I have a minion card that requires 3 pips but I can't figure out how to use it. HELP!
Have you tried to cast it? just think of it as a friend you invited to help out. Mine get a case of lazy butt and passes too much. does that on most of my wizards so I don't use it often.
When you have 3 pips (either 3 white pips, or 1 white pip and 1 yellow powerpip), select the card. It does not require you to select a target, so clicking on the card once will do the trick. That round, when it is your turn, your minion will appear. The next round, he will take part in the battle. You can not control what the minion does.
Place it as a card in your deck. Cast if you desire a minion to help.
Two warnings:
1) You can only have one minion at a time. If you cast a second, the first goes away.
2) Each minion has a 'special' way of acting. Try your minion out in a place that isn't real dangerous to decide how to interact with your minion, and if you wish to use the spell.
