Hired Bodygurd
« on: March 26, 2019, 09:20:06 AM »
A soldier creature with only 1 damage dice realy? I'm disappointed.

If it were at least a Goblin or Snotling, but the Card shows a Human in contrast to what is on the Cards Suptyp its Soldier only.
Instead of an Short Sword he should have a Broken Short Sword.
Like the Broken Wing Angel who can't fly, the Bodyguard can't deal any real damage.

I created an Animal on this forum that would make more sense for a 2 mana cost 1 damage Novice Creature.

Well the creature's name has 'bodyguard' in it. Not 'Killer Elite'. :)

I haven't seen it yet, but perhaps it is meant for guarding rather than attack? So defense, not offense.

I see the criticism for this card, and will not argue the stats are alot to be desired.  at 3 life it may not even get an attack so 1 die is the least of the problems. 

This is just another way to introduce a dodge mechanic without it being a dodge.  Which is not horrible imo.  I do think he may see some play and be important counter to crazy monk pally, ninja forcemaster, or warlord kungfu master.  I think it is too early to tell on his value in the upcoming meta.

originally it was also supposed to be a quick cast creature as well.
