Emerald Legion

Highlights

This is a allies toolbox deck using {{ card("Emerald Legionnaire") }}.

This version uses {{ card("Erlik") }} as a star: his ability let the player get another Harbinger out fast and cheap. The fact that he has C let him use the excellent {{ card("Forced March") }} for stealth and unlock.

The idea is to defend and get an {{ card("Emerald Legionnaire") }} out, then bring the others back from the ash heap if they are there. Once {{ card("The Unmasking") }} and {{ card("FBI Special Affairs Division") }} hit the table, they're a solid defence.

{{ card("Liquidation") }} is used to bloat and can put some {{ card("Emerald Legionnaire") }} but also the cards to power their ability in the ash heap.

As the game progresses, {{ card("Emerald Legionnaire") }} are used to bleed. {{ card("Vengeful Spirit") }} helps to boost the Harbinger bleeds, too. {{ card("Inevitability of the Void") }} is used to lunge.

Tips & Tricks

To be able to use their ability, an {{ card("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 {{ card("Shroud Mastery") }} and {{ card("Breath of Thanatos") }}.

A key feature of this deck is the versatility of its cards: {{ card("Spectral Divination") }} can be used for stealth or intercept, {{ card("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 redirect the bleed with A bounces if given the chance.

Variants

A variant uses {{ card("The Capuchin") }} as star, {{ link("/deck-search", _("Richard Stefan Utner's deck"), twda_id="2019gbzzc") }} from 2019 is a good example of it.
