Eclipse Herald slots into any green–Targon build as a late-game finisher with built-in synergy for stun-centric decks.
At 7 mana for a 7-power, 7-health Mount Targon Bird, it demands investment—but when you land a single stun, it storms the field ready to strike again.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
Eclipse Herald reads:
When you stun an enemy unit, ready me and give me +1|+1 this turn.
That trigger turns a one-off stun into a tempo windfall: stun, then swing back with your Herald as a freshly prepped attacker, now clocking in at 8/8 on first strike.
In decks featuring units like Starshaping Dancer or Celestial Conscript, that combo ensures your Targon payoff doesn’t sit tapped for another turn. It rewards stun-heavy lines and punishes opponents who lean on single big blockers.
Visuals
The art captures the mythic awe of a solar eclipse. Against a shattered mountaintop and a sky veiled in violet shadow, the Herald unfolds its golden wings in triumphant ascent.
Feathers blaze with pink and amber tones, mimicking the corona’s halo behind its horned helm.
The rocky crags below mirror the sky’s fractured light, grounding this celestial moment in rugged reality.
Every detail—the burnished armor plating, the drifting embers of light, the bird’s fierce, forward gaze—speaks to both nobility and raw power.
The painter’s dynamic lighting, with sunlight piercing through wing gaps, mirrors the card’s ability to pierce defenses and return to action.
It’s a visual promise: once you break through, you dominate the skies.
