Card Abilties

Scrap
After this unit destroys an enemy card on your turn, you may retrieve a structure from your discard pile, reveal it, and place it on top of your draw pile.

Unit Background

No one scavenges better than a Sand Goblin, but some Sand Goblins specialize in it to a degree that’s astounding. Enemies can’t rely on destroying gates to shut down a Sand Goblin offensive, since the little devils are like to a cobble a new one together, quick as can be. Will the rebuilt structures look as pretty? No, but then pretty doesn’t win wars.

Card Strategy

One of the main reasons Sand Goblins can play a good economic game is the Sand Scavenger, a highly efficient unit. If the Sand Scavenger kills a unit, you have virtually played a 0 cost 3/2 that, if not killed immediately, can easily retrieve another card thanks to its 3 strength.

You can try to protect them with a unit that has a Thruster Upgrade that covers it after it kills something, but this is not really needed for them to do their job, it is okay to just throw these guys carelessly to a target that they can reliably kill.
