Power: 4 | Speed: 4 | Rarity: Common | World Region: The Storm Reaches
Origins: Storm Hound is Lightning's Common 4/4 – the maximum stat line, the natural lead card, and the most direct expression of what the Lightning affinity does at this tier. The Storm Reaches are perpetually active with electrical storms, and Storm Hound has been running through them since before it had a tactical reason to. A card that wins rounds through maximum stats deployed with the confidence of something that has never needed a plan beyond 'faster and harder'.
Finishing Move: Storm Rush: Sprints through active storm conditions at maximum Speed – the electrical field around it builds as it runs and releases on contact. 4 Power charged by the full Storm Reaches delivers considerably more than 4.
Synergy & Rivalry: The headline Common for any Lightning deck. Earth's Grove Hound is its 4/4 peer – same maximum stat line at Common tier, completely different tactical philosophy, and an ongoing argument about whether electrical momentum or ground-anchored authority is the more valuable 4/4 trait.
