Disclaimer: I'm not saying these cards are competitive or good for climbing. I really doubt they are, in fact, but I really don't care.
I really like both Olgierd cards, especially now that they received a buff each, but there is no thread about them that I can find from the reasonably recent past. So, I made one.
Olgierd: Immortal is a really good card for decks built for fun and/or quests. He's also excellent in the "Patience is a virtue!" seasonal because control is not very common there due to the mode's RNG nature.
Sure, he cannot be boosted, but the immunity to damage is really valuable. He will even shrug off Rupture, as I confirmed yesterday when someone tried to Tyrggvi him.
Many opponents don't seem to know or fully understand what he does, as he isn't played all that much, so he also provides surprise value.
"Regular" Olgierd is also good for soaking up damage since the Order can be used every turn. You can also inflict damage on him yourself, and then just click the button to erase it. That won me a game once, and the constant healing can definitely be frustrating to opponents without locks, poisons, or ways to destroy the card in one turn since he has a large body.
As a bonus, and while it's most likely common knowledge by now I'll put tags anyway,
Anyone else a fan of the Olgierd cards?

playing Olgierd on the Temple of Lilvani board triggers a special effect.
