When that magic wavers and ebbs, as it inevitably will, it's immensely difficult to keep one 'alive' and in one piece.

Where these numbers come from
Read from the game's database tables for patch 9.0.4 (main_units, land_units, battle_entities, melee_weapons, projectiles…) as published in the WH3-Dump export (commit 099796e8). Formulas that turn table values into card values are checked against known units before they are shown — how we verify.
