Creature Information

It's Vidav's personal quest to bring peace and harmony to Perim once more. He has tried to get the leaders of Perim to negotiate a peace treaty, but his efforts have failed. Even though he is against war, Vidav sometimes finds it necessary to assist his fellow OverWorlders in keeping their homeland safe. By serving as a Strategist to Maxxor, Vidav focuses on keeping his Tribe members safe from harm, not on harming his opponents.

During the M'arrillian Invasion, Vidav became an adviser to the Dryland Generals. He learned to give any creature the ability to act as a member of any tribe making him a important member of the tribal alliance.

Appearance

Most of the time, Vidav wears a long, blue robe. Underneath the robe, he is covered in snow-white fur with black stripes, but few ever see more of Vidav than his grave, yet friendly face. He bears a resemblance to a Siberian tiger.

Personality

Vidav is mostly known for his great wisdom. He is also quite helpful to his fellow Overworlders and is not hostile towards humans like most Creatures. A good example of his kindness is seen in Allmageddon.

Connections

Affiliations, Loyalties and Allies

He is loyal to the Overworld. He is good friends with Hoton. He is/was also loyal to the Dryland Tribe during the M'arrillian Invasion.

Enemies

He has no real enemies as he is a peaceful creature that never fights.

Strategies

Vidav is incredibly useful in the back. His ability allows him to heal 15 energy for one mugician. This allows him to surpass Donmar, Owis, and even Maxxor in the healing department. A Mipedian Balladeers’ Flute or Mugician's Lyre can help him give an additional mugician so that he may use his ability thrice.

Vidav, Master Strategist, can change tribal loyalties, meaning that you can let them cast mugic from multiple tribes. Can also be benificial when you're using cards like Opus Opposed which scale with multitribes.

Master Strategist Specific

This effect only lasts until the End of the Turn.
The effect does not remove the innate tribe of the target.
Tribeless and Generic are not valid "Tribes".

Allmageddon

Vidav greets Tom and friends when they arrive at Hoton's ruined village. Taking them to a fire, he explains what happened to the village. He says Hoton's village was destroyed by UnderWorld raiders, and in anger Hoton sought out the Allmageddon spell, an attack which obliterates everything in its path. When the raiders return, Hoton killed them and, not realizing the potency of the spell, his entire village in the process.

Afterwards, Vidav instructs the players to warn any creature who will listen of Allmageddon and similar spells.

At the end of the episode, Vidav is seen comforting Hoton in the village ruins.

Hotekk's Challenge, Part 1

Vidav is briefly seen using mugic to restore Hoton's strength in Castle Bodran during Tom's flashbacks.

Trivia

This first version of Vidav is ironically low in wisdom, considering the many references to his wisdom; the second Vidav variant, Master Strategist, is much more accurate to his lore.
