The Pelacor Family - Investment and Analysis
TL; DR – Pelacor cards aren’t worthy of investment.
If you want to know the specifics, continue reading.
Pelacor Deceiver (“PD”) – Investment rating 2 out of 5 stars- The cheapest card of the Pelacor family, as of this post. Possibly also the most underrated. At first glance, it’s an ok tank for the price (lvl1 1A/8H/3S) with Flying. But since death already has two great tanks (Haunted Spirit and Bone Golem), this isn’t a ‘must have’ from the new set like Venari Wavesmith and isn’t catching a bid from the Free to Play players. Nevertheless, PD is far stronger than Animated Corpse and compared to the likes of Chain Spinner or Harvester, PD is on a whole different level. In silver/gold, this card is great on earthquake rounds. On the risk side, tons of these cards will be earned from chests while the drop rate for reward cards is 50%. As a gold foil card, it starts at level 3, which isn’t anywhere close to the level 6 ‘sweet spot’ when PD gets Backfire. Altogether, this card should be able to hold its value as a playable card once the market for Chaos Legion cards stabilizes. I give this card 2 out of 5 stars for investment. My current recommendation is to hold (1) of this card for the niche situations its useful and wait for some time near the release of the next set to take another look at an investment.
Pelacor Conjurer (“PC”) - Investment rating 1 out of 5 stars. PC has no attack (lvl1 2-Cost 0A/5H/4S). This makes it a niche card at best. Gaining magic reflect at LvL 4 and divine shield at LvL 6, doesn’t do much but increase its tankiness. This card may have some uses vs thorns when confronting Mylor Crowling, since it doesn’t attack. However, outside bronze league, can you risk playing a 0 damage first slot? Please correct me if I’m missing something, but I don’t see how the risk of playing this card is worth the risk of your opponent playing literally any other non-thorns strategy. This card competes with Gentle Giant and Gelatinous Cube as a damage sponge and is certainly cheaper at 2-cost. However, those two cards are neutral cards and PC is a life-deck only card. I give this card 1 out of 5 stars for investment.
Pelacor Bandit (“PB”) – Investment rating 1 out of 5 stars. Another Water flyer. It’s got sneak and some speed for a melee (lvl1 3-cost 1mA/2H/3S), that is something… but not enough to make it anything more than 3-cost filler. Since bronze/silver tiers are all about magic damage buffed by Alric Strormbringer, and sneak is easily (and usually) countered by placing a high HP/Regeneration card in the last slot, there isn’t much hope for PB at the moment. I give this card 1 out of 5 stars for investment as of 9/20/2021.
Pelacor Mercenary (“PM”) – Investment rating 2 out of 5 stars. Last but not least, Pelacor Mercenary (LvL1 7-Cost 3mA/9H1A/2S). The current leader of the Pelacor pack. This card fits in perfectly with the ‘big’ life meta. Flying and some serious survivability make this card an affordable addition to a Mylor Crowling deck. Heal + Flying at LvL 6 make this a pretty tough to kill tank in the middle-tiers.
