Another sneak peak card

Braying Gor is a versatile low-cost unit that, text effect aside, offers a respectable single power icon for its cost of two resources. But when resources are tight, it can also be corrupted to help bring other units into play.



At first glance, this might seem like too high a cost to pay. After all, you can only restore one unit at the start of your turn... and if you corrupt too many of your own units, you may find yourself digging your way out of a hole for most of the game. What if, for example, you corrupted all three Braying Gors at once? You'd get a handy discount, sure, but then your Braying Gors would be useless until you could restore them, right?

Not exactly. Corruption only prevents attacking and defending; there's plenty a unit can do for you while it's in a corrupted state. Even if corrupted, its power icon can still count for collecting resources and cards in your kingdom or quest zones... and it can be sacrificed (while corrupted) to power any number of cards, including Brutal Offering



Great Unclean One, and Offering of Blood, just to name a few.

Wondered who would spot that first, not got the rules on me (at the pub) but if that's true, it makes being corrupted not as bad...

[maelzch]

yeah, the wording of corruption is "Corrupt cards cannot be declared as attackers or defenders".

Guess this means they still generate stuff then.

Guess this means they still generate stuff then.

That makes a big difference..

Does that mean they can use actions as well then?

[maelzch]

I'd assume so!
