Guardian of Esgaroth

Card Talk ·

2025/01/03

In true holiday fashion, the ally was a gift to any dale deck. I find it interesting to play him in a non-Dale deck and see if that can work itself out. Check out the blog! https://cardtalk2018.com/2024/12/25/guardian-of-esgaroth/ Become a patron! https://www.patreon.com/cardtalk2018

Brand son of Bain

Card Talk ·
