper.
The only thing this card need is an errata like Garrison to allow spawnpoints to summon onto it.
Ok I've no idea what mage you're using but here are a few ideas.
-Get on that Necromancer immediately. The Force Master, Arraxian Warlock, and Anvil Throne Warlord are all superb melee fighters and can get the hurt on him quick. The Beast Masters likewise can as well.
-Use Mongoose Agility to just ignore his guards and brutes in general. Guards mean nothing to Elusive. Likewise if you're using a Beast Master bring out Cervere.
-Use Tangle Vines to tie up the big dog zombies for a while. If you're a Druid then those Vine Tokens can also slow them down thus negating the Fast benefit(mostly) from Zombie Frenzy.
-Get a Wand of Healing to remove Taint and a lot of armor. Zombies with the exception of the one that grows don't hit for that much. Get a Veterans Belt too.
-Use the Suppression Orb and Modoks Obelisk if you got the spell points and aren't using a creature heavy book. It's amazing what this does to ones Mana.
-Walls can control the flow of zombies very effectively. Especially walls with a good bit of health and some armor like Wall of Stone and Wall of Steel. Wall of Fire can actually kill Zombie Crawlers in one hit if you get lucky. Caltrips an Hellfire Traps also can damage them. Remember Burn tokens are your friend with zombies.
-Chains of Agony and Agony work on Zombies. In fact Chains of Agony works VERY well on the slow little buggers.
-If you're a Warlock put the Demonhide armor on. The damage barrier is only one die but it is Critical.
