How It Plays
Forgemaster Brund is a Deputy: a powerful unit kept outside your deck. You bring two Deputies to a duel, only one may be on the field at a time, and you summon this one by paying 3 mana and 2 gold. Mind the gold: gold refreshes to just 1 each turn, plus bonus gold from damage you dealt last turn, so time your deployment. Its card text carries Warrant, Fortify and Barricade — the rules are broken down below.
- Warrant — Forces enemy creatures to attack this creature first.
- Fortify — Enters with a permanent Defense boost.
- Barricade — Enemies must attack this creature first, and it shaves 1 damage off incoming hits when possible.
