Lightning Ward

Unit Background

Subtlety is fine for some species, but Thrak needs goblin flesh that is easily deployed and aligned to complete circuits. Some minions might balk at being brazenly wielded so carelessly, but most Storm Goblins will agree to anything that lets them get one more taste of the storm.

Card Strategy

Every common unit in the Storm Goblins faction plays a critical role, but the Gust Strider stands out as the most most core and reliable. Its high health, decent damage, and immunity to Lightning Ward make it a dependable connector. It also adds enough damage to finish off commons alongside Chain Lightning. Its Tireless ability ensures that having multiple Striders on the field is never a problem.

When board density is low, Thrak and Striders can form an efficient one-on-one team. With its stats plus Chain Lightning, a Strider can win most one-on-one battles. However, this strategy may leave Thrak exposed, which could be problematic.
