Unit Background
Dese Abua has been the shi of the Savannah Elves for almost a century, an experience that helped him transition to also being his people’s summoner. He has little love for his summoning stone, seeing as it came to him mysteriously at the same time his wife and one of her guard vanished without a trace. Now he broods over her disappearance as he obligingly does his duty, plotting how best to use the summoning stone to protect his people and ensure their survival.
Abua Shi sees the need to safeguard the region from the depredations of other factions. He yearns to rebuild the alliances of old, and perhaps avenge those great friendships now lost to war and suffering. But while the Savannah Elves are a pragmatic folk, Abua Shi finds himself being drawn into a kind of political warfare his people are naively unprepared for.

Card Strategy
Abua Shi's ability is not as strong as many other summoner abilities, but what it is, is safe. You can very easily use it every turn, maybe at the cost of a more optimal move. From the safety of your side you can slowly use it for uninterruptible growth on your units. This is the reason this can be seen as mostly an economic deck.
Abua has a massive 5 ranged attack strength but not many ways to make use of it. However, often you can kill units at range without exposing him too much, which is a big part of the deck’s defensive plan.
Abua Shi needs to be close to his units, since most of his abilities and events have range requirements. Yet Abua has no tools to protect himself, which does present a challenge. Be careful with your gate placement, and don’t be afraid to have a unit acting as a bodyguard. The closer he gets to the center of the board, the more Abua can support his units' counterattacks, although he is also exposed to more danger the closer he gets to there. That tension is one of the main challenges of playing the deck well, especially against factions with high assassination potential.
