Welcome to the GLADIATOR Class
Join the ranks of the Gladiators of the Nomadic Horde!
Our way of life is threatened, our freedom under threat from tyranny. The Great Empire comes with fire and ash, magic and steel. Only together are we strong, come brothers, let us unite under one banner, let the Blood Sands earn their name and paint the land red with the life of our enemy.
Upon joining the Gladiator Class, you will play as Leifheim, a front line soldier in the Nomadic Horde defending the Dust Bowl. While his motivations are driven purely by survival and protecting his kin, he is a vicious and ruthless fighter, with a disturbingly high body count.
The Play Style of the GLADIATOR.
The Gladiator occupies the colour RED on the Wheel, and is an aggressive deck that specializes in dealing non-combat direct damage via abilities and Support Cards. The Gladiator is the only class with access to 'HASTE'. A keyword that allows the Creatures that bear the ability to attack and act the moment they hit the field.
Win conditions in the 'Desert Fury' Gladiator Deck.
The Leifheim deck is fast and can often overwhelm other classes in a very quick fight. This isn't guaranteed however. Still your best bet is to lean into aggression, and always be on the offensive. Any Creatures you can spare should be tapped to feed Leifheims Ability, and tick away at your opponents Commander.
Who makes their home in the Blood Sands?
The vast desert region known as The Blood Sands (so called because of the iron rich soil that soaks the desert red), is home to basically anyone who defies authority, including several tribes of humans who fled the Empire. It is the Orcs, however, that claim ancestral ownership of the sands, from their ancient city of Grigarin, and they who await the next ruler of the sands, the one who will sit upon the Throne of the Ravager, which currently sits vacant.
The Orcs have formed a loose alliance with other tribes of nomads including Draconians (lizard people who hail from across the south oceans) and the savage Ogres. The Shamans of the Orc Cities have even made a skill of training and flying Dragons, a feat that is not lost on their enemies.
