Saronite Chain Gang

Saronite Chain Gang is a rare neutral minion card, from the Knights of the Frozen Throne set.

Strategy
This minion is a 4/6 Taunt split between two minions, which has its advantage of having its health spread over two hits and having an extra body on board, at the cost of increased vulnerability against AoE.

Its Taunt characteristic also gives it great synergy with Strongshell Scavenger or Bolster.

Like Doppelgangster, this minion and the copy it summons make it a great fit for Evolve decks.
