UnderWorld Mutagen 5

The series continues! I think i should say at the beginning of this that everything here is my opinion, mine, all mine, my precioussssssss...*smacks self* Sorry about that! Let's begin!

Nauthalax. In my opinion he was one of the worst (if not the worst) DOP underworlders for the following reasons:

1) Water?! Water!? What the heck? That put him so far out of sync with his tribe. You had to put him with a different tribe (at that time over

worlders) to be able to use more then torrent of flame and steam rage with him. Even now their is only 7 water using underworlders (one of which is a M'arrillian).

2) Recklessness normal underworld ability yes but when he needs a pyroblaster to run with his own tribe he can't boost his energy!

Anyway with all of the new gear he can be used ( *cough* Elementalist Pauldrons *cough* but in my opinion he still sucks at least he has an (MC) (saving grace in my opinion)

Nauthalax T (Normal): In three out of four disciplines he has the highest of these 3 cards- at first then he burns it all up with exhaust AD5 however unlike his predecessor if he can win a power challenge he gets any element you feel like making him very durable in my opinion. However you should give him Khybon's Mech-blade for the extra power to make a few power attacks before

he exhausts his power (make four successful Power attacks and he's a weaker Heptadd!) His BWd ability is also nice for M'arrillians although no elements is bad at least he keeps his high disiplines. Okay better move on now.

Nauthalax AS: This card despite being so very sim

ilar to his DOP self is better for 3 reasons: Wisdom, Mugical ability and elements. He is awesome in most mixed decks because of his MCs and Elementalist Pauldrons will make him good in an underworld deck as well (him and magmon with Elementalist Pauldrons in a 3v3... ohh deck idea!).

So which is better ASs auto two elements (with

2 MCs) Or Ts easy 4 element gain? I can't really

say for sure.

Okay this is hard not only are their stats almost identical but they are for totally different styles of play Nivenna ROTO for underworld elementilist decks and UL for a unity deck and teaming up with her sister.They are at once way to similar and different for me to judge who's better.

These two scans are once again very close in disciplines (with the exception of courage) however they have abilities which link to each other but are all different so that's going to be a decioding factor first off DOP Rarran had range but no swift which made the windstrider battlegear ideal for him. He was a good jumper for the underworld with the fire element and fairly decent stats. Rarran tainted has swift 3 but no range which makes him perfect with the Skeletal Steed allowing him to hit all over the board it's like Ere with no recklessness! His brainwashed ability is a great anti range as you can be anywhere on the battleboard and still stop creatures with range. With this in mind and seeing as Rarran T with a Skeletal Steed has swift 4 and range i like RT better but it just depends what you can get your hands on because both are pretty good with the right gear.

*Whew* six more UnderWorlders To Go! Maybe only two more articles!
