<p>This card continues the initial thinking that the meta of Colony Wars is going to be speed. This card helps against early bases, as well as those Turn 1 Double Viper blues&#8230; We can also imagine this card having late game implications.</p>
<p>And now for the Big Daddy&#8230;</p>
<p><strong>THE PARASITE!</strong></p>

<p>There are <strong>no words</strong>. This card is a flexible, cheap bomb and a must buy. It works on ships AND bases. The Allied Draw ability is just overkill. What an incredible card to add to the Blob Arsenal!</p>
<p>Our Exclusive Preview of Colony Wars continues <strong>next week</strong>, so stay tuned!</p>
