Proxy War and Heavy Duty Defenders of the Faith

 Yvraine is a stranger warlord than usual, because of its ability to create battles in places where none should exist. Rewarding some next level strategy thinking, it offers some very interesting options to try and take an opponent by surprise.

The theme for Canoness Vardina deck was an 'angels riding tanks' thing, coming out of the Defenders of the Faith expansion. I can't look at that title and not think of the classic Judas Priest album and song. Since Defenders of the Faith (the song) is tied into the song Heavy Duty, having tanks involved just felt correct.
