One card that he is not impressed with is crown of dominion, which he feels just doesn't offer enough value for the cost of being a royal.
• 00:10:00 The new Light Warrior legendary, Spirit of Arena, has a number of powerful effects, most notably the ability to generate an action point through charging the card, rather than spending a card from one's soul. This could potentially make it more powerful in PvP than in PvE, and may be an interesting card to consider in Raiden.
• 00:15:00 The video discusses how the new card Savage Beatdown can deal a lot of damage if you have cards in your hand with six or more power. It also discusses how Reiner, a hero with a lot of sixes in his discard pile, can easily deal with decks that rely on this.
