Skull Warrior

Every man's one true wish is to die honorably. Don't deny it; nobody wants to die in a miserable or pathetic fashion. The desire to die fighting and valiant to the very last breath is the spirit of the samurai, those ancient warriors of Japan's feudal times. Needless to say, Skull Warriors imitate this same kind of fighting style by putting everything on the line. In exchange for good abilities and above-average stats, the warriors that do get this bonus are often sacrificed at the end of the turn. It's alright, however, since their sacrifices are not in vain. There are multiple support cards for Skull Warriors that mitigate or completely reverse the "handicap" of being destroyed. They can also come back to life, truly living up to their name.

On a whole, Skull Warriors are strong at rushing, but their rushes are of a somewhat different tone than the traditional rush. Instead of rushing to end the game or push damage, Skull Warriors rush in order to gain field control and hand advantage. Because of awkward logistical problems with size limits and certain on-hit effects, Skull Warriors are hard-pressed to create explosive turns and thus must use a combined strategy of force and cunning to maneuver their opponents into disadvantage.
