Upgrade line
Base form and its two upgrade options — the pair costs the same, so pick on strengths
Stats are compared against Lich: green is higher, red ▼ lower. A badged glyph is a power the base form does not have; a gold-ringed one is a power it has under the same name but with different rules.

Miasma is another form of eternal life — constantly shifting and changing, yet enduring. It’s no coincidence that deadly poisons and miraculous cures are often the same substance, administered in different amounts.
Perhaps life and death are not opposites, but two faces of one card.
