This legendary card has tipped the balance in many Bronze and Silver league fights. As far as cost goes, it's relatively inexpensive for a legendary - $3.75-$4.00 at time of publishing. Combined with summoner Arlic for a +1 magic buff this card pumps out 5 damage per round: 3 to the tank and 2 blast damage to the second in line.

At two stars this card gains a whole team speed buff, which is welcome in all matches except reverse speed, and an additional +1 to magic. At 3 stars, you get a magic debuff, and at 4 stars an additional +1 to magic

Downsides - high mana cost can limit the matches and cards you can combo with. If it's a 15 mana battle, you might not be able to use a high mana tank, unless you go for a 2 card set-up.

Magic reflecting cards will chip away at this card pretty quickly.

A self-healing card in the second position will negate the blast damage unless you have other snipers or cards dealing damage to positon 2.
