Name: Scorchers
Tier & Orbs: T2, Fire Any
Type: Unit
Power: 50
Hit points and Size: 480 S
Attack value and Type: 660 ranged S
Attack Effects:
Every 2 seconds, unit fires bolts at enemies that deal 11 damage. The bolts sear the target, reducing any healing it receives by 60% and causing any Ice Shield on them to melt down by 20 points per second. Lasts for 3 seconds. (Repeated attacks will refresh the duration but not stack the effect)
Explanation of idea behind the card: At T2, Pure Fire, Fire/Frost and Fire/Nature all lack a s/s unit. Taking that into consideration and how reliant fire is on gladiatrix I decided to create a T2 s/s archer. When thinking about what ability it should have I decided it'd be nice to have something that was good against shielding and healing, both things which fire may struggle with sometimes (I do not consider global warming a good option as it does nothing vs non frost decks). To avoid it being too strong the effect only lasts 3s, meaning if you run away for a short while you can use a heal at full power. In addition the unit is also vulnerable to knockbacks (easy for frost and nature to do) and has a small healthpool.

Passive abilities:
Slow. (forgot about it in the card image)
Every 10 seconds, unit teleports the enemy unit that has moved farthest away back to itself. Has a range of 30m. Affected units are immune to this ability for 10 seconds. (This ability starts on CD)
Explanation of idea behind the card: Both Pure Shadow and Shadow/Frost lack a small unit with medium counter at T2. Thinking of filling that slot I decided to make an unit that could teleport others to itself, much like Stone of Torment. Having such an ability it needed to be slow to allow for enemies to stay away or run away after caught, as well as an immunity period to avoid multiple triggers from an army of these. The unit would be able to force enemy archers close but the ability would start on CD so you can't just abuse it on spawn.
