Grave Warden

Gain 8 Block. Add a Soul into your Draw Pile.

Grave Warden is a common Necrobinder skill that provides Summon effects alongside defensive Block generation. This dual-purpose card supports both the Osty/Summon archetype and general survivability.

Grave Warden works alongside Invoke for consistent Osty reinforcement and pairs with Sacrifice for the build-up/cash-in Osty strategy. Bone Shards requires a healthy Osty for AoE damage, and Grave Warden ensures Osty stays alive for repeated AoE attacks. In Doom builds, a healthy Osty absorbs damage while Blight Strike and Death March stack Doom.

Grave Warden is a premium common for the Necrobinder, providing both defensive Block and Osty reinforcement in a single card. Against bosses like The Insatiable that deal sustained damage, the Block plus Summon keeps both you and Osty healthy. The Necrobinder's common card pool includes several strong options, and Grave Warden is among the best for general-purpose deck building.
