With the recent release of the latest expansion to the WoW
TCG, Blood of Gladiators, I decided the time is right for another informal poll
to see what everyone’s favorite card from the new set is. While some chose their favorite based purely on
power level, others also factored in humor factor in making their decision (Hardy,
har, har… anyone?). So without further
ado, here are UDE’s Blood of Gladiators favorites:
Andrew ‘The Wolf” Wolf
Merciless Gladiator’s Crossbow of the Phoenix – I know, what a surprise. Another Hunter card. What can I say, I like my pets.
Ben “Big Ben” Cichoski
Vol’jin – If you’ve been paying attention, he spoiled
Vol’jin’s Blood of Gladiators appearance in a blog a while ago. Attack for one
million!
Ben “TBS” Seck
Echo Totem – TBS loves to find those narrow cards with such
big potential upsides. Now he just needs
a good win condition…
Ken “Kentho” Ho
Foam Sword Rack – But, this card doesn’t do anything, you
say. Ken begs to differ. Inspiring Presence, anyone? Plus, it’s shiny, looty goodness.
Drew “D-Time” Walker
Kazamon Steelskin – Hardiness lord, obv! It took us months to get Drew to build a
non-Orc deck once Kazamon was in the rotation.
Plus, he’s always good for a laugh.
Dave “The Hump” Humpherys
Tempest of Chaos – Nothing like the build-up towards
inevitably. You’d think someone as
methodical as The Hump would shy away from random effects, but you’d be wrong.
Paul “Mailman” Ross
Utopia – Especially when combined with Bloodsea Brigand’s
Vest. There’s no such thing as too many
resources where Paul’s concerned. How
else are you gonna get Illidan into play ASAP?
Jeff Liu
Mogor and Mogor's Anointing Club – I know, everyone is just
supposed to pick one, but as a pair, the two are so thematic and fun to play. Plus, they go so well together, so we gave him
two, just this one time. One for each
head.
Aaron “Lewdawg” Lewis
Starshot – Nice, clean, simple and powerful. The direct approach is always best.
Patrick “The Commissioner” Sullivan
Uncatalogued Species – The perfect quest for every racial
deck!
Matt Hyra
Mikael the Blunt – This mini-Razak is already making a
splash in tournament play and is sure to be a powerhouse for years to
come. Plus, he insults your opponent for
you!
John Fiorillo
Canissa the Shadow – Always lurking in the shadows, this
Blood Elf can really wreak havoc on an unsuspecting opponent’s best laid plans.
Mike Girard
Lo’Gosh - Captain of the Arena team, with Jim Lee art,
strong game play, and a whole new template…all these things combined make the
amnesiac king Mike G’s pick.
Alex Charsky
Miranda McMiserson – Because she is named after his
girlfriend. Aww…

Gladiators. How about you? What’s your top pick from the set? Comment below to let us know!
