The Forest Guard Entity Has Been Reworked

By Temiloluwa Babayemi October 10, 2024Uncategorized Comments (0)

The Forest Guard subset is ridiculous. It’s one of the groups in this digital TCG that’s seen the most changes. 

 

In the first draft of the game they were too weak, worst deck in the game. Then they got a buff that made them too strong, best deck in the game. Then they got another nerf, worst deck and so on and so forth.

 

One of the changes that got them to what I think is the most balanced state they’ve ever been in, is a change that was made to The Forest Guard Entity. 

 

I don’t even remember what he originally did, but at some point his effect was changed so that he allowed you to swipe any rune, or magic card, that was used in a given turn, and use it for yourself. 

 

This effect is one of my favorites because of the control element it offers just by being an option on the field, but initially there was literally no cost to use it which meant your opponent always had to be afraid of it. That didn’t sync up with the rest of the deck which all had to spend a currency called Forest Counters to use their effects, so despite how much I like him I pulled him back in line with the others.
