The Card of the Day is...
Warrior en-Kor
Stronghold Uncommon
WW Summon Knight
2/2
"0: Redirect 1 damage from Warrior en-Kor to a creature you control."
Hmmm, what an interesting little knight this is. This guy can shove off any amount of damage from himself to anything your control---distributed however you wish. Very interesting indeed. There are many things you can do with Warrior en-Kor, here are but a few suggestions:
- FUNgusaur/Wall of Resistance
Both of these nifty creatures get bigger and bigger every turn they are dealt damage and don't die. Oh the mighty fighting trio of the knight, wall, and fungus will surely have many duels with me very soon.
- Uncle Istvan
Even though old Uncle Istvan is considered "uncastable" by some, this is a good combo. This will gain you an undestructable-by-creatures Warrior en-Kor, seeing as all damage dealt to the uncle by creatures is reduced to 0.
- Wave of Flame/Inferno...
Redirect all of the damage from either of these massive spells to another doomed creature of yours. Odds are good the only thing standing after Heat Wave/Inferno will be the knight.
- Zhalfirin Commander
This "summon knight" can be pumped up with Zhalfirin Commander. There are cheaper ways to pump up a single given creature, sure. But one commander could pump up ...oh, say a knight deck?
