Announcing! Plaid Hats vs. Rios Clan!

[thenightsshadow]

Event of the Plaid Hats - Plaid Army
- Pay 2 Magic to immediately summon up to three Common Plaid Hats Units from your hand without paying their Magic Cost.

The Plaid Hat, signature of Truth's frankness and boldness, is a common feature among the Units he leads. Instead of hiding magical powers or acting as a symbol of power, it instead gives a sense of solidarity. So much so, that the spirits fighting for Truth will give a bit of their Magic Power to Truth, allowing them to be summoned more easily.

Event of the Rios Clan - Jerk Move
- Instead of playing this card during your Event Phase, you may play this whenever an opponent plays an Event Card. Pay 2 Magic to blank the text of that Event Card.

"Nuh-uh." "Nope." "Ain't happening." "Nice try." And, Josh's favorite, "Next!"

As varied as Hope's jerk moves are, even opponents find it unreasonable that he can use pranks for defense. However, with Intensity's help, Hope has learned to set traps in case something he can't handle ever shows up.

Event of the Plaid Hats - Benevolence
- Until the beginning of your next turn, all players skip their Attack Phase.

The awe and mental pressure of Truth's Benevolence is such a powerful force that it causes everyone in the Flagbearer's presence loses the will to fight. This serves two purposes: to show that the Truth is absolute, and for his fighters to advance without fear.

This, however, strains his relationship with his Goddess. His Truth was to be used for defense, not offense. And the more he continues to use it offensively, the more the strain on his morals gets.

Event of the Rios Clan - Repair Godshome
- Place 2 Wound Markers on all Walls on the Battlefield.

Hope hasn't completely forgotten the mission he set out on. His mission was to set the Truth right again, and while he has taken a different turn to get there, it hasn't weakened the connection to his Goddess. Not yet, anyways.

For now, all he can do is apologize for borrowing Godshome's walls by repairing the old buildings that once held much more magical powers.

Truth's event says "A Hero is Born," not "A Hero is Hired."

Please fix this error.

[thenightsshadow]

Much appreciated, Kaiser Cat. Definitely made me laugh.

However, A Hero Is Born might not be the card when I finally get around to it. It might even drop off if Attrition is alright at 2 copies.

Edit:
Attrition is now at 2 copies, A Hero Is Born is gone.

Also posted Pascal's Purification, the Reinforcement Pack.

Event of the Plaid Hats - Overwhelm
- You may move and attack with up to 4 Units this turn.

Truth is beholden to no one. His turf is gratitude, and his essence is the reason for his upstanding reputation. He has found a way to channel this force into one for battle.

In battle, should Truth choose to do so, he may make his allies fear him, pushing them to work harder for his sake. He doesn't do it too often though, because he'd rather have the morale of his troops.

---

Event of the Rios Clan - Blade Wave
- Choose a Unit you control. Until the end of the turn, treat the chosen Unit as if it had the bow symbol instead of the sword symbol.

"Every one of those Summoners below," reasoned Hope one day, "has a weakness. If I ever get one of those Goddess stones, I will make sure to cover for it."

And so he has. While many of his fighters, himself included, prefer the face-to-face combat style, Hope can invoke his Goddess Stone's innate power to allow each of them to attack from afar without throwing their weapon.

Double Update today, and that finishes off the base decks! Enjoy!

======

Event of the Plaid Hats - Attrition
- Choose an opponent. During the chosen opponent's next Draw Phase, that opponent can only draw a maximum of one card.

Truth has one reliable trick of his own against any opponent. Unlike anyone else, he knows what to do when there are limited resources. Any Summoner knows what to do when they have no magic left; transform power from the Goddess Stone into Magic. Truth can take small portions of resources and time and create something spectacular from it.

It is this mastery of attrition, he reasons, that he is undefeatable.

---

Event of the Rios Clan - Magic Siphon
- Choose an opponent. If you have less Units on the Battlefield than that opponent does, remove up to 3 cards from the top of that opponent's Discard Pile and place them face down on top of your Magic Pile.

Another weakness that Hope found was that his connection to the Void was so strong that it caused him to have a smaller Magic amount than many other Summoners had. Because of that, he resolved to find himself a way to propel power from others' Void directly into his Stone.

It is Hope's hope that he will not have to fight much longer, as using the Goddess Stone tires him out faster than before.

Finally, time for the reinforcements!


Champion of the Plaid Hats - Brad Minnigh
Attack Value: 2 (Melee)
Life Points: 5
Summon Cost: 5
Ability: Creation
- You may treat Brad Minnigh as a Wall during your Summon Phase. If you do, put 2 Wound Markers on this card.

One of the fondest memories Brad ever had was when he created his first spirit. He was elated to show his parents, and they found Brad was a gifted child. Over time, his love of living beings grew, and the older he got, the bigger his creations got, and the more powerful they were. While the creations would never live long, the time he spent with them were moments to be treasured.

One day, there was a knock at Brad's door. When he opened it, who else would be standing there by Colby, the essence of Truth. Colby had a proposition. He was delegating parts of his power to fellow beings that stood for what he believed in so he could focus on containing the war down below. Brad was quick to oblige, and the creator became known as the essence of Creation. It was an honor he would not refuse to pay back in full when Hope and Truth began their clash.

Champion of the Plaid Hats - Taylor Kowbel
Attack Value: 2 (Melee)
Life Points: 4
Summon Cost: 3
Ability: Dustswept
- Whenever Taylor Kowbel would be destroyed, instead remove all Wound Markers from Taylor Kowbel and return him to your hand.

Taylor Kowbel is the essence of memory, and while he isn't the biggest abuser of his essence, he is one of the more well-known ones to do so. He has used it quite a number of times to escape punishment, or even escape battles unharmed. It is quite rare to see him fail at anything he does, and it is his power that does the work for him.

It is said that Truth always saw past those facades, and decided to stop Memory from doing all of these abuses by keeping him close, always with a watchful eye. He does allow Memory to use his essence every now and then, but watching an opponent double over in shock over how a mere soldier keeps reappearing every time he seems to be destroyed is a source of laughter to the leader. It's not likely that Taylor will ever leave Colby's side.

Makes sense to post this on my birthday, right?
Edit: Whoops, I'm 3 minutes late. Oh well.

Champion of the Plaid Hats: Pascal Lefebvre
Attack Value: 2 (Ranged)
Life Points: 6
Summon Cost: 6
Ability: Purification
- All Summoners lose their abilities and cannot gain any abilities.

Pascal was one of the few gifted with multiple essences. Purity was his, but the essences of Hope and Truth also were shared. As an elder in Godshome, his words were sometimes misinterpreted, but many came to hear Pascal's advice.

Truth didn't even wait for Purity to swoop down into battle. Colby knew that his righteous fervor would be a bolster for his forces, as since when has Purity ever denied Truth? The winged sage of Godshome agrees for now, but he knows that when things look obvious, the minds may tell otherwise.

Happy birthday!
