A good card for Cato? Appropriate that an Ork is on this card as they specialize in fighty 2-cost units.
Such a weird card. Tau players have been begging for low cost units with decent HP, to the point that some actually play with the horrible Black Guardians. This guy has 4 HP for 1R. Of course no hammer and no ATK. But the problem with using this bag of hit points for an attachment platform is that he prevents himself from attacking too.
I think this card has some interesting, maybe even OP, combos that it fits into, but on its own, it's just weird and unfortunately not very good.
You can still put attachments on this guy, it just can't attack until the expensive things are exhausted. If anything, adding a stealth cadre is a pretty decent idea since it makes it a lot hard for your opponent to get rid of it, and gives it warlord stats (2/6)
Will be interesting to see if it sees play, however
It counts for all 3-cost units at the planet.
Knowing which units of your opponent will have to attack is helpful.
Against the more swarmy armies, it's essentially a fancy version of Ranged. Bouncy Ethereals or Shadowsunning stuff around might be entirely obnoxious, too. Combine it with Eldar mobile and you have a fun treat.
Alternatively, it's a nice way to help you get the (combat, if not actual) initiative at a planet by forcing the enemy to pass their attacks while your bigger units stay up. It sounds obnoxious enough to maybe force warlord commits?
in a general sense, I think this card can be used to force a swarmy deck to decide whether to attack with a warlord, or run. That would leave some Warlords vulnerable, or make them leave a fight and deny a planet based ability.
