ART: rasto SOURCE (http://www.sxc.hu/browse.phtml?f=view&id=324972) Edited by Hyroen IDEA: Hyroen NOTES: Stride functions by checking in creature-playing order, which creatures slot is available next. If Flooding is played after Strider is already on the field, Strider moves right before attacking. If all the flooded spots are taken, it will still be played, just not somewhere flooded. Consider Stride a preferential placing skill. Stride is a passive. Designed to free your non-flooded spots of Water creatures and works well with SoP. Comparable to Ash Eater and Elite Scarab.

Also works incredibly well with SoP/Flooding, as we discussed in chat.  Mito-Strider also looks decent, as it's cheap and easily replicable.  This also gives Water a cheap hitter, which it has been sorely lacking.

I take it once all the spots are filled, it starts going back to spot 1?

Wow. Nice. Such a simple and elegant idea, yet it has fantastic synergy. I like it.

I'll add it to the notes.

Awesome!

The game needs this. It would actually make flooding+SoP a viable strategy.

[Drake_XIV]

I think that was the point...

this actually kinda turned OP with the buff to SoP, didnt it? look at what squids alone can do, and this would work well in combination with squids for cc in the middle squares

may have to wait for the patch to see which way to go with this
