Ceorl is probably one of the most interesting targets for Messenger of the King in multiplayer, because he is the only unique ally that can change controler.
That means you can permanently (no Desperate Alliance limitation) give a hero to another player, and open possibilities for both decks.
-
Deck A, Messenger of the King initial deck, has now only two heroes. Perfect for Strider or Vanish from Sight, both beeing cards and playable with every sphere combination.
-
(MotK) Ceorl is only 5 threat, Deck A could have started in Secrecy. Resourceful must be attached to an hero you control, but with Ceorl you can give the benefits of Resourceful to another player.
-
Deck B has now an extra hero, wich can lead to some Forth, The Three Hunters!, Fellowship or Tome of Atanatar optimisations. Another example is Deck B playing Reinforcements with only 2 heroes.
If you like tinkering and strange deckbuildings, (MotK) Ceorl is for you.
Take a look at the decks already featuring (MotK) Ceorl !
