Unit Background
Sunderved’s story is hardly unique, but is assuredly the kind people adore. Born under-sized and weak, this now-towering Vargath refused to accept the limitations other people saw in him. He proved himself in his schoolwork, and upon joining the army, thrived under its strict regulations. He made Captain in his tenth year, and eight years later was promoted to general soon after his heroics at the Battle of the Guardwall, where he personally slew the goblin king, Swig and all of his retinue.
Some still call Sunderved “General” out of respect for the ram who kept his homeland safe for nigh on forty years. But Sunderved, ever a lover of formality, chafes under that old title which no longer applies to him. Despite his desperation to find either peace for his people or some refuge where they can wait out the ongoing wars, he feels great optimism for the future. He knows the summoning stones could help build a paradise if only the others could stop squabbling for scraps.

Card Strategy
A support summoner, Sunderved is essential for the Mountain Vargath to function, as the units are tough but lack the strength to be able to pressure the opponent unless they are supported by him. Adding +3 Strength in total per turn (+1 per attack) is very powerful and is the core of Mountain Vargath strength in combination with their high life units.
Unlike other factions, the Mountain Vargath do not have a Plan B. If Sunderved is forced out of the picture, it’s a downward spiral from there for the faction. However, because his support ability has a range of 2 and works through gates, it is possible for Sunderved to support the team safely most of the game, even when he is low on life.
If he is under potential pressure, his Epic Event Stronghold can allow him to easily retreat to a safe position.
It's important for most of the game to minimize the chances for the opponent to damage Sunderved, he has 4 strength and especially with Battle Leader may be tempting to use, but you should only do so if it’s reliably safe, often with the afore-mentioned Stronghold as a fallback.
