A reference to the fate of Narcissus, for whom the track and project are named after. Sean Leon is so lost in his own self perception that he appears hidden to the rest of the world much like Narcissus. In other words, hes beyond rescue.
Keep reading for a short background on Narcissus!
Narcissus was an ancient hunter in Greek mythology whose name is the origin for the word narcissism. He was renowned for his beauty and because of this he became extremely self-absorbed in his own appearance and eventually grew to disdain those who praised him, viewing them as unworthy of his beauty.
Because of this, Nemesis, the Greek god of divine retribution lured him to a pool where he saw his own reflection. There he fell in love with himself and was unable to leave the pool and his own image. He died staring into his own eyes.
With all the sexual references throughout the verse, song and mixtape it also takes on another more primal meaning: he is so deep inside of the girl, alluding to intercourse.
Truly an ace in the hole, this card can create a massive threat on the field, especially when combined with the other damage cards on the field. I recommend throwing this card onto a monster in its attack phase if it has at least 6 or more damage and a clear lane of fire. With such a massive create on the board so suddenly, the outcome of the game basically depends on how quickly your opponent can wipe it off the board.
A great card to create some early damage while restoring health, the Truesilver Champion can create a strong early threat in your Hero. Its important to remember that the healing done by this card is added to the hero BEFORE the attack, so any damage sustained after the hit is taken, so if you are at 30 health you won’t get any of the health you may of lost on the attack back!
A strong card to move an enemy off the board, this card’s damage alone is a great addition to the deck. With its added benefit of an extra card added to your hand it can also add create yet another threat on the field come next turn.
The only AOE damage spell in the deck, this should be used only under extreme circumstances. It can help to destroy an opposing zerg wave or to clear out an opposition before starting an attack. Wait for the right moment to use this card as wasting it can come back to bite you later!
Along with the numerous other buffs in the build, the Blessing of Kings is by far one of the strongest. It can turn an otherwise defenseless minion into a great threat and combined with Blessed Champion it can create a monster of nightmarish proportions.
The Sword of Justice can help early game to create an army of threatening units. The next 5 minions summoned to the field will have an addition 1 health and armor. This works for all minions including the ones summoned from your Hero power. Along with the pirates it can create a strong force early game.
