| My votes for top ten CP units;
1st; Aviax Firebrand - WarCry is awesome.
2nd; Octorilla - Brainblast-5 and a DHC.
3rd-10th in no particular order;
Tower of Unquenched Flame - Skipping a spawn phase is always bad. Sometimes it's fatal.
Toxic Sludger, Hazardin Grenadier, Arsonist - All current Top warbands use locations
Backalley Skuntch - Use a Cyclopean sprite to get an early lead, and Backalley Skuntch to stop your opponent recovering.
Tatooed Squashbug - Spawn creatures with the ability you want, where they work best (e.g. Backalley Skuntch)
Slaughterwheel - Deathrip lets you create some surprising combos (e.g. B:Skirmish-2 without the liability of Defender)
Queen Chrysota - Sometimes the whole game gets wrecked by bad luck on a combat roll. If you have a hiveling in the combat, you can reroll.

Don't worry about the current metagame. It doesn't matter if it's ugly, bad, or the best ever. In 2 years time, set rotation will ban everything. | |

| | Queen Chrysota isn't AS useful, since it is all or nothing. Sure, if you have a terrible roll it's a no-brainer. But if you are a point of damage or two off, or you really need one more blade...well, rerolling all the dice is a risky proposition. I would put Little Charmer in her place on the list. | | | |

| Here are my Top 10:
1. Aviax Firebrand (As noted, warcry rocks.)
2. Tower of Unquenched Flame (Almost everything the Heart Thief should have been. A great way to avoid skipped spawns without all of the cost and weaknesses of the Heart Thief.)
3. Succulent Creeper (Another great 3 drop. Allows lure for bands that just want to splash passion for HBT)
4. Pearlthorne Dragon Knight (A great pro- and anti- Kitsune piece. Should become a TGS staple.)
5. Probability Walker (Low base stats but an excellent, game bending blade ability. Very scary.)
6. Octorilla (Just the titan that Madness needed to pull the aspect together.)
7. Thrice Crowned Androgyne (Awesome blade ability, allows you to effectively threaten multiple cells with your large power alpha strike group.)
8. Baba Yaga's Hut (A very interesting denial/turn winning piece.)
9. Ropestrung Scarecrow (I've wanted multi-blade scare for awhile. It has the base stats to make it work, too.)
10. Seraph (Less then great base stats but a really nice multi-blade ability for a 3 drop.)

| | Gotta agree with whats been said, though I believe the World Eater should be in there somewhere. Sure, its a mini Ragedrake but its cheaper and 1 blade triggers both abilities. | | | |

| | My list will pretty much match Jesse's. The only tweak would be to have Infernal Preacher somewhere in between 4-6. From playing him in sealed, he's a wrecking ball. In constructed he's got game against Kitsune (hitting 4 50% of the time) and devistating against Temple bands, putting a lot of hurt into their scarabs, clawclans, and pariahs. It also should singlehandedly destroy Mono madness in that match up, which could be important if people start getting their weenie swarm octorilla bands working. | |
