This is the continuation of my last post (it took some time) and the focus this time will be on the less known/used monsters that can synergize well with Obsidian, Queen Mycelia and Mycelic Slipswpawn

Djinn Biljka

The least popular Chaos Legion Reward card will find its place in the current Meta shift being a magic damage dealer and having protection from Mycelic Taunt, Queen Mycelia Protect and its own camouflage

  • Pros
    • Camouflage: can't be targeted unless it's on the first postion and doesn't require careful placement (of course not in the second position)
    • 3 Mana Cost: Perfect for low mana battles, providing 1+1 Magic damage!
    • A chance of getting it for free by doing Daily Quest
  • Cons
    • Weak stats: low health and low speed, we can't ask more for a 3 mana card
    • Needs to be at least at level 3 to get decent stats and Weaken

Scavo Hireling

Don't get mistaken by this cute creature, it can make your life a nightmare in a never-ending circle. Won't go through the pros and cons since it's all about the synergy: Slipspawn as a tank with taunt + Goblin Psychic Tank Heal + Queen Mycelia providing Protect + Scavo Hireling with Repair, each round Slipspawn get healed and get its armor back from Protect + Repair: This is huge! Absorbing a heavy hit from a fast melee/ranged opponent will make that enemy monster kind of useless and keeps The tank Alive much as possible while dealing tons of magic damage. If Scavo got magic damage, it'll be broken with Obisidian!

Doctor Blight

The subject of all the hype and FOMO for the first Chaos legion pre-sale round and it got even better after swapping Slow for Camouflage. Doctor Blight is a better version of Djinn Biljka for an additional mana cost and the higher its level the better and Solid it becomes (5 Abilities at level 4)

  • Pros:
    • Magic damage: Profits from Obsidian +1 buff and no risk of missing
    • Camouflage
    • Affliction: Great to stop Lama/Kron Rampage, Life comp with double heal, mirror matchups, Haunted Spirit etc...
    • Neutral Card can be used in 95% of your battles
    • Low mana cost perfect for low mana battles
  • Cons:
    • Needs to be leveled up to unlock the full potential of Dr Blight.

Spirit Druid Grog

A not-so-popular legendary card, but its ability Resurrect can synergize well with this composition: After Slipswapn death, it gets resurrected with 1 Health and 2 Armor from Mycelia Protect, if we're lucky enough, it can get healed by Goblin psychic to make it survive a bit longer after the resurrection. Spirit Druid got 2 magic + 1 magic buff can deal serious damage but 1 health and 1 speed make it a mediocre choice compared to many monsters that can do a better job.

It was enjoyable brainstorming about the different synergies between the Chaos legion monsters and the older editions, moreover, the higher the league, the more abilities get unlocked and probably better synergies can be made!
