The Final Onslaught

This week, the Piranas intend to hit hard to ensure a top position for themselves in the city’s hierarchy. And to carry out this final attack on the other clans, the fearsome Captain Bloodh is accompanied by Sting, Wheeler, Goldie, Cyan and Gran Vista. However, after recovering from their initial shock, the resistance is starting to get organized…



Trey




Character Background

As an accountant in a shoe factory in Poldachie-Golgovine, Trey didn't lead a very exiting life. But while out on the town one night, Bloodh - who was on the look-out for an accountant to oversee the sharing out of the spoils between his crew members - convinced him to join their ranks. Since then Trey has been one happy accountant.

Review

Trey is one of those cards that is not good enough cause there are better options out there. He has similar ability with Smokey and Katan but unlike the two he is not much of a threat. Low power and almost no damage makes him a sad card. On the other hand he can be a good defender.

Andsom




Character Background

In the past, pirates from all over the world used to like meeting up once a year on Sardine Island for a good knees-up and to elect the world's most ugly pirate. But since Andsom joined the Piranas the tradition has sort of lost its appeal as, for the past twenty-two years, Andsom hasn’t lost a single contest.

Review

This guy is really underrated. With 6 power, he's a bit tricky to use. It's hard to bluff convincingly with him and you are likely to just run into your opponets best wall if you attack with him. In many situations Smokey is better, but Andsom has that extra damage point that can be crucial and taking away pillz is slightly better than gaining some for yourself.

Tyd



Character Background

As an outstanding navigator, Tyd accepted Captain Bloodh’s offer for two reasons: firstly because the captain’s sword was getting dangerously close to his throat, but also because the Piranas are the only sailors crazy enough to follow him into the world's most dangerous seas.

Review

Any 8/4 three-stars deserves a spot in your deck especially for ELO and Type 1 where there is a 25 star limit. And his lack of ability is easily offset by his solid stats. The great power and good damage that he posses easily makes him a must have for any Piranas deck.

Deadeye



Character Background

Sometimes Spycee’s surprise omelet has lead to temporary paralysis of the arms, spots seeping with sticky, black pus and blurred vision. In short, a bit of fun but nothing serious. Except in the case of Deadeye (who had two servings) and for whom more radical measures were required…

Review

Deadeye is a mini version of Estalt which might be good; But against an opponent with power 5 - 7 power the best he could do is to be in the same league as his opponent in terms of power, which doesn't make him any better than Aktara. His low power really pulls him down it could be ignore if his ability had a lower minimum but sad to say a mini version of a bad card is still a bad card. His only saving grace is that he has a low star count and with SOB he has a good chance of winning in a non-random room during equal attack scenario based on the current rules.
