Best fit Affliction How to use it Use Polaris Horseman of Pestilence in Affliction shells where its text or stat line advances the deck's main plan instead of forcing a standalone include. Common mistake The common mistake is jamming Polaris Horseman of Pestilence into decks that do not naturally support its role; the card gets much better when the surrounding deck already wants this effect. Token advice Hold tokens until the sample size and meta role are clearer. Source: 3 linked ItsGuestGaming article mention(s) found.
