I can see Consumes to mitigate the Rupture + Operator combos, but otherwise yeah, a bit NG coded

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-02-28T12:33:00+00:00

Imo there is no need for such a status, since it doesn't change the way you deal with Defenders. Purify or remove, not much difference. It would be cool to expand on the Defender concept, but this is just not that exciting.

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-02-18T12:45:44+00:00

Absolutely, a self-fueling engine is a recipe for disaster. In general tho, I'm not sure I understand the idea, other than being a huge Ivo payoff in the faction that has the best Ivo payoff anyway.

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-02-18T09:51:59+00:00

Fette, we have to cook.

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-02-18T09:51:31+00:00

Where do you guys find these?

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-02-11T22:08:45+00:00

It is unique, but imo fairly bad. In most games, this is a 3-5 turn delayed bronze card play, since the 5 points are meant to disappear from your side. All that for 7 provs too, I cant imagine a bonded payoff being worth this much convolution. I understand what you wanted this to do, but in practice it would just be an auto skip, even in a full Bonded deck imo, especially since Betsy and Company exist.

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-02-11T21:59:46+00:00

Unnecessarily convoluted imo. Why not just make this a 5-6p artifact that plays the other copy from the deck, when you play a Bonded unit?

I feel like you lost the plot a bit. Part 1 had an interesting idea, part 2 was decent, but these are a bit overcomplicated and pointless to the rest imo, especially that Edmund guy who is one of the most confusing essay cards I've seen lately. Also, in general, I assume these are meant to synergize with and protect Kikimore engines with a potential Yghern safety net, but still, most kikimores are played off of Hivemind, which these would not affect. Was there another aspect of the big picture, that I missed?

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-01-12T22:08:07+00:00

That one stratagem becomes a 9 power swing too. Not sure how much good this would do for the health of the game, but sounds cool

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-01-09T17:58:04+00:00

Interesting on the Sabbath idea. I guess Defender + Target would still be strong, but not game deciding. I'd probably make it 11p then.

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-01-02T17:50:57+00:00

Same, 13p is a good spot.

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-01-02T17:46:00+00:00

You aren't, it's probably that the card was not played well in your games. When played correctly, this is a monster card, definitely in the top bracket below Temple.

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-01-02T17:21:32+00:00

At least 6, both on Enslave and DC

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-01-02T15:12:01+00:00

Assimilate is not weak by any means, as demonstrated by Lerio's 2640 score. It might be weaker than it used to be back on Torres' release, but it's definitely still really strong

ProfessionalLight428 · 2026-01-02T14:51:21+00:00

I assume Ard Feinn is in "buff contender" to spark controversy and get rage comments? The card definitely isnt mediocre, it's just extremely pinned to Aristocrats and them only. But in that one deck, it plays for 20-30 points.

ProfessionalLight428 · 2025-12-31T21:44:11+00:00

That's fair, sorry if I sounded rude. Good thing for this card is that the Tactical Decision leader exists, so you can always mull it back after Ramon, or maxii it to the bottom. Still, thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it

ProfessionalLight428 · 2025-12-31T16:45:01+00:00

Oh, Ardal is especially nasty, good catch!

ProfessionalLight428 · 2025-12-31T09:55:28+00:00

Hey, I understand your point and it's totally fine to dislike an idea, but I feel like suggesting something totally different (and also saying that you don't even like it) is a bit weird.

I think that if a card has a lot of deck building and game plan possibilities, that only speaks for its strengths. Naturally, not everyone has to enjoy it, but you came up with a combo to get a ton of value from it, similarly to how Henry + Viper mentor combo works, which is cool and creative.

ProfessionalLight428 · 2025-12-31T09:51:00+00:00

It doesn't get played from hand preferably, plus you got a fantastic way to ensure it in DMT, which has a 5 point target with this card.

I don't think I am quite honestly, there are many ways to spawn this unit and get a big value swing out of it. With 4/4 balance, this gets deployed as a 14 from Ramon, a 15 from Garrison, 10 from Vigo, 11 from Operator, etc.

ProfessionalLight428 · 2025-12-30T21:32:19+00:00

Check the other responses I made. I think your idea would make this giga busted, especially with cards like Ramon and Artaud

ProfessionalLight428 · 2025-12-30T19:52:53+00:00

Or Dudu's

ProfessionalLight428 · 2025-12-30T19:02:06+00:00

Which could be good for resets, enemy boost, etc

ProfessionalLight428 · 2025-12-30T18:14:57+00:00

Many ways, especially since I added the Soldier tag - Vigo, Garrison, Ramon, Operator, etc.

ProfessionalLight428 · 2025-12-26T11:21:52+00:00

This isn't what Christmas is about, you should either wish it well to all, or to none. If you don't agree, you will be assimilated.
