D2: Golem and Wyrmlings

The first of the previews leading up to Wave D2, as I said earlier caused a bit of an uproar. Here is my take on the units from the Golem and Wyrmlings exapnsion.

The Iron Golem
We finally got some of that promised Vydar love! In giant walking tank form even! At 3 life he doesn't seem like he has real great survivablity, until you see his 6 defense. Not only that, but your throwing 8 dice against the evil Special Attacks! He looks like he'd be a real good shock troop to send in, take out the special attackers and everything else he can. He will be a real good herokiller with that high attack. Lava Resistant is a small bonus though. Until we see a reprint of Volcarren Wasteland or a new set all together, this guy isn't going to get much use out of his second ability. I still wish they portrayed Golems as constructs that could be controlled. It would be a complex, but fun way to introduce some bonding.

Wyrmlings
These guy may look small, but with their bonding they could be a force to be reckoned with. Especially Aquilla's blue wyrmling! Not only is this unit cool in that it shoots lightning bolts around corners, but it also gives us a taste of Aquilla's future dragon. Personally, I hope it's this figure. There is already a contest up for creating Aquilla's dragon starring that figure. Back on the wyrmlings though. I love how they made the little guys represent their tougher, larger versions. I can't wait for the Green Wyrmling!

As for the Bracers of Teleportation, who needs Tul-Bak-Ra anymore?
