We’ve got just two days left until Boston FIG, and the first chance to try out Card City Critters! And with that time, I’d like to introduce the second of our starter decks, the Dragon Hatcher.
Dragon Hatcher is based around hatching and raising mighty dragons. Dragons are all about growing stronger, and this is represented by their key mechanic: Evolve!
Cards with Evolve like Mighty Dragon can’t be put directly into play. Instead, they need to be placed onto a card of the evolve type. While this means they take a bit longer to get into play, they can often attack the turn they come if they’re evolved from a card played on an earlier turn.
Of course, you can’t hatch anything without an egg! Dragon Hatcher has a wide variety of eggs to use. Some, like Big Egg, are pretty simple. Others however, can be quite unusual…
Eggs tend to have low power. They haven’t even hatched yet, after all! Instead, their purpose is to hatch into something incredible.
Of course, just because you’ve hatched a dragon doesn’t mean it can’t get even stronger! Given enough time, they might grow much more powerful and wise.
And of course, dragons, like all other cards, can be played from the Trap Zone! Pitfall Dragon in particular rewards this sort of play, providing one of the most powerful stun effects in the game, while bringing out one huge threat to turn a losing game around.
Of course, some speak of an even more powerful dragon… perhaps the strongest critter in the game… a critter that can’t even be stunned…
But these are just rumors. Right?
Here There Be Dragons
Of course, this is just a small sampling of what Dragon Hatcher has available. There are also a fair number of non-dragon support cards, and other useful tools to fetch what you need. I’ll have one more day of quick self promo, but then it’ll just be time to play!
