Fjola Lightbane

Fjola Lightbane is a legendary neutral minion card, from the Grand Tournament set.

Strategy
Strong with classes that have a lot of minion buffing cards (priest, paladin, druid). A potentially good target for Spare Parts buffs.

One of the stronger combos is Fjola Lightbane + Mark of the Wild, yielding a 5/6 minion with Taunt and Divine Shield for only 5 mana &mdash; effectively a stronger and cheaper Sunwalker, at the cost of burning an extra card.
