NOTES:
Because vikings ROCK… lol

This is my attempt to make a viable general purpose heavy hitter.

It is very tough for its cost, but as you can see, there is a big catch … or two…

First off, like all Vikings, it has a BIG appetite. It eats its owners quanta by the gobfull.
In addition to giving a double edge effect, it also provides a way around one of the largest problems to using rainbow quanta in summoning costs. I.e. nova and immolate cannot be abused to summon these en-masse.

Lastly, since either player may cause it to wander, there is a good chance that its owner could end up facing it. This makes for a fun mercenary like creature. It has a heavy punch, but will fight for the highest bidder… it also prefers players with smaller armies.

E.g. since each empty slot has an equal chance to get chosen the player with the smallest army, and therefore most empty spaces, is the most likely to keep ahold of it… of course they will have to pay it in a hefty sum of quanta.

I've started out a little on the high side for damage and hp, but I am erring on the heavy side. Note, however, that since this creature will favor small army sizes, it is meant to act as one of a small handful of powerful creatures rather than as part of a large army.

If lobotomized, the ability auto-activates at the start of its owner's turn. (I wanted to put that in the card, but there just isn't room)

Any feedback is welcome. Particularly with respect to stat and cost balancing.

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`

Lots of inconsistencies with the unupped image and table. 1. Ability name. 2. Typo of Absorb in table. 3. Stats are different.

Seems best for a mono deck.
It is the greatest mystery of all...

Thanks for spotting that.
Fixed the stats and spelling. Will update the image... ability name should be wander, just like upped version.
