Unit Background

When the Inventor created the hellfurnace with his summoning stone, he was disappointed with the cog that housed it. With that in mind, he created a machine capable of utilizing the furnace in a manner that better fulfilled its promise. The result was Hellmaw, a terrifying beast of metal that incinerate foes or reduce allies to scrap that can be repurposed later.

Card Strategy

While Sprocket is designed for assassination, Hellmaw focuses on economic strength. As an economy-based champion, Hellmaw allows The Forged to excel in attrition battles. The ability to recycle cards is incredibly valuable. 
The ideal play involves using a low-health unit or structure, attacking with it, and then using Smelt Down to deny the opponent magic while returning the unit to your deck. Additionally, this opens up space for other units to attack, especially ranged units. 
Hellmaw is best in slow-paced games, where recycling damaged structures can provide a significant advantage.
