Wakai
Character Background
Wakai belongs to a race of aliens who are known for being very cute and for their love of children, well children’s fingers at least – their arms being just a bit too big for them to properly digest. So with this type of ambassador, it’s hardly surprising the aliens’ cause on earth isn’t making great progress…
Review
I don’t know which of the two was designed first by the UR staff but both Wakai and Murray are so similar it is hard to tell which of the two is better. Wakai has 1 less power, 1 less damage and 1 less life gain compared to Murray for 1 less star. But even with all those "1 less" I have written in reviewing this card that doesn’t make this cute little alien really less than Murray. Murray and Wakai are good cards and could be the gems in this week release but sadly both are walls and are hurt by SOA.
In my opinion Sakrohm main difference from other attack reducing clans is their weakness to SOA cause all of their good cards depends on their ability. And the fact that they are the only clan without any SOA right now.

Murray
Character Background
Some aliens do all they can to damage relations between earth and extra-terrestrial beings. They spread through the town making the residents’ lives even more unbearable than they already are. Fortunately, with his inverted positronic flow machine, Murray can rid the town’s inhabitants of these unwanted aliens (as well as a tidy sum of their cash) in next to no time.
Review
An 8/2 for three-star seems like another bad Sakrohm card cause other clan has cards with the same stats at two-stars and other clans have three-stars with similar power but with a higher damage. But if you would add his ability to the equation he could be one of the best three-stars out there. He can do a reasonable 5 points life swing, +3 life for you with his ability and -2 to your opponent without using fury. And he laughs at blockers cause he would always at least do 4 points life swing against them. His only downside is if he would go up against SOA cards which greatly reduced his potential.
This guy might not make any splash at the current metagame right now but any card with 8 power or more deserved to see some play.
