Introduction

Warsaken battles are decided by timing and control. Lasting Blizzard and Push Through form a powerful pairing that locks down enemy forces and then frees your own for a decisive strike. This article breaks down their abilities, tactical interplay, and deck-building tips to maximize battlefield control.

Breakdown of Card Abilities

Lasting Blizzard: Weather Control

Lasting Blizzard is a Rank 1 Snow Weather card with no cost aside from its inherent drawback. It serves as an effective board lockdown tool by imposing a universal restriction on force actions.

The card’s ability is stated clearly as follows:

* Forces can’t attack or block.

This effect freezes every force on the board, stalling aggressive plays and buying valuable setup turns. It works well against decks that rely on rapid attacks or overwhelming board presence.

Push Through: Tactical Liberation

Push Through is a Rank 1 Morale card with a modest generic cost and two impactful abilities designed to counter the blanket effect of weather cards.

Key abilities of Push Through include:

-1-TURNS : MORALE
Triggered mechanic. Adds or subtracts (X) Morale to your legion. Morale can never fall below zero.

GRIT Weather can no longer affect your cards this turn.
Fixed rule. Weather cards don’t affect your cards this turn. This will only apply after the point that the card with this mechanic triggers this mechanic. If the weather card in the war zone prevented resources from being produced they will now produce.

This ability allows a turn of liberation. While Lasting Blizzard freezes all forces, Push Through lets your cards ignore weather effects when it matters most.

Tactical Interplay and Deck Building

When Lasting Blizzard blankets the war zone, enemy forces—and unfortunately your own—are locked from attacking or blocking. In response, playing Push Through disables weather effects on your cards for that turn, restoring their capability to strike or defend.

This freeze-and-strike approach offers a strong blend of defense and offense. Deploy Lasting Blizzard to stall enemy momentum, then activate Push Through on a crucial turn to free your forces while the opponent remains stalled.

In a standard 65-card deck featuring 4 copies of each card, the odds are roughly 6.2% to draw a specific card in your opening hand, and approximately an 11.7% chance to draw at least one instance of either card in your opening seven cards. Running 4 copies maximizes consistency and ensures these key plays occur early to mid-game.

Conclusion

Combining Lasting Blizzard and Push Through delivers dynamic control over the battlefield. Lock down enemy forces with Lasting Blizzard and then time the liberation of your own with Push Through for a powerful strike. This balanced strategy helps secure critical turns and can shift the momentum of any match.
