Shriveled Bones

This positive pump is priced efficiently, dealing 1 XDMG on level 1. For 2 CP, that is good. However, the two drawbacks are: you can only play it on a wounded gladiator (not a big deal) and you have to be able to hit the pumped character. You might think, how hard is that. But if you play a narrow strategy like hit that one gladiator there, your opponent can protect or intercept those attacks. Even at that it might be considered good, but you’ll be able to do more if you combine it with cards that penetrate the protector like Projectile Spines, Contagion, Stealth Attack, Electro Spear, and The Sweeper or cards that hurt the interceptor like Pestilence and Dripping Leak.
