The new Life shield is SO AWESOME! With the amount of Healing that Life is able to achieve, that shield just adds insult to injury. Also, I'm soooooooooo glad that Pulvy got upped in ability cost, just like it was suggested so long ago, lol. I'm liking all of these changes.
Mummies seem like a poor card... if you have scarabs you've already got time and gravity, so time and death and gravity wouldn't work that well, especially since you can just use aether to get fractals. Still......... I might try it.
Do pharaohs turn to mummies when killed?
In the trainer, Pharaoh is a stand-alone card, but in all likeliness, it won't be available that way in the live version of the game. Also, no, Pharaohs don't turn back into Mummies, and when you Rewind a Mummy into a Pharaoh, you don't get the Mummy back on top of the deck AND a Pharaoh.
