A Glorious Death - Warhammer: Invasion

Tis not so hard to die. Tis hard to give death meaning.

Quest cards are an odd, slow mechanic. What happens is you play a quest in your quest zone, then you send a unit on that quest. Each turn, the quest gains a resource token. This token is treated like a generic token and not a resource, so I guess they just wanted to use what tokens were at hand rather than create a whole new type of token for a small subset of cards. You can then activate abilities based on the number of tokens on the quest. If the questing unit leaves the quest, all tokens are removed and you must start anew.

The art is also odd, as instead of full color art like on regular cards, they instead use line art. The card background is a faded manuscript, so the idea is to make it look like the art was drawn on the ancient paper. There is nothing wrong with this, it's just another odd choice. As for the art on this card, I do like the belt of of faces.

I honestly like the flavor of this card. The dwarves in this set show a tendency toward self-destruction, seeking to destroy the enemy even if it costs their own lives. This card represents that mentality perfectly. The fact that it targets two units also gives it enough card advantage to justify the time spent completing the quest.
