Hello, I am late sorry work has been really busy. But I am back to review the rare neutral cards. It will be a shorter post as there are only 3 of them for now. Maybe an airdrop will add to this later. I will give away another 500 DEC to someone that gives me some feedback on the post or about the game. The ambassador program is starting that looks cool. Time to get to the cards.

First, we have the Tower Griffin. He is a flying card and has protect so I am not sure why he isn't more popular. He does cost the most but at 17 cents still pretty cheap. I know the 1 ranged damage makes him look weak. I just don't see him as an attacker. He is there to give you team armor and fly so he is harder to kill to take that bonus away. It also gives each team a great card to add to an earthquake game. I like this card in some games and for teams that don't have other cards to get armor. I admit would be a lot better if it got to 2 attack before level 8. Still, it has some use.

Elven Mystic is another car that is a bit weak on attack but has abilities to make it usable. Silence is a great one as mages are very strong. If you happened to max him out and now he also has affliction he can also stop the tank from healing. His speed is okay at high levels. Right now he is really cheap so my guess is most don't like his cost for damage and I admit I don't either. The only reason I would plan to get this card is if you want to max it out. Then I could see it getting used on teams that have a summoner to boost the attack to 3. It is a mage to add to some of the teams that are short of them. So you want to have one at level 4 just in case you need that one more mage.

Goblin Chariot is a better attack card that people seem to think. It is also cheap and it can have 3 attack really early with piercing. The get a good HP number and a solid speed number. In a no mages game, he is a nice card to have in the deck and even at level 3, you can play him. When he is maxed out and gets to 4 damage he is a lot better. I plan to try and level this card. Any time you can get a 5 cost card that hits for 4 and is not going to die fast I like it. It isn't a super-powerful card but will be nice in a high mana fight. As one more big hitter with good life.

None of these cards are here to be a major focal point of a team. They are all add-in cards that make teams better in some formats. That is good for a set of Neutral cards. I think they will go up as more players join. If we can get a lot more and I hope we will.

Great post about some Neutral !monster options. I use all three at various times.

Tower Griffin can be good for Earthquake Little League matches. I like my Level 4 Elven Mystic a lot because of the Silence, as you mention. And I, too, like the Goblin Chariot in certain high mana matches (like the no-magic-allowed rule), and when I get a good enough Summoner to use a Level 5 that Piercing ability will make it even better.

Thanks for the good content again. Hopefully @clove71 will give you a !monster shoutout.

So... I'm always thinking about what card to use in the weekly battle challenge... It's time for another neutral, me thinks... I may just use one of these.
I do agree, people don't seem to use the Tower Griffen as much as I'd think they would. I've been using it a lot (in lower level battles). I dig it.
Thanks for the rundown!

A cool look at the UNTAMED neutral cards, thanks for sharing with #battle

Too bad these cards dont make meta, and looks as though that's due to 1) mana cost, 2) mana cap, and 3) limitation of only using 6 cards. These 3 factors combined look to be the reason almost ALL new cards can't make meta, as there's hardly ever room for experimentation, large mana cap games being the exception. Add on top we now have small cap games, and splinter restrictions (no neutrals rule set).

Thanks again for this !monster content!
