Myrtle Review: The Harried Herbalist Who Poisons Your Patience

"Myrtle has arrived in the Woodland Faun family with a watering can and a vengeance. This 4-star nature monk brings a unique delayed poison mechanic and enhanced defense down, but can she survive in a meta dominated by Toons and Glass heroes? We dig into the dirt to see if she's worth cultivating or if she belongs on the compost heap."
