Card Synergy: Make a Weak Card Strong!
So I got this idea in another thread and wanted to take it further. Let's discuss 'underdog' cards (e.g. weak/unpopular/basic) and how they can become strong by using other cards/mechanics.
PS. I used the term 'underdog' for the lack of a better alternative. This isn't a discussion about which card should be classified as an underdog or not, but rather about how a card can be elevated using the right tools.
Ekimmara
At first you might consider this unit nothing too special. Pre-patch it was an okay unit to trigger the devour buff. Now it's agile, which means you can devour a unit on a different row to dodge the likes of weather, Igni or Rot Tosser. This flexibility makes it an awesome unit. But the real danger comes from the new Monster passive, which keeps the last played unit on the field. So you can use Ekimmara to devour the strongest unit and have a nice head start the next round. The whole shebang makes this unit now silver-worthy. Even then it's not the unit itself that is strong, but rather the variety of combos it can be used with, including the basic ones, like Nekker buffing and situational ones, like dodging Igni.
