Card Abilties
Form Up
Once per turn, during your turn, this unit may target a friendly common or champion within 2 spaces. Place the target adjacent to this unit.
Unit Background
Varn is a charismatic lieutenant proudly serving under Sunderved. Handsome and honorable, he has an easy time of leading the troops under his command. At times, Sunderved worries Varn is too familiar with his troops, and carouses too much in his free time. But until the ram’s performance falterers on the field, Sunderved keeps those thoughts to himself.
Card Strategy
The most versatile champion in the faction is good in all situations. For a faction so based on formations, having a champion that can manipulate the formations for free is incredibly valuable. The fact that the ability can be used in any phase makes it even more so.
The range will feel short a lot of the time but that is reasonable.
Some, but not all of Form Up’s uses:
- Free a summoning spot to summon a new unit
- Bring a unit forward for extra range
- Rearrange a formation
- Get a unit to safety after it is threatened
- Protect another unit like your summoner after it is attacked and going to counter. Example - counterattack with Sunderved, killing his attacker and then use Form Up to bring a Glory Caller to the now open spot.
- Probably the major threat is the ability for Varn to kill a blocker and then bring a friendly unit to that space to attack the unit that was being protected.
Varn allows you to do a lot of interesting tricks when pushing but is also good on defense. Varn is probably good in most situations, the only important thing is that he is ultimately a support champion which means often you need to summon other units the turn you summon Varn. So generally if you want to play him, you will need to get to 7 or 8 magic so that turn you can summon Varn and a couple of commons to set up his tricks and best threat potential.
Note that Varn’s ability also works on champions and it has some very interesting tricks to use in combination with Quen and Torodin, and as expensive as this may sound, the Mountain Vargath can sometimes manage to get to such scenarios.
