GAME USE: THE COST DESTROYER FOR BLACKBEARD PIRATES SUPREMACY 

A TACTICAL WEAPON for Blackbeard Pirates and Black-focused decks! At 6000 power, Van Augur is a SERIOUS BOARD PRESENCE, but his real value is the −3 cost effect! Pair him with Doc Q (K.O. cost 1 or less) and Jack (K.O. cost 2 or less) and you have a COMBO THAT EATS OPPONENTS ALIVE! Reduce their 5-cost ace to a 2-cost target, then WIPE IT OFF THE BOARD! The [On K.O.] draw ensures you're never punished for losing him — he's a DISPOSABLE TOOL that always pays you back! A TOURNAMENT STAPLE in the Black Teach package!
