This time around Wild Plains is not being screwed. Unusual… This is probably the best Godslayer so far, Festival Cow is also pretty good for a self-sacrificing common card and the weapon is close to perfect except for not being Green to fit perfectly well with Shaman Class, but then again DP doesn’t fits perfectly well Priest Class since it’s not Yellow. Prinal Axe art is a bit “unpolished”, but we had worse recently (Doomed Club)… 9/10 (Would be 11/10 if the whole kingdom would receive a rework.) ---

> [@Rickygervais](#): > > it look like a dog not a cow This particular race of cows/bulls does have some sort-of canine-like features, i believe the impression comes from the snout/nostrils which are usually black resembling a dog snout: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/e/4/e4420e01b69428bbe65ddd9617d17b5430e7881a.jpeg) It’s a rather common “premmium-race” here on Brazil, having it’s own cultural festival with dancing performances and such: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/e/c/ecc76bb777737f87dc09fa0ec9659483aacd0d49.jpeg) ---

I’m not sure if @Sirrian ever saw this race when he visited Brazil, more than likely the inspiration came from the artist. We have better things to inspire troops on GoW honestly: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/1/9/19ceaf4dc2fcd26c83d41f0a7ca155f4952eeb52.jpeg) Capybara’s spell converts an enemy troop to your side on battle. Nature’s best diplomat! 💀 ---

Buncha bull this week. 😉 I like the common, but that is because I have peasant DNA. Now, do I save event keys for a chance at Ketras… methinks YES-tras!? And, for that, I will probably fail. 😆😕😞 ---

Or perhaps that pun was the key to victory. I do hope you get him, he is a great troop for the tauroster. ---

I don’t know why but Festival Cow’s art really did it for me haha. I like it. Earthcaller… seems like it’s going to be really good given how we usually approach these events. Like, wow. This could be useful vs. the _minions_! ---

So they Tauros people sacrifice a cow to boost themselves? This feels wierd. ---

Ahaha… I accidentally upgraded Primal Axe before realizing its another “great” weapon with Destroy 3 Random gems. Wish I could undo that. ---

I like how the devs know this is a problem and yet they release new weapons with exactly the same problem. Can you test and see if at least the destroy gems happens before the gem creation? ---

Affixes generally happen afterwards (after the spell), but before gems/matches are resolved. ---
