| [Card Review] 6th card review from "SAGA" is WITCH. Cute manga art and impressive effect make this card bold. This can be one of the main character of "SAGA". It's, of course, in blue, drawing and hand fixing group. The most powerful timing for WITCH is when it's played as first move. You begin with 6 cards, played 1, then you'll have 8 cards. Average point per card is little less than 2, so WITCH will give you 6 points or around. If you have many big point cards in your initial hand, you can finish the game in first move. Even if you cannot finish in first turn, perhaps you can do in your next turn. Also, you may draw WITCH by playing WITCH, or play KNIGHT to return your own WITCH to play again. Anyway, if you play a few more turn, you will finish the game collecting cards in your hand. On the other hand, if a player played WITCH on early turn, every other player have to watch that player and disturb card-collecting. Basic strategy is THIEF for WITCH. Ordinarilly, card-collecter can finish the game earlyer than card-player. If you cannot finish the game soon, you have to discard the player who played WITCH. If you do it constantly, you can avoid many of other players' card-collecting finish. When long game goes, some player reach to fourty-something points. In this case, other players don't want to finish the game by playing, because it can give all players positive points. Even when you can finish the game, if any other player can reach to 50, that is meaningless. So WITCH can be good card in a short or long game. In the midgame or endgame, however, WITCH is a bad card to play. If you want to finish the game by play-all, it lets you two steps away from the goal. If the deck have few cards only, it can be a switch of time bomb. At that time, this card can be returned by KNIGHT or passed by BARD to disturb other players. But, you know, "SAGA" is a cardgame for collecting score, not just finishing. Even if you can finish the game, if you have only 1-point cards in you field, someone else can win the game. If you play WITCH and can play all of drawn cards on you next several turns, you can score 3 from WITCH and all points of drawn cards. WITCH can give you the big win ... sometime. |
