This is a allies toolbox deck using {{ emerald_legionnaire }}.
This version uses {{ erlik }} as a star: his ability lets the player get another Harbinger out fast and cheap. The fact that he has {{ CEL }} lets him use the excellent {{ forced_march }} for stealth and unlock.
The idea is to defend and get an {{ emerald_legionnaire }} out, then bring the others back from the ash heap if they are there. Once {{ the_unmasking }} and {{ fbi_special_affairs_division }} hit the table, they're a solid defence.
{{ liquidation }} is used to bloat and can put some {{ emerald_legionnaire }} but also the cards to power their ability in the ash heap.
As the game progresses, {{ emerald_legionnaire }} are used to bleed. {{ vengeful_spirit }} helps to boost the Harbinger bleeds, too. {{ inevitability_of_the_void }} is used to lunge.
To be able to use their ability, an {{ emerald_legionnaire }} must be put into play by recruiting it: the ones in the ash heap can not have their effect used — their card text is ignored as long as they are in the ash heap. In order to manage to get at least one into play, the deck packs quite a bit of stealth, and uses recruitment specialized modifiers like {{ shroud_mastery }} and {{ breath_of_thanatos }} .
A key feature of this deck is the versatility of its cards: {{ spectral_divination }} can be used for stealth or intercept, {{ breath_of_thanatos }} for stealth or a deadly strike, and so on.
The deck has quite a bit of intercept, but nothing close to what a wall construct can display. It will be happy enough to bounce the bleed with {{ AUS }} bounces if given the chance.
A variant uses {{ the_capuchin }} as star, {{ richard_stefan_utners_deck }} from 2019 is a good example of it.
