Flying
At the end of each turn restore 1 health to nearby friendly minions and generals

The flavour of this card is that it is a rescue angel that flies to your units in need and heals them. potentialy very strong in Zir’an decks

Bloodfly
Abyssian, Minion
3 Mana, 1/5

Whenever your Opponent summons a minion, they enter the battlefield with one less Health, and subsequently lose 1 Health at every end of the Owner of this Minion’s turn

This is a great card for whittling down those big minions so they can be finished off. Obviously weak to cards like Taygete and Lantern Fox (which proc when taking damage) but the upside is that your opponent will be much more hesitant to play other minions because of the -1 Health debuff. Is a card that will most likely sit at the back of the board, and will require concerted effort to remove. Very nice synergy with Creep, as each minion can take 3 damage over the course of two turns (2 from Bloodfly, 1 from Creep)

Transform a friendly Dervish into a Windstorm Obelysk. Draw a card.

This is a very simple spell, which increases board presence. Draw effect is a nice bonus, which allows you to cycle through your deck for more Obelysk/Dervish synergy.

Sandchoke Obelysk
Vetruvian Structure
3 mana (0/4)
Summon Dervish. All enemies require 2 movement points to move onto tiles adjacent to your structures.

Basically, creates a quicksand visual around each of your structures, making each tile cost one more movement point to move onto. If normal minions and generals have 2 movement points, you require one to move one step in each cardinal direction, and two to move one step diagonally, so this means that you would require 2 points to be able to walk one step onto a quicksand tile, and be unable to cross diagonally onto one, severely limiting access to your dervishes, adding more support to the archetype. I think it would be a really strong effect, but it wouldn’t be able to buy you instant value like with the wind and fire obelysks, and it has less HP to make up for the added survivability.

Sightless Master
SongHai Minion
7 Mana (3/7)
Backstab (2), Whenever an enemy minion is directly behind this minion, destroy that minion.

A strong removal card that capitalizes on SongHai’s cheapest spells (Blink, Inner Focus, Juxtaposition and Mist Dragon Seal) to teleport around the battlefield and eviscerate everything. With only one of the above spells, this card is still capable of destroying two minions on the turn it is summoned, making it a backstab-themed minion that isn’t reliant on Inner Focus to have immediate impact. Can even be cheated out earlier with Shadow Waltz or moved in for a kill on the enemy General. Design parallels to Onyx Jaguar (one of my favorite cards) as a card that turns simple movements into value.

Destroy a creep tile, restore 3 health to a friendly minion or your general

I think it will be a cool idea to have a one for a one effect, turning one resource like creep into another, health. Also Abyssian really needs a good 3 drop and this might be it.

EDIT: I changed it to a 1/3 because I forgot Kara was a thing. This would actually need some thought to be implemented, but it might stop Kara from using tigers, because she’d have this. Idk guys…I thought it’d be dope in a Faie Vespyr deck, but I think it’d be too strong in a Kara Vesp deck…

Put a shadow creep to the tile this minion is summoned on
Some additional help with creep generation and solid stats for a 3 mana minion. This would help Cass not being creep starved when she doesn’t draw Abyssal Crawlers or Ooz in the early game.

A way for Scioness Sajj to use her Bloodborn spell more frequently and aggressively. Compared to Arclyte Regalia, this is less durable, but has greater healing potential and Synergy with the faction.

Deal 6 damage to all stunned units.

Stun is a mechanic I’ve always liked in Vanar and it’s definitely underutilized. This would also apply to generals, allowing for Icy and Avalanche combos in Faice and giving more removal to Midrange/Wall Vanar.
