Here's two questions for you seasoned veterans: Is FSOD a Skink Chief or a Skink Priest? & is JSOD a Scar-Vet or an Oldblood?
FSoD is a Skink Chief geared with cloak of feathers, and usually two hand weapons or sword of might JSoD can be either really but usually is a Scar Vet, for the JSoD is meant to be cheap and disposable, although I've made some that were not so cheap that succeded.
Used a FSoD and held Morathi in 4 rounds, so yeah, It can bee a rather nasty supprise to see a Saurus jumping at you with demonic speed
No one brings chiefs just for their killing power. If you see a skink chief on the board it is assumed to be able to fly and people plan their strategy around that. I never catch someone off guard by his flying ability.
