Immortal Vanguard - Songhai Manakite Drifter

IMG_0869

Not sure what to make of this. I guess you can ramp to 8 mana on the 6 mana turn, but other than the combo that everyone loves, Songhai doesn’t have any notable plays on 8.

Even in the combo deck, your opponent can anticipate when the Songhai player is gaining the extra mana and play some sort of heal/spell prevention on that turn.

You have a 4 turn window to play these before the effect becomes useless, and only 2 of those turns are available unless you ramp this out.

Nice, more dust :I

This + Eclipse + Sarugi. Plays?

If you could go over your 9 mana limit th is card would be great. I like it tho you can play combos from ur hand 2 turns early which is cool now all song Hai needs is some more consistent draw

I don’t really make any of the cards, or balance them, or name them… just kinda put them out there.

That being said, seems people are upsetti with Mantra decks, want Songhai nerfs, but then they want amazing Songhai spaghetti, what do you want guys!? :sweat:

This plus the card that reduces spell costs by two, then use heaven and a bunch of mana for spells I guess? Honestly a little scared about the combos this thing can open up but we’ll just have to see. Not super concerned yet, might turn out not being used at all.

People just gotta shoot the messenger apparently. Run, Forest, run!

Not sure what to make of this either. 8 mana mantra or 8g8s play on your 6 mana turn could be crazy good, but this card is pretty useless once you hit 5/6 mana, and the body is nothing impressive. I guess we’ll see, but likely some more ‘will Songhai draw the right cards to win the game’

I’m going as fast as Magmar can carry me!

Tfw you used to ask Thanatos to delete Magmar from the game on a weekly basis but now you really enjoy playing Ragnora :grimacing:

My non-so-secret plans to convert everyone to Magmar is coming to fruition finally

I think the real question is

“What is Songhai’s most damaging out-of-hand combo for 8 mana?”

I don’t play the faction so I wouldn’t know. Anyone have any experience with this?

Well it looks a bit meh for 4 mana, but i understand why its so expensive (mantra)

Wait, what if it builds on 9 mana?

We want everything and nothing!

I don’t know for certain but looking at their cards, I can get 18 damage with 8 mana and 5 cards without any cards being discounted or coming from an outside source like Oni or L’Kain.

Edit: but that is like perfect scenario. 2nd Edit: 19 damage with 8 mana and 6 cards, its almost becoming like a find the lethal puzzle.

Or you use obscuring mist, reactivate the minion three times, and killing edge for the last hit. That’s 24 damage at 7 mana, 8 if you use K’s BBS to position the minion behind. Because we have to assume we have at least this minion out to gain the extra mana. OTK if you can attack with general.

Same as last expansion, they wanna complain :sweat:
