Void Binding is an Umbra Card in Monster Train. It is a spell in the Umbra clan.
Lore[]
When Void shards were first found, they were considered to be of little value. So, they were collected and dumped to the depths of the Crucible. Later, the Umbra and I found that the shards can mimic the effects of any nearby gems, making them incredibly useful tools if bound directly to the body.
Strategy[]
Void Binding gives a unit several powerful benefits at the expense of inflicting the Emberdrain effect on that unit, crippling your on future turns unless the unit dies. If not managed well, this can easily outweigh the benefits of this card.
If you do not have any synergies with Void Binding, it can be moderately useful as a booster spell for Morsels to make one able to soak up two extra hits and possibly hit for 12 extra damage before being eaten, negating the drawback of the Emberdrain effect.
This card is at its best when you are able to manage the Emberdrain debuff by building around it and other Emberdrain cards, either using Perils of Production or by aggressively reducing the cost of this card and other cards in the deck to 0.
