Scubb

Character Background

Scubb’s life changed radically when Naliah, the queen of the Aquanis, cast a spell condemning anyone who stole her treasure to a life under water. Since then, Scubb has spent his time swimming around the Piranas’ boat gradually turning into a sea creature. And all that for a rubbishy old, gold-plated trident and a miserable, silver statuette… Not such a great trade-off!

Review

Looks like the Piranas are not contended with Katan so they added another guy like her. Well atleast the situation is not the same as how Striker and Alexei exist in All Stars. If you would be playing a Piranas half-deck Katan is better cause her ability is not affected by the number of Piranas in you hand while on the other hand if you would play a mono-Piranas deck then Scubb has a slight advantage cause he can get you more pillz.

Tula

Character Background

In order to quietly rid himself of any potential trouble-makers (coastguards, enemy pirates or Tyd’s ex-wife) Bloodh makes full use of Tula’s talents. A swift and silent swimmer, she can slip under enemy boats without a sound and in a matter of moments pierce their hulls with an accuracy that will plunge any nuisances to the bottom of the sea no sooner said than done.

Review
Tula is a 3/4 2-star that counters a lot of the currently used card in today’s ELO meta. She have an edge over most power reducing cards like Mona, Prince Jr, and Robb. By taking thier bonus away because , reducing thier power and the fact that thier power reducing ability can’t touch her makes her a pretty great card just for that purpose. The only sad part about her is that she needs her bonus to be effective or else she is a dead card in your hand.

Gran Vista

Character Background

Perched peacefully atop of the main sail, Gran Vista knows he’s got one of the best jobs on the ship, sheltered as he is from the captain’s rages and Spycee’s cooking smells. He can even nod off from time to time, without anyone noticing.

Review

For some he is a mini-version of Deadeye but Gran Vista might just be better because he can bring a card below his own power while the latter can only bring a card down to his. Taking this in consideration Deadeye just look worst unless you would add Ambre to the equation.

At best he can let you play either Dalhia or Bloodh or even both in your mono-Piranas deck but for everything else just use either Hawkins or Spycee. At least in my opinion he is slightly better than Trey.

Cyan

Character Background

There’s no denying that missing a hand can be a serious handicap for many activities, such as typing or knitting, for example. But Cyan has always known she wanted to be a pirate and in that line of work a hook or a well-sharpened blade at the end of your arm can be a lot more fun than just five boring old fingers.

Review

A 7/1 with Damage = damage opp makes her a Luba clone. And just like Luba she is also a nice card for any Piranas deck. And her above average power is nothing to sneeze at, and her ability will force opponents to pill when throwing out high damage nukes, making her a nice bluff if you don’t mind taking a hit for strategy’s sake. Overall, she is as good as Luba unfortunately unlike Luba; Piranas have a wider array of three-stars to choose from.

Goldie

Character Background

Flirtatious, temperamental and lazy, Goldie doesn’t have any of the qualities of a good pirate, but she does have something that any pirate ship worth its salt requires: a map of the most awesome treasure of all time and the key to unlock the secret cave in which it’s hidden. Because of this, Bloodh is more than happy to put up with her mood swings.

Review

Many players say that this card is currently the worst three-star Piranas right now. But in my opinion she is really not that bad especially if compare with what other clan has as their worst card. Her 5/4 stats might not be stellar but her ability of -8 opp attack min 2 is a decent enough for her to be used especially for deck formats that only permit common cards

Her main problem is that there are better choices for a three star card for Piranas.

Wheeler

Character Background

Wheeler could be considered more a piece of memorabilia than a veteran – a regular antiquity mounted on amphibious casters. He was already a bit of a handful in his youth, but since the Piranas mooted the idea of his possible retirement, he’s really turned nasty.

Review

This guy is Stanford with SOB instead of attack reduction as a bonus. Just like any other Power = power opp cards he is a little risky to use, he can sometimes help you or would be a liability. His only upside is that only cards with SOA as an ability can prevent him from having almost equal power with his opponent, almost because I am still considering card with ability or bonus that modifies power.

Not that bad even Stanford see some play with Uppers, so this guy might get some playtime too.

Sting

Character Background

Well before Smokey and Mayhem can set their cannons blazing, Sting is always first in alerting the Piranas’ prey of their presence. And much to the frustration of the gunners, sometimes just a few well-aimed shots are all it takes to convince the enemy to hand themselves over without a fight…

Review

She is one of those underrated cards. Sure the 4 damage for a four-star is bad, if they gave her 1 more damage then should would be better than Hax. Some would consider her as Nanook with SOB or in my opinion a Gibson that lacks attack bonus but can have higher attack when on offense. Even at defense or whenever her ability is not triggered, she will pull out a neat 7 power, which is still good. And the fact that Piranas have pillz manipulation cards like Smokey , Trey or Katan , she can use those extra pillz for fury to boost her damage to 6.

She can’t be compare to Katan but at least she is better than Mayhem.

Bloodh

Character Background

To command a crew like the Piranas, a healthy dose of authority, insight, patience and, as an optional extra, humor is required. But perhaps the most important thing needed to ensure the hotheads know you mean business is a well-sharpened sword and an unforgiving smile.

Review

Meet the captain of the Piranas. A lot of players were expecting this guy would be really broken. A card that would define his clan, unfortunately he isn’t amazing. He is solid all right but isn’t game winning.

People you shouldn’t be disappointed in the “failings” of this card just because it doesn’t own everything doesn’t mean its not good its a sturdy useable card. But the reason his not a trump card is because the Piranas so far have lots of strong 2 and 3 stars and ok 4 stars but you could easily fit this into an ELO deck if needed to because of the strength of their lower levels. If they made this card any better the Piranas would take over ELO or this card would be banned as soon as possible.

7/6 and an ability of +3 life for a five-star card is still more than useable especially in a clan where most of the strong cards have low damage.

Trey

Character Background
As an accountant in a shoe factory in Poldachie-Golgovine, Trey didn’t lead a very exiting life. But while out on the town one night, Bloodh – who was on the look-out for an accountant to oversee the sharing out of the spoils between his crew members – convinced him to join their ranks. Since then Trey has been one happy accountant.

Review
Trey is one of those cards that is not good enough cause there are better options out there. He has similar ability with Smokey and Katan but unlike the two he is not much of a threat. Low power and almost no damage makes him a sad card. On the other hand he can be a good defender.

Andsom

Character Background
In the past, pirates from all over the world used to like meeting up once a year on Sardine Island for a good knees-up and to elect the world’s most ugly pirate. But since Andsom joined the Piranas the tradition has sort of lost its appeal as, for the past twenty-two years, Andsom hasn’t lost a single contest.

Review
This guy is really underrated. With 6 power, he’s a bit tricky to use. It’s hard to bluff convincingly with him and you are likely to just run into your opponets best wall if you attack with him. In many situations Smokey is better, but Andsom has that extra damage point that can be crucial and taking away pillz is slightly better than gaining some for yourself.
