How to play it
- Kale has no Defender, and untapped entities can't be attacked, so Carapace mostly matters against sweeps. A 2-damage hit to every entity leaves Kale alive.
- After Kale attacks it stays tapped, but the opponent needs 3 attack to destroy it, so it is a safer trader than other 3-cost bodies.
- Stonehaven Gate can give it Defender, since its base health is 2. When it blocks, Oathstone stacks to Carapace 2, so a 2-attack attacker deals nothing.
