So good for Eldar, just dump the additional unique or recurrable drone. So much value.
In Tau you have a way to discard attachments for Shadowsun so it doesn't coast too much. In Dark Eldar you may find it harder early on, but card draw shouldn't be a problem long term.
I understand the first, because the triggering condition has been fullfilled many times
It triggers on each death independently and each trigger can cause more deaths, meaning more triggers.
So let's say that there's 2 1hp units, 1 2hp unit and 1 3hp unit and you swing for AoE 1. Assuming no shields are used, the 2 1hp units would each being destroyed, meaning you can trigger the Exarch twice. Let's say you trigger the first damage on the 2hp unit, which would kill it given it's already been damage by the AoE, which then allows you to trigger the Exarch again. With the remaining 2 Exarch triggers, you could draw another 2 cards and land those damages onto the 3hp unit, killing that and allowing another Exarch trigger. Since they have no units left you'd be able to draw another card, but not land the damage on anything.
For even more fun, should you have multiple Exarchs out they can each trigger on the same death. So if you have 3 Exarchs out and something dies, you get 3 cards and can deal out 3 damage
This is a self feeding Horror ^^
Seems very strong. Elites which can carry attachments are always nice.
A little Shuriken Catapult wouldn't hurt its chances of being useful either.
Completely missed that this can hit anything anywhere, which means that you can dump the extra damage onto their warlord/synapse wherever they're hiding. Damn
Very powerful. There are very few solid counters to this. Squiggoth Brute. Squiggify Inevitable Betrayal.
