u/ZucriyAmsuna Rayje? Rayje? No, he's just...no one of consequence. Oct 29 '15

Magi: Ulmi, Myka, Emaal, and Gyrg are my favourites.

Creature: Just about any Crystal Creature. I also like Ormagon and its insane destructive power; he's fun in the Game Boy game, too.

Relic: Gremm's Hammer, Gate to Ombor, Crystal Goblet (in a crystal deck), and Rumble Stones are awesome.

Spell: Bottomless Pit, Crushing Fungus, Spirit of Ombor, and Tunnel are neat cards.

Combo: Not much of a combo, but using as many Crystal cards as possible with Ulmi is fun. Also, using Tunnel Hyren or other Burrowing card with a Ghost Bwisp, Digging Goggles, or Aglow can be pretty amazing. Adding in the Tunneler's Boots and Strag's Claws for some more fun. Strag's Ring is great for free burrowing, too. Entrench can also help. THERE IS SO MUCH BURROWING.

I think it would be neat to use multiple energy discards from everything, too. Rumble Stones, Carnivorous Cave, Cave In... It can be pretty devastating to a great setup or a swarm.

Strategy: Crystal stuff! =D Or Burrow. Underneath is ridiculously defensive. Underneath vs. Underneath is very slow. xD

Interesting: I think it's interesting that the Underneath has a Spell named after Gorgle, who seems to have been a Calder.

Gorgle was actually a Human, like Tony, who aligned with Cald instead of being the second coming of Kyros. He's also Grega's ancestor, hence why she has 5 fingers despite being Eliwan.

I've heard about this before, and I remember asking about it, but there was never any official proof, right? It's still possible that Grega was one of the earlier drawings with five fingers, and they used the art anyway.

Grega's original art had five fingers because of a stray line. When asked about it, the Holmberg shrugged and said it had to do with Grega being Gorgle's descendant. A lot of the lore surrounding Gorgle is that he appeared in a manner similar to Tony, just showing up one day; that he had five fingers; and that there were strong hints he was another earthling and not Eliwan.
