Reviews

Once again, this is an adventurer card where both modes are pretty mediocre, and I don't think the combination of both adds up to very much at all. Glóin the Mighty is just far too small for a creature, even if it does give you extra free mana next turn, and Easy Pickings is incredibly over-costed for what it does. I don't like this one at all. You can do much better.

How to draft it

Roles in each deck

  • Goblin Army Threat

    Easy Pickings, the 3-mana , deals 1 damage to each creature your opponents control, which clears 1/1 , Nighthowl Pursuer and Gollum, Riddle Master. Glóin, the creature half, is a 4-mana 4/3 that adds at the beginning of each of your first main phases.

    How to play it

    Cast Easy Pickings when it kills two or more creatures, and otherwise play Glóin on turn 4. His has to be spent in that first main phase, so with five lands turn 5 becomes a 7-mana turn for Smaug, the Great Calamity or Stone-Giant of High Pass.
