Although originally appearing in Everfest, Iyslander’s official Classic Constructed debut was in Uprising on June 24th 2022. The lone Ice hero caught between two Draconic siblings, Iyslander would come to face her fiery foes many times at Premier tournaments. Her extremely potent instant-speed disruption kept aggressive heroes at bay, while also utilizing the slow encroaching cold of Frost Hex to combat control heroes.
Iyslander reached her highest peak at the 2022 World Championship, where Michael Hamilton piloted her all the way to first place with an innovative build using overlooked cards like Wounded Bull. The ability to threaten large chunks of damage to force the opponent to give up crucially valuable resources or risk their life dropping into lethal range proved to be extremely effective, and would set the popular standard for Iyslander decks moving forward. While her popularity tended to wax and wane, she remained a constant threat in the metagame, defining how other heroes would build their decks. The Elemental Wizard nearly went two for two at the 2023 World Championship, piloted to second place by Shing Tsang.
Iyslander, Stormbind officially reached Living Legend status in Classic Constructed on December 1st 2023. Congratulations to all the players who wrapped Rathe in the chilling grasp of Winter. Your names will bring a shiver to the spine for generations, proudly displayed in the Roll of Honor!
