Spirit Dain Ironfoot

First, here's the clip of the Caleb's rules interpretation of Dain: https://youtu.be/ri5AtxinPq4?si=CkZEalHIYQmkfGOH&t=1208 And Spirit Dain is probably the best defender in the game, despite Beregond holding on to everyone's hearts.

I wish I could say we saved the best for last. Unfortunately, this card isn't on the list of best cards in the core set. Although, it is the only hero that heals characters. Check out the blog! https://www.cardtalk2018.com Become a patron! https://www.patreon.com/cardtalk2018

A great toolbox card for the game. It remains useful to this day! Check out the blog: https://www.cardtalk2018.com Become a patron: https://www.patreon.com/cardtalk2018

From early in the game's life, certain cards just hold their value. Not that they are staples and included in every deck, but are cards you look for to do a specific job. This card is one of those cards. Check out the blog! https://www.cardtalk2018.com Become a patron! https://www.patreon.com/cardtalk2018  

Another amazing card from the core set. Amazingly bad, that is. Check out the blog: https://www.cardtalk2018.com Become a patron! https://www.patreon.com/cardtalk2018  

A card that was not very good from the beginning. Check out the blog! https://www.cardtalk2018.com Become a patron! https://www.patreon.com/cardtalk2018  

A card in the direct damage archetype. But we think that direct damage doesn't need this card. And that's a problem. Check out the blog! https://www.cardtalk2018.com Become a patron! https://www.patreon.com/cardtalk2018
