Greeting fellow battlemages, this week we will be looking at the Cheshire cat look-a-like Feral Spirit. A well rounded fast sneak card for the life faction (Lvl 1 Stats: Health 2, Speed 4, Melee 1, Cost 3) A card previously available in the default spellbook this card will only be seeing play in the Wild format in the future. Good even at lvl 1 the Feral Spirit truly is a tenacious varmint with a very fast 4 speed.
Strategy and Placement
In the battle located here I placed feral spirit towards the middle. Mother Khala's buff granted an additional health meaning tank heal would heal 2 hp instead of one in the event of the eventual fall of Crystal werewolf. I predicted a magic lineup and placed Crystal Werewolf to absorb the brunt of the damage. The heal was able to outlast the opponent's damage. And scattershot wasn't lucky enough to take out my feral spirit in time. If he didn't go the very popular earth magic lineup in the recent meta, it is likely this match would be a much different outcome.
The enemy's damage being nullified allowed for the survival of my low man tank in this 4 cost or less ruleset match. Additionally having random fodder like the fiend and the chicken allowed scattershot to be further diffused in this case.
Talking Tidbits and Last Week's Giveaways
The Feral Spirit despite having a similar appearance to the Cheshire cat does not in fact hail from the land of Alice in wonderland. In fact here is the excerpt
"Forever caught between dimensions, the Feral Spirits (and all Luminous Beasts) are the result of the Obliteration of Light, a horrible destructive event in which all the living vanished from the surface of Khymeria. These spirits do not hunger or thirst, but their fangs still bite and their claws still slash."
So being a very fast sneak attack lines up with the lore description quite well. Last week's 15 day delegation winners are @squishna and @manni.boii congratulation may those cards fare you well in the arena.

Welcome, nice to see you and good luck.
Thanks for the delegation! And I still say the feral spirit is at least mythological cousins with the C.C. Please include me again. @squishna
I agree, I have a sinking suspicion that this card was heavily inspiried by the Cheshire Cat. Good luck in the giveaway, and don't think I don't notice your continued support.
Count me in.
@toheadshot if i win :)
You're counted in. Good luck
Found your post in the OPG discord. Feral cat reminds me of chesire cat too!
Welcome newcomer. Nice to see my posts reaching an audience that identifies with it. Cheers! Glad you liked the article. And best of luck in the giveaway. Hope to see your engagement in the future.
Thanks so much!
You can keep your Alpha Silvershield Warrior, I'm pretty sure I have one of my own somewhere. It was interesting reading your post, as I ran a White Splinter team as my off-team when I wasn't playing my main Green Splinter team, back in 2018 when I used to play. Thanks for an interesting view of how these cards are used these days though. 🤗
Glad you liked, thanks for taking the time to read and comment.
count me in - @elamental for the card deli if I win.
