When you do, don’t be afraid to cast them or they’ll inevitably become unplayable. The fact they can be played from turn one makes it near impossible to avoid.īest suggestion? Mulligan away your spells and hope you don’t draw them. Pranks have more than proven themselves useful. With Bandle City’s limited card pool it’s hard to not justify running Otterpus. The +2 cost is brutal for decks that rely on their spells.

You gain hand disruption, a 1|1 blocker, and free information right from the first turn! Attune ensures you can Prank from the get-go, and if you hit a spell you’ve effectively removed a card from their hand. While certainly adorable, Otterpus provides a ton of utility for a simple one-mana follower. This little fella has caused quite the commotion in the community. To top it off, Pokey Stick is a great find off of Manifest and helps round out the consistency. Heck, we’ve done that with Statikk Shock plenty of times and that’s far less efficient. Even if we have to target the Nexus to cycle it away, it comes at a low cost. Having the option to target anything ensures Pokey Stick is always useful. When the meta calls for one damage “pings”, Pokey Stick is the absolute premium answer. It’s useful in basically every deck as a cheap removal spell that replaces itself.

Pokey Stick is that card for Bandle City. You know how regions have their staple core spells? Shadow Isles has Glimpse Beyond, Demacia has Single Combat, Bilgewater has Make it Rain, etc. This caught us all by surprise as it wasn’t even properly showcased, but regardless we’re happy to have it! …Pokey Stick.? That’s actually a card? Yep, and it came outta nowhere as the final reveal before the patch.
