Kingsley - 5/5
Matchup-defining. This will almost always need to be taken into account when playing against Crab, even in situations where it isn't that high impact.
nyxnyxnyx - 4/5
I’m not a big fan of this card. My major gripe is that it costs 1. I grudglngly accept that it’s a good card, albeit a little tricky to set up. Can be awkward if your opponent has more chuds to sacrifice than you do, and you start to draw multiple copies of it. Works best with additional character discard effects, like Assassination.
Grendel - 5/5
Really strong way card when on the play, crab have several openers where a unwary opponent can walk into a huge blunder. Outside of play mistakes, the resetting board state can always keep this card relevant.
I Fight Dragons – 4/5
The threat Way of the Crab poses is one of the most important things to remember when playing as or against them. If the Crab player manages to ever get a good trade with Way of the Crab then it can completely blow out an even game. This can be used in the fate phase when your opponent only has a clan champion left, or in the dynasty phase if they foolishly buy a big character first onto an otherwise empty board for them. You simply have to respect this card constantly or else you can lose the game to it.
This card is very powerful, the opponents of Crab Clan must play around this card all the game, it even conditions deck-building also. You don't need to kill high value target to make this card shine. The fact that can be used to activate the Vengeful Berserker is also a boon. Great card.
