Card Abilties
Wrath
This unit has +1 strength for each damage it has.
Unit Background
Gul-Dass is a demon inhabiting a monstrous corpse. It is bound to the mortal plane by an incantation incorporating the demon’s true name, but Ret-Talus has forgotten he was the one who even summoned the demon, much less its name, and so it remains eternally trapped upon Itharia, its might degrading with every passing year.
Card Strategy
Gul-Dass is a very, very tricky champion to use. If not played correctly it can be truly awful.
Essentially it is a champion that needs to be protected, but at the same time it doesn't do much unless it gets in the fray and damaged. If you don’t give the opponent the chance to OTK Gul-Dass then any wound means it will hit a lot harder. At the same time there is really no need for the opponent to attack it as 2 melee attack strength is not very threatening.
So what is its real role?
Mainly it is a wall to protect your frontline and put pressure on your opponent. A wall that can suddenly do a significant amount of damage if Blood Summon or your own attacks are used against it.
However don’t make the mistake of exposing this wall too much, Gul-Dass is not life efficient (it just has a 1 to 1 life to magic ratio, which is quite terrible). If your opponent one-shots it, as they certainly will try to, your champion was effectively a negative value for you.
So the key is to protect all but one of its flanks, leaving just one exposed and letting it grow into a serious threat as it becomes damaged.
