Coralis is primarily useful as a high-cost option, particularly when facing decks that provide you with extra magic. You can even return and resummon Coralis alongside a Changeling Swarm. As a champion, Coralis also helps maintain synergy with the faction's mechanics.
Its ability to force cards is situational and can be difficult to use effectively. However, when you're pushing aggressively, this ability can disrupt your opponent's positioning and open up opportunities to snowball an advantage.
Ultimately, Coralis’s greatest strength lies in being a high-health, expensive unit, filling a niche that the deck otherwise lacks.
