Do you think it is a broken combination? After all, it adds very large amounts of twilight with only a few exertions. Today, I played against mm’s Troll Swarm. He used the Keyward and Relentless Warg with 5 Trolls in hand, and added 20 twilight.

Now, do you think that it is a broken combo, or just a good strategy?
I had to put something here.

good strategy. it requires having a good number of trolls in hand, the right minion (keyward) and a warg to work, there are a considerable number of decks which can beat it.

I think it makes Troll Swarm overpowered, if not broken. As a combo it’s easy to set up. I mean, no one really complained about having to draw KoI for Uruk Bomb back in Towers block, or even getting a full set of Regulars.

So does popping out a couple more trolls cross the line from good to what-the-heck-just-clobbered-me-at-site-3 good? Well, most of my decks aren’t built to handle repeated attacks of that magnitude (assuming they’re even set up), so from the viewpoint of a scrub... yeah, this is probably the decktype I fear the most.

Not "a few exertions", it just provides the vitality for extra exertions.

And yes, it is an overpowered combo. Not broken, that’s something else. Definitely overpowered.

I say a Keyward errata that makes him unable to bear a warg is the best.

Seriously, who ever saw a Goblin riding around on wargs with a bunch of trolls anyway? Its an offense against logic, the LotR storyline, and any deck that gets clobbered!

However, Lackey is a better strategy.

i thought lackey was X-ed?

i say keyward should have been made with 2 vitality.

Yeah, using the warg-rider keyword woulda been much better.

And about Lackey, I don’t remember...I know that it was SDA-banned, but ah...was there something in the CRD about it?

LH your anagram is Broken, but the combo isn’t. It can be beaten, and when it gets beat the deck it crap.
