The main strength of the Shadow Isles Region is the ability to use the Last Breath keyword. During the game you will have to sacrifice your own units in order to summon others minions or gain additional bonuses to the statistics.
- Last Breath - A keyword that is triggered when a unit dies. For example, the Cursed Keeper has a 1/1 stats and can't block so you won't use it against an attacking enemy unit.
