The short answer
Academy discussion notes that even a little reclaim on a commander corpse can deny a resurrection opportunity.
That makes corpse control an important part of tempo and denial play.
Why this matters
- A wreck is not neutral. It is a future resource, a future unit, or both.
- Leaving key corpses untouched can hand back value the opponent should have lost.
- Denying that value can matter as much as winning the fight itself.
What a player should actually do
- Reclaim critical wrecks early if the player cannot protect them.
- Prioritize denial on commander or high-impact unit corpses.
- Assume the opponent is thinking about the wreck field too.
Common mistake
The common mistake is celebrating the kill while leaving the value behind for later recovery.
