Eydis Darkbane

Eydis Darkbane is a legendary neutral minion card, from the Grand Tournament set.

Strategy
Eydis Darkbane is best utilized by classes that have a lot of minion buffing cards (priest, paladin, druid).

In Paladin, Eydis performs best in Libram decks. By playing a large amount of Libram of Wisdom spells in a game, and playing Lady Liadrin with Eydis on the same turn later in the game, you can deal up to 30 damage in the perfect scenario (empty hand that gets filled with 0-Mana Libram of Wisdoms by Lady Liadrin). Even though the perfect scenario is rare, you can deal a significant amount of damage by utilizing those cards together.

 * Despite their obvious lore connection and significant card similarities (both 3 mana 3/4 legendary minions with very similar triggered effects), Eydis and Fjola Lightbane have no specific synergy, aside from both fitting well in decks with lots of spells that target friendly minions.
