Bog Strider looks fun! Hope he blasts a ton of gems when Mythic. Glad to see the Purple/Green traitstones as well. NowayJoe2Go ---

Love that introduction for the Marsh Strangler! Fox in Socks was one of my favourite books (nah let’s face it- it still is) A bit shocked the Bog Strider is only a common… when I saw the awesome artwork in the game files I was sure it was going to be a Mythic or Legendary. Oh well, at least this way everyone gets to enjoy it’s awesomeness. ---

22 Giants, Event = kill 250 Giants. 6 Naga, Event = kill 300 Naga. Seems legit. And the only things with 50% buffs are the two new troops. ---

Not to mention there’s only like 5 naga troops so if you want to help players (with a full naga team) in PvP you have almost nothing to work with. I feel like naga was a bad choice. Especially when the requirement is so high. I believe this should be reconsidered. ---

And they took out the ability to use Challenges - which a lot of Giants were in challenges. However, on the positive side, I am seeing alot of defense teams with Nagas… Some a little more powerful than I can take on…but still ---

If you want to put a semi decent team up (made from Naga) as well has helping people then yeah, I agree with what you said. ---

Four Scale Guards is evil, given their Empowered trait and their boosted magic this week. ---

True, I just picked the common rarity card that was a Naga without actually really looking at it. ---

And they only seem to cover four of the six colors. Once we get to Merfolk, any chance the other kingdom troops could be added to the target pool to make it a little more… diversified?
