Captain Howler, Sea Scourge
Captain Howler, Sea Scourge arrives as a brusque threat that rewards aggressive deck engineering. This legendary creature pairs discard synergies with a punchy five four clock that pressures life total and board state. Play him and trigger fleet tempo as you pitch cards; each discarded card boosts a chosen attacker by two power and sets up a draw when that attacker connects.
The card reads like a tactical tool for midrange and control players who lean into resource churn. Ward {2}, Pay 2 life provides protection that taxes removal, while the discard driven buff and conditional card draw create profitable attack windows. Use Captain Howler to turn excess cards into offense and to refill your hand after a successful strike.
