Today we are going to talk a little about utility and the card of the moment is Iza the Fanged, a legendary card from the earth deck and also the fifth airdrop of the legion chaos packs.
But that alone doesn't make her special, but today I'm going to tell you how she can be useful on the battlefield, first let's see what her status and abilities are.
As you can see it is a card with a ranged attack and I would say that its positive points would be the fact that it has a significant amount of attack and good agility (if you notice its agility is the same for all levels making it is a good choice even at the lowest levels), in addition it has a very low mana cost which makes it accessible in almost any type of battle and especially in the little league rule where I consider it very strong. In case you don't remember which rule I'm talking about I'll leave it below, And its negative point would be its amount of life which is extremely low even for a 4 mana cost card.
Now let's talk about your skills and that will be the main point of this post.
As you can see it is a ranged card with the ability sneak and that makes it unique because I can't remember any other ranged card that has this ability (correct me if I'm wrong), but what makes it even more amazing is the fact that it has the stun skill with the sneak skill, and you must be wondering what is so special about it, the answer to that is simple, all other cards with the stun skill always attack the enemy from the first position but the Iza the Fanged no, she will stun the enemy in the last position and that's where the game can turn.
As most of the support cards are positioned in the back row so the stun skill may not be so useful depending on the combination of cards the enemy has chosen as there is support card to heal the first position card, shield and even even clear all the debuffs, but with Iza the Fanged, in addition to stuning these cards that make it difficult for the enemy team's tank to be defeated, she also has damage to defeat them, that is, this will have a very important impact on the match already that in addition to preventing these cards from performing their support function, they also prevent them from attacking if they have damage.
And to top it off, she still has the scavenger ability that makes her gain 1 life for each card on the field defeated and I think this can make up for the fact that she has low health at the beginning.
I think by now you must have realized the importance of this card on the battlefield and how much it is being underestimated nowadays, in my opinion its current value does not match how much it is really worth and the value it is being traded today is $6.00.
I hope I've shown you the potential this card has and I hope I get to see more of it on the battlefield.
And finally, let's get to know a little more about the history of Iza the Fanged.
Rumors spread in the villages that if you wander too far into the jungles of Azmare that you'll be snatched by Iza the Fanged. She does not use her fangs, or her teeth to grab you—but the very jungle itself. She'll drag you off to some deep cave and place you before her to serve as dinner or plaything, depending on her mood. It is a tale that parents use to keep their children close to home. It is laughed off by villagers and travelers as a spooky campfire story. But every year the disappearances continue, so the rumors persist.
Iza enjoys the rumors spread about her, although she would point out her appetite is not for children. Iza does not know where she came from, except that she was born with the heart of a serpent. Her earliest memories are of trees all around her, covered in snakes. Iza moves silently, almost invisible, within the jungle. The earth mana wraps around her and flows through her, enabling her to control vines, thorns, and trees. Iza does not need weapons, for she is the very jungle itself. She prefers to string her victims along and play with them, taking her time to render someone paralyzed with her fanged bite.
Iza will prey on anyone who enters her territory. She has a particular fondness for snatching men after peering at them from between the trees, sparking their interest. She grabs them with twitching vines and hauls them towards her cave before striking. The last thing her paralyzed victims see is a dark, plant covered cave, decorated with human bones.
The undergrowth was full of thorny vines and rotting vegetation. If a traveler looked close enough, they might distinguish the outline of a great cave between the lush green canopy and the decaying ground. Various sized bones lay tossed about in the surrounding area. From a distance, the jagged entrance appeared to take the shape of a snake's wide open mouth. Lime green plants and colorfully vibrant flowers adorned the adjacent cliffside.
The vines on the ground twitched and throbbed as they crawled along the ground closer to the cave. They were pulling something. The vines rolled up the limp object, digging their thorns into sickly pale flesh. The body of a Scavo lay still and silent within the living vines.
A great tearing sound filled the air followed by a rush of wind. The canopy of the jungle shook, and a flock of birds took off from the branches. Their screeches and caws filled the silence. A thorn bush crawled its way out from the dense trees, pulling itself along with thorny tendril-like hands. It scuttled behind the vines that rolled the body of the Scavo and stopped inside of the cave. Then, like a great tongue, a large chunk of thorns erupted from its center and deposited the body of an older man with brown hair. He hit the ground with a THUD.
In the darkness of the cave, two sickly red and yellow eyes appeared. The unblinking orbs were slit like that of a snake. A faint hissing could be heard from within. The eyes belonged to a figure who crawled on the ground and rose up mere inches from the man's body. Her mouth opened to reveal razor-sharp teeth and a long tongue that flicked in and out several times. It licked the body of the man, and she coaxed him awake by running her hand along his face. The man's eyes flashed open, and he lurched backward in a panic.
“My, my...aren't you a handsome one?” the voice purred. “I must say, you looked tasty from far off when I first snatched you, but now. Mmm! You're much more delightful up close.”
Before he was able to get up and run away, the figure with the snake eyes reached out her hand, and vines lashed out from the wall and wrapped around his torso. He was yanked back and pinned to the wall. He glanced around and saw he was surrounded by bones and red smears. He began to breathe heavily and looked back at the figure with snake eyes. She swayed back and forth, staring at him with a lustful grin.
She rushed in, fangs bared. He felt sharp incisors puncture his neck, then his body went numb. All he could do was watch as she led in more victims with her vines and thorns, controlling them with some unseen force. The vines slowly crawled over him as she approached once more. With a cackle and a wry grin, she began to bite him. At first softly, then feverishly.
The man felt no pain as he was devoured.
