So whilst I didn’t quite get the name right...I did nail the ability being "Magic". "Groot" or now better known "Spirit Hoarder" was dropped a few days ago and I still love this card, Lets break it down!

I still think if you don’t see the similarities here you are blind! That being said lets look at the card:

I love this card, its my favourite airdrop so far. Level 1, 1 x Magic / 1 x Speed / 3 x HP so you'd think...meh not the greatest stats and you'd be correct, however pair that with "Obsidian" +1 Magic and that helps... but this is where the card changes the "Meta" its ability "Triage"!
For anyone that doesn’t know "Triage" does the same as "Heal" for the tanks but it does it for backline!
So the best way I have found to use this card is with the below setup:

So you setup with +1 Magic from "Obsidian" if you can afford the mana cost then "Grund" as your tank with his double attack will make short work off the opposition also he boasts a nice protective set of stats. You then stick "Goblin Psychic" with now +3 Magic in 2nd, but what you mainly want is his "Heal" this will heal "Grund" every turn...If required, So making "Grund" even harder to take down...Even much so as all but all the attack will be going to your backline, but we will get to that! 3rd Spot - "Spirit Hoarder" now +2 Magic, but just like "Goblin Psychic" its the "Heal" we want though its not "Heal" with him its "Triage" so his healing will heal our final card which is.."Mycelic Slipspawn" which now has +3 Magic but also has "Taunt" so all attacks will be coming at him... but with "Triage" in play he will continue to get healed!

In short you will be dealing out double the magic and with “Grunds” double melee with double the healing coming back, in conclusion a near unbeatable team! Especially in the lower ranks!!

The cost of "Spirit Hoarder" is currently sat at:
To Buy - $15.35 per BCX or 4.9m DEC
To Rent - 1.10 Dec
The price has been fluctuating but we have reached the bottom I believe now.

In Conclusion:

This card is a card id recommend anyone to pick up from top tier to just starting out it offers great support and good attack for its low mana cost and the fact its a legendary means you will bag yourself 500 airdrop points too...

Great breakdown, Spirit hoarder can be a great card in low mana battles or even with high mana and you need some support for your destructive high mana cards.

fairly solid set up

Thanks for your comment!

It's a pretty powerful card especially at bronze level where it's almost impossible to have triage. It can make a big difference. Nicely presented :-)
