How does this card address a compelling game need?: An inflation in the pervasiveness of Strike: Combat Ends cards may have rendered combat somewhat less interesting, outside of Immortal Grapple-based counter strategies. This affects among others the once very effective Animalism combat. The superior effect of Plague of Beasts could provide a different, alternative way to make playing dodge or combat ends a little more "risky", while the inferior duplicates an easy-to-cycle effect within the Animalism theme (see e.g. Canine Horde).
