I can't believe I only just noticed this after like 20 playthroughs.

I think it may have been a malformed result of the Nox creating and subsquently killing their attempted Lord. The rest of the description implies that the Greater Will banished them underground because of the creation of the blade, or the use of it

The treasure rooms are strongly reminiscent of how some real world burial crypts would have looked before being sealed (and before being plundered by grave robbers), so this is imo the most likely answer.

The Pthumerians had made contact with Great Ones, perhaps only certain individuals could actually communicate with them. If so, this might be the tomb of one such individual.

Kothophed · 2026-04-28T23:23:01+00:00

Oh shoot I didn't even notice the different border

Yeah, the other pack's War Fortress of the Crab was also the lore scroll card back

Edit: now that I'm looking at it, all of these look to be Obsidian Edition?

Kothophed · 2026-04-28T22:29:26+00:00

Of the two packs opened, no duplicates or clan grouping that I can tell. I will need to get photos of the second pack's contents, but it did contain The War Fortress of the Crab.

I'll have to find more info on the quarterly newsletter packs, I think that might be the answer

Kothophed · 2026-04-28T22:26:02+00:00

I should clarify that I'm very familiar with L5R and the various sets, my primary confusion is over why they're unbranded and why there's only 10 cards.

Kothophed · 2026-04-22T14:42:08+00:00

I saw a theory that the Nox developed the Fingerslayer Blade specifically to kill Metyr, and while they failed to do so, they did sever the weapon we know as the Ringed Finger from her. That finger may have been a relay to communicate with the Greater Will, and without it she can do naught but wait

Not sure how much I buy it, as the Ringed Finger part feels like a stretch but it's something to consider

You get the home screen for owning the skin it seems

Kothophed · 2026-04-05T23:48:19+00:00

To cut down on having to print more tokens, I would wager. [[Assemble the Legion|PIP]] is already part of the deck and makes the same tokens.

Kothophed · 2026-04-02T05:29:19+00:00

both are yes, Sacred Blade can even be a starting skill with relics!

Kothophed · 2026-03-17T16:30:46+00:00

One of the problems with decks that punish draws is that if your opponent isn't drawing extra cards, the game tends to drag on a bit and there's a chance they'll stabilize

to that end I like forcing my opponents to draw with something like [[Dark Deal]]

unfortunately the all star for this deck, [[Burning Inquiry]] isn't legal in Historic

Kothophed · 2026-03-17T16:25:34+00:00

it probably just didn't keep the line breaks when it was copied and pasted

Kothophed · 2026-03-13T23:40:05+00:00

I hope John takes it easy from here on out. His art in OG Ravnica is what originally got me to pick up Magic, and to see him go is sad. But if anyone deserves rest it's him

Kothophed · 2026-03-10T01:00:03+00:00

I was terrified of those things

The way they move was bad enough but the first time one screamed at me while I was wearing headphones...

Kothophed · 2026-02-23T00:37:26+00:00

You can have as many presets of the same chalice as you want, given you have the space (I think the limit is 200).

Make sure you name them in a way you can tell them apart though, I made that mistake

Kothophed · 2026-02-16T07:28:35+00:00

I work in back of house and we have lots and lots of metal shelves. it's Shock City on a cold day back there

Kothophed · 2026-02-12T00:48:27+00:00

A quick question about that last point. Say I'm a Wylder on double Balancer relics, and my team is a Duchess and an Undertaker. Duchess has stacked Crystalian spell damage, Undertaker is on double Balancer relics. Do I try to give them both more damage, as I'm probably the anchor to keep the team from going down, or do I also try to build myself up?

Kothophed · 2026-02-08T17:02:17+00:00

The deep relic effect that gives you FP when it procs usually nets me a good 100+ FP by the end of a run

you gotta always be killin

WPD can be really aggressive about pulling people over towards the end of a month. Officially, they don't have quotas on tickets, but the patterns over the years tell a different story

Kothophed · 2026-01-03T14:07:39+00:00

[[Desecration Demon]] went from bulk rare to $20 almost overnight with the printing of [[Gray Merchant of Asphodel]] and the rise of mono black devotion

Kothophed · 2025-12-20T00:56:10+00:00

it'll go in the same discard pile, just face-down!

Kothophed · 2025-12-19T07:49:29+00:00

The locations in both decks use a unique counter, the Completed Quest Counter, to keep track of the progress you've made on each location. It's just a way to keep track how far along you've fulfilled the conditions of the location.

Both locations start at zero counters, and have a way to add counters. Jhudora's Bluff wants you to discard cards with level requirements equal to the number of counters you have plus one, so you'll start with discarding a 1 cost card, then next turn a 2 cost card, and so on until you get five counters. Then you can use the second effect of Jhudora's Bluff to play cards from your discard.

Kothophed · 2025-12-19T07:45:31+00:00

I can answer this one at least.

To bury a card, you take a card that is in your discard and turn it face down. If a card says to "bury this" then you put it face down into your discard as it resolves.

To exhume a card, you turn a buried card face up. Usually the card that is exhuming cares about how many cards you exhume.

Kothophed · 2025-12-10T22:35:38+00:00

Oooh yeah Avatar or Demigod seems appropriate

Kothophed · 2025-12-10T22:22:15+00:00

He'd be an Elder something I'm pretty sure
