Battle Report: eThagrosh Shredder Spam versus Rask

It's time again for another Battle Report.  This is going to be an interesting one as we're pitting Thagrosh the Messiah (eThagrosh) and a whole mess of Shredders up against a more standard Rask list, since he seems to be the new hotness.

What's a "whole mess of Shredders"?  Try 10 of them on for size.  In total, eThagrosh is going to be running 12 beasts (adding in a Harrier and Typhon's BFF Typhon).  In the List Analysis portion of this article, we'll try to explain just how the big man can run so many beasts.  Then in the fight itself, we'll try to see if it really works that way in reality.

Rask is going to be his opponent.  He's got a great set of tools at his disposal and has single-handedly made Gators much more competitive.  Minions probably isn't winning any big tournaments any time soon, but Rask is certainly showing that faction potential to do so if they get another good piece of two.

Analysis: Lylyth, Reckoning of Everblight

"What is there beyond devotion, beyond strength, beyond even fear?  Only swift death brought by silent blades and falling arrows."

R'hyas, Sigil of Everblight

Well... thank you R'hyas for that less than inspiration introduction quote for Lylyth3.  Let's hope the rest of what makes up Legion's next caster is better than this emo pseudo-poetry.  Spoiler Alert: It is.

Think Santa's sleigh, but more spiky

In this episode of Analysis, we're going to look at the third iteration of Lylyth and what makes her so unique compared to her past versions.
