Ideas for themed support for abyssian

I’m the type of person who speculates ALOT about what kinds of cards would be cool or what effects would be nice for certain cards to have that would benefit the game (for all CCG games not JUST this one)
I have a few ideas I’m about to list for themed support for the abyssian generals (which is where I think we should go for all clans after cycling starts happening)

Abyssian card idea theories:
Lilithe: Honestly just give them like one more way to buff the wraithlings. Or give them a minion who can offer spell protection for cheap. Abyssian swarm suffers from crippling AoE spell problems but is honestly the version of abyssian getting hit the least by the cycling(thank god).

Cassyva: I have the least amount of experience working with Cass. The last time I played with her was before shadow creep got reworked into being kinda garbage. However I have an idea for a minion to give her back some draw power while also doubling for Maehv support. Literally just give them a 1 health minion for cheap that has dying wish draw 1(or 2) cards(or make it so you only get the draw when using your bbs). Cass is about to lose her only draw card and I think the fact that this also works with her BBS is a neat interaction. It also makes all abyssian generals have at least one draw card.

Maehv: Maehv is about to lose ALOT since she’s losing her big pot belly bomb Gnasher aswell as prophet of the white palm (both of which being easy staples for maehv decks everywhere). I think she should get an archetypal equivalent of gnasher but possibly for cheaper that does less damage. Also give us a minion that has dying wish: summon a 4/4 husk. Or just give us any minion to act as a mook minion for Maehv (like lilithe with gloomchaser or Cass with abyssal crawler) I also think maehv should get some more support for her necromancer type playstyle. The whole idea of necromancers in games is always that they give health as a price for doing crazy things but then eventually they get the health back. You give alot to receive even more. Necromancers are all about greed. Most maehv decks seem to try and do this but by using nuetral minions. I think they should work in a way for her to get health back while also giving her more ways to spam husks and make more spells focused around husks. Make husks Maehv’s version of wraithlings. Lilithe gets her batdemons of doom while Maehv gets her hellhounds.

I think this would give abyssian a fun and interesting dynamic between the generals. Each one getting their own minions and their own playstyle. Lilithe is the swarmer, Cass is the general based on control and spamming creep to power up her minions and wither away the opponent’s. Then Maehv is the necromancer who spams Husks (although make the mana costs high enough to the point that she can’t spam husks as easily as lilithe spams wraithlings. Always give a tiny bit of a cost for the husks.)

I think maehv could become the arcanyst general. Death knell could be her late game bomb and her bbs ensures that nightshroud dies in time for ressurection. We just need a bit more support.

true. Or hybridize both my idea and yours. arcanysts that die to summon husks so you maintain advantage. Or arcanysts that make it easier to summon husks. I just think her playstyle should still incorporate her bbs’ good side. the 4/4 beater it can give ya
