The addition of The Last Oath to the card pool means that the Dwarfs will be better positioned than ever to suppress their enemies’ acquisition of cards and resources, and, of course, the card only gets better in the multiplayer format. However, because Dwarf players can choose from any number of beneficial effects that force the sacrifice of their units, they will soon be able trigger The Last Oath at any point to to change the state of a game. Another card the Dwarfs could use to damage opposing units was the Hero, Duregan Thorgrimson ( The Fourth Waystone, 81), and his ability only worked at the beginning of the Dwarf player’s turn.

For the most part, these cards reinforce the factions’ core identities and bolster their signature strengths. Today, we’ll look at the impact Cataclysm is likely to make upon the game’s head-to-head play.Įach Cataclysm player card is playable in both multiplayer and head-to-head, and each faction gains a new Hero, a number of other units, supports, and tactics.
