With a Gold token in play, Olympia can cash it in for a new card. Ideally, he&#8217;ll use a blue pitch card on the Gold to leave himself one resource floating. If he can do that again with another blue, then he&#8217;s cycled two cards and effectively activated an <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Energy Potion\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Energy Potion<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> that he never needed to play.<\/p>\r\n<p>To pull off this advantage, Olympia needs to run blues and win wagers whenever possible.<\/p>\r\n<p>In a draft, he should have his pick of blue Warrior cards since Kassai is incentivized from her hero ability to pick up reds and yellows.<\/p>\r\n<div class=\"edhrecp__cards\"><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Wage Vigor red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Wage Gold red\"><\/div><div class=\"edhrecp__card-container\" name=\"Wage Agility red\"><\/div><\/div>\r\n<p>He&#8217;ll need the extra blues to pay for the suite of Wage attacks.

So let&#8217;s explore how the prized fighter can exploit the second best of the three incredible tokens of\u00a0<em>Heavy Hitters:<\/em>\u00a0<span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Vigor\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Vigor<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\r\n<p>One Vigor token from <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Vigor Girth\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Vigor Girth<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> or other means brings Olympia a single resource away from drawing a card from a Gold piece. Olympia can lean on Vigor tokens to fix all-red hands or pile up as many resources as possible to pump an attack action or prepare an onslaught of attack reactions from his blade.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<p>With the potential of extra resources, Olympia is primed to up the ante with pumps and attack reactions. If you&#8217;re able to pull a <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Hot Streak\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Hot Streak<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span> and get some wager pump in front of it like <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Money Where Ya Mouth Is red\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Money Where Ya Mouth Is<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>, your opponent may feel forced into blocking with some attack actions and giving you go again.<\/p>\r\n<p>Then there&#8217;s Olympia&#8217;s specialization helm, <span class=\"edhrecp__link\"><a class=\"edhrecp__link-a\" content=\"Prized Galea\"href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\">Prized Galea<\/a><span class=\"edhrecp__link-image\"><\/span><\/span>. Since\u00a0<em>Heavy Hitters<\/em> doesn&#8217;t include any defense reactions, Olympia can pick the perfect time\u00a0wager a Gold. Tossing his helmet aside with a flurry of steel is a flashy move. The crowd rewards such feats of valor and skill with a golden shower (notably one of the few innuendos LSS left out of the set).<\/p>\r\n<h3>More <em>Heavy Hitters<\/em> reviews:<\/h3>\r\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/the-best-heavy-hitters-cards-for-commoner\/\">The Best Heavy Hitters Cards for Commoner<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/heavy-hitters-set-review-generics-and-the-expansion-slot\/\">Heavy Hitters Set Review &#8211; Generics and the Expansion Slot<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/fabrec.gg\/articles\/heavy-hitters-set-review-brute\/\">Heavy Hitters Set Review &#8211; Brute<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our Heavy Hitters reviews continue with the Warrior class.
