2 command, 3 cost and generates card advantage good card.

This seems a little too expensive for what you get, especially since you'll need to have resources left over to actually use this card's ability. I'd like it a lot more at 2 for only 1 icon.

Agree with Kingsley. Not only is the card uneconomical, but its ability is too specific in situation and too weak to be worthwhile, especially seeing as a Khymera based deck doesn't look too strong anyway.

If it was a Khymera for 0 resources as a reaction, or for 1 resources as an ability with no restrictions, we'd be talking higher rating, but I'd call this a 2 star card.

2.5/5 for now, seems to be 4/5 for an Urien deck where the discount of Torture events will also lead to adding Tokens all over the place.

Two Command Icons for 3 allready is quite solid. It's body and effects are not bad, not bad at all.

2 command icons for 3 and 3 HP makes this a decent unit well-suited for its response: stay out of troubles and trigger as mush as you can. Doesn't support choke and is not very combat-oriented.

We'll love the with Urien, maybe, but now they're resting in my binders.

2/5

I put this in a Urien deck, because I miss my Khymeras.  In a 7 planet grueling match I got to trigger this 5 times.  Plus the 2 command icons were welcome, and 3 health kept it alive.  It ended up in my warlord train, and never got killed as it was a non threat, except for the fact I kept trigger it's reaction.

The thing is that if I had that many resources spare to trigger this 5 times, I'd rather just have a Soul Seizure.

The thing with this card is that it has its uses (albeit limited) in a Kith deck due to minor synergy with Khymera Den and the sig attachment, but is too situational/expensive for that tactic to be worthit, and in a Urien den you in essence sacrifice the saved resource for an (effectively) exhausted Khymera, again a hard trade off. If you simply need bodies and there's no area about, there's some use in this, otherwise for the sake of the stats you could take the Umbral Preacher from Chaos or the Vaulting Harlequin from Eldar, which are both 2 command, 3 cost, 1 attack units, only with 3hp and 4hp respectively (Vaulting Harlequin at least has Hypex Injector synergy, which can be useful in a Urien deck). If I had to, I'd take either of the allied equivalents over this card in either a Urien or a Kith deck.

All valid points.  My Urien deck is heavy events, so it was a matter of wanting more bodies, as I think my unit count for the deck was low, like 26 I think.

If it was a Khymera at the planet, it'd be so much better. A 2/1 in HQ isn't that useful, unfortunately.

I should mention this was more of a OMG game then strategy advise.

The game in question was the first time I had ever triggered the reaction (partially because I almost never used the unit before), so to trigger 5 times in one game was OMG! and it helped win that game.

I'll leave it in the deck though, maybe not 3 of, as I think I'll only ever want to play one in any given game.

It does highlight the fact that Urien in combination with this card is a Torture event and a Khymera for normal price of the Torture event. That's one of those things that is ridiculously obvious -- after someone actually points it out to you.

Which would be great, if torture events didn't have an inbuilt price boost of a 1/2-1 resource anyway. 

Command units for 3 are problematic and the Khymeras will be exhausted upon arriving to battle. This cards may increase in value when the deathworld cycle develops.
