Sweet! 
But no flying, bit odd 
Bloodbond > Blood Surge. 
Edit: @Aeruniel I think itâs safe to assume that it is functionally equivalent to our âBloodbondâ or Hearthstoneâs âInspireâ mechanic.
In regards to constructed, I think itâs certainly a fair card (which, at 3 mana, is much more accessible/playable than uber-fair Excelsious). For Gauntlet, I think this will support Sajj fantastically. Overall, good stuff.

Bloodbond? Blood Surge? I assume this is: when your general uses his BBS?
If so: I love the new tactics and extra depth this brings to turns!! 
Well the little circle on the ground implies he is just barely floating, appears thatâs as high as he can go.
Very cool card.

meh⌠heâs a combo piece for sure which means youâll want to run him on a very narrow spectrum of decklists.
Now thĂĄt is what I would call an excellent little piece of design. Love it. I hope this helps push Sajj players forward!
Very cool new Keyword, love the name, love the design potential. Canât wait to see the other Blood Surge cards!
âActivate the following effect for the duration of any turn wherein you activated your Generalâs Bloodborn Spell.â
@eudaimonia phrases it properly: [quote=âeudaimonia, post:16, topic:6720â]
âActivate this ability whenever you cast your Bloodborn spell.â[/quote]
In this case: Use your BBS while Zephyr is on the board and then your General gets Frenzy until the end of the turn.

Itâs pretty obvious what this is meant to do; be the AOE equivalent of Falcius. It seems nice in control Sajj, but I would not play this over Falcius.
4 damage AOE around the General and a 3/3 body for 4 mana in Sajj is impressive, but it requires your general to be positioned next to a bunch of enemies, which your opponent can anticipate.
Overall, this seems like a general centred version of Holy immolation or Makantor Warbeast that leaves behind a 3/3, but is restricted in range. Is this enough to make control Sajj Viable? Who knows. That deck is still severely lacking in healing. It is cheaper to activate and more powerful than Makantor and Holy immolation in a vacuum, but is easier to play around and emphasizes Vetruvianâs weakness to things out of reach.
However, just from the fact that I am comparing this to Immolation and Warbeast, I can say that it has enormous potential.

Yes, thanks, I assume you think Iâm right?
But I donât get what youâre saying at all.
Duelyst doesnât have a âBloodbondâ mechanic (you do mean Duelyst with âourâ I guess)?
And Hearthstone⌠oh⌠I really wish people would stop assuming everyone played this other game or knows the mechanics or keyword words or such.
I really have zero interest in Hearthstone and its keywords mean nothing to me.

This is Amazing! A new mechaninc and a card that sinergies with sajj perfectly:)))
Ah sorry, I meant âourâ in the context of the forum and the Card Design Contests.
Essentially the same as @thematsjoâs description: âActivate this ability whenever you cast your Bloodborn spell.â

Love this card concept, this can push many new combos as well for Sajj as well, which I think will be the key to this card (although expensive or requiring extra investment)
Examples:
-Falcius
-Artifacts (imagine Spinecleaver with this)
-Time Maelstrom (who needs beast Master?)

Very nice card. Cant wait for tomorrows spoiler, is it gonna be Songhai or maybe just maybe finally good magmar 3drop? 
Thereâs not much to say. Itâs a pretty amazing card in sajj. It obviously combos well with various cards but itâs not needed what so ever for card to perform really well. Iâll take a chance and say how this is card is even more swingy than falcius. I have no doubts it will be run in every sajj deck, at least as a two off. Unless she gets an even better card that does a similar job which I doubt it.
- simple design
- strong effect
- good by itself
- decent stats
As fun it is to see those super interesting cards with wild effect, the simple ones like this one definitely have a charm of their own.

Excellent card! Itâs also common, so potentially usable by everyone. Having these important cards with low rarity is nice to keep the faction healthy
