Honestly, I'd find this more useful if it cost 3R, as another 2-shield card that works in a Landa deck.

Depends if the "Nob" trait ends up meaning anything. As it stands this is a pretty terrible card, but if the Nob trait has some significant use in the future then this could be useful (although I worry that it'll require a large number of combo pieces to work)

for now it stuck in the binder :(

A card that is only useful if you have multiple units at a planet. So it is a late-game card. Against great command decks like Eldorath, Orks tend to want to clump up on planets rather than spread out. This would be a card to reward and reinforce that strategy.

 

I'm trying to think about what other cards might be useful in an Ork deck that puts a focus on clumping units at a few planets.

Its useful with Crushface and lots of low drops

Hope for the future: something that gives orks a benefit equivalent to their command hammers.
