What Volibear Rewards

Relentless Storm · printed ability

“When you play a [Mighty] unit, you may exhaust me to channel 1 rune exhausted. (A unit is Mighty while it has 5+ Might.)”

Volibear asks you to care about combat math; the fun is setting up fights where your units survive because the Legend ability changes the numbers.

How it plays

The Game Plan

Volibear rewards building around large units. Every 5+ Might unit can turn into delayed rune development, so the deck wants enough Mighty bodies to make the ramp text happen consistently.

Strengths

  • Channels runes from Mighty units
  • Excellent with large threats
  • Strong delayed resource growth

Watch Outs

  • Requires 5+ Might units
  • Can clog on expensive cards
  • Channeled runes enter exhausted

Turn by Turn

  1. 1Early: survive and prepare runes for the first Mighty unit.
  2. 2Midgame: play 5+ Might units to trigger Volibear and build future resource turns.
  3. 3Late: use the extra channeled runes to keep casting threats after smaller decks run out.

New to this Legend? Pick Volibear if you like big-unit decks where every large play also grows your rune base.
