One question, what is the reward for achievement to win 10 games with all different cards in the deck(I know that premium and normal ones count as different cards). I am thinking of trying it.

Wait, do you need 10 wins in a row, or just 10 wins overall?
And also, I am not that high level. ;D

I think I'm onto something with the latest of my fat Yukiko builds, all I need to complete it is Yukiko's Shrine, grrr. Oh, and 2 or so Tacticians. Maybe a Naga Warrior, but that's not essential. Will compile the mmdocnet list later, now I'm being a lazy ***

Funny. I started to play a Fortune Kat, based on Blood of my tribe, Blackskull warlord and Grand finale with Stampeed

Promising. Stampede, blood of my tribe, earthquake on kittens, super-boosted warlord grand finale 
Speaking of funny, I did not expect to try Zardoc anytime soon and in one evening he has proven to be one of my favourite heroes. He has all the elements that I like in stronghold gameplay, offensive yet tough, plenty of combos, opportunities for direct attacks on life points. I had grown tired of Kelthor but everything I learnt playing him can be applied to Zardoc while changing the formula. And being able to use sunburst, wasp swarm, light of tomorrow and might of nature in the same deck? Awesomeness.

Indeed, he is definitely my favorite Stronghold hero. His special is just amazing, so many games won just because of it. When opponent leaves a hole in his defense, and I got Cyclop Brawler with Bless and Fortune that gives bonus damage, more than half HP gone in one turn. ;D

And the link is ready, rolling with this deck ATM. Nothing serious, just for fun. My combo has some hilarious chat results every once in a while

10 wins in a row with all different cards would be next to impossible!

I was thinking about Blood Caller. Lets face it the most useless uniue card in the game. the question is why is he useless, and what could be done to make him a better card.
Let me start with a small comperisom to other uiques.
What makes Doombringer, Atropos and Nyorai so much usable?
It is the fact that they have a come into the game/come out of the game ability. They are strong by themselve, but in the time they get into play. there are several ways how to eliminate them. So there is a large chance that their Come in/come out ability is the only impact on the game they will ever have.
Blood Caller does not have such an ability, which often ends in his death whitout any impact on the game.
The only thing Blood Caller has, and the 3 mentioned above do not, is actually a requirement.
Shure Blood Caller has the potential to be one of the strongest creatures in the game. With up to 14/14/7 at turn 5 and even more. But the price for this power i just to high.
In order to get such a power you would have to sacrifice 2 creatues with HP 7. (Tainted orc or War Oliphant). The price of 2 creatures is insanely high when you considere that you have to keep them alive and at high HP, and in the end, you wil lose them for a card that will most probably not even make it to the next turn. In the worst case scenarios you might face a broaken bridge (you just lost 2 creatures 5 resources for one 3 point fortune) Puppet master (your oponent just got a brutal creature and killed two of your heavy blockers)
Even if he would survive, is the price of 3- rounds 9+ points and the killing of 2 played creatures really a good cost for one creature, no matter how strong it is?
So how could we make this card work?
Well we could A: add some abilities
or B: Change his conditions
If we would to add abilties, two interesting ones could be Quick attack (but that could lead to some insane OTK strategies) or give him the same abilitie as the Blackskull crusher has (Still I don't think he would be a good trade for the needed resources)
B sounds like a better option to me. We could change the condition from the creatures in the game, to creatues in your hand. This would save several disadvantages of this card. You would not lose played creatures and the resources you spent on them, and you also would not have to worry about their survival in the first place. Still it would be a 1 for 3 cards trade.
Or we could go over the top, change the text to only one creature from your hand, and Blood Callers values would be based on the 2x of its HP. Still easy to kill, would be a 2 for one trade, but a creature that is worth playing. (Or even a bit OP, but with no come in/come out ability)

I agree that he is pretty bad, but both of your changes(A and B) would make him overpowered as hell. Quick attack with 14 damage will be seriously broken, and if he is completely immune to enemy magic, then I don't see what is stopping Zardoc from destroying you in 2 turns after you deploy him(or 1 turn, for that matter). Of course, there would be some counters, like Banshees, Decay Spitters or some units with Quick attack, but it seems like only Necro would have viable options to deal with him(surprise surprise) and Inferno to some extent(hello Hellfire Maniacs).
In the end, maybe we could add that ability, but you have to sacrifice only one creature, so he will be less powerful in terms of attack(7 attack is still damn good too).
