We've got a new champion reveal today for Beyond the Bandlewood and its Yuumi! Watch the official video and see the new cards down below.
Play me on an ally to give it my stats and keywords while I'm attached. When that ally leaves play, recall me.

Attach: Double-Attack, as well as Attach: Elusive -- both of those are definitely going to be abused. I don't know yet how exactly, but they will be.
Continuing the trend of Bandle City having infinite value, their unit buffs get returned back to their hand when the buffed unit dies, gets captured, etc. Yuumi in particular looks incredibly obnoxious: She's cheap, she's strong, and from what I can tell it's literally impossible to get rid of her for good.
I think these cards are really strong. They work with handbuff and Gleaming Lantern reduces their cost. They're also not counterable since they're more like a Focus-speed card that passes priority. That means that no matter what you get the buff on the unit which is a pretty good tradeoff for not being able to use spell mana.
Also, Silence and Transforms doesn't affect Attach.

PRAISE TARGON! This is what Magnetic should've been in Hearthstone!
I don't know but my magnetic paladin was good enough to make me not call it a failed mechanic tho
Never said it failed, hell, it's among my favorite mechanics in card games, up there with slivers/survivors. it just felt kinda vulnerable.
Attach however feels too forgiving/ hard to counter.
Like the way it works attach can't be countered by any mechanic in the game.
It might very well be too slow and fail because of that but this design is kinda bad aswell (because mechanics like these are supposed to have clear counters)
So we got Yuumi together with the LoR version of magnetics?
Did you riot have to attach (no pun intended) my favourite mechanic from Hearthstone to league's most obnoxious champion?
Yeah and when you think about it, it's also like the Libram of Wisdom and gives pretty much infinite value.
A lot of these attachment fae are egregiously over costed and due to that I don't really see any of them being played beyond Yuumi herself and maybe quick quill...but you have to remember that none of these get to be played as combat tricks. They don't get to be played mid combat or something like that. The fact that you get the buff back in hand is a definite upside but the tempo loss if you buff a unit and then have it killed with a spell or even silenced is pretty intense.
Glorious news: Silence doesn't affect them!
Really? Huh, that is interesting then....and mildly concerning.
Man she look just as obnoxious as her league counterpart 10/10.
On more serious note Wounded Whiteflame definitely need some adjustment now, that thing was already nigh-impossible to kill without hard removal.
I don't think this makes Whiteflame decks much better. Wounded Whiteflame already grows fast enough and outgrows pretty much anything. The deck needs help against recalls, stuns, and wide boards - attach doesn't help with that at all, and in fact is weak to the same things!
