No matter how smart and compelling your post/ article seems to you, it is not going to change hearts and minds. None of us had ever heard of either of these two people before this nonsense: it is just an excuse to rehash a bigger issue that will never be resolved by making posts and counter-posts on message boards. (Yes, I know saying that here is hypocritical.) -

How is it this kind of card always follows this pattern? It seems investors would have destroyed that easy plunder by over-exploiting it.Posted in: Articles
Not that I mind. I'm happy when cards are cheap, and easily available. Order now for your casual fun purposes, or you'll end up paying way more for the same card. In the mean time, almost every other card in the set will tank in value. Business as usual. - To post a comment, please login or register a new account.

Next:
A wealthy king is in his court, and all are engaged in merry-making. The queen is laughing with the jester, and all are holding wine. The king himself (a chubby, friendly looking, middle aged, bald man) has a look of shock on his face, and is spilling his wine as the blade of a sword pierces clear through his stomach from behind the throne, where a cloaked figure holds the sword. None of the members of court seem to have noticed anything unusual.

@Dyd66681, we just have to learn from the mistakes they made with affinity (and delve for that matter.) Mostly, it just means being careful about the colored symbols in the cost, as that is the minimum you pay. As you say, though, it probably operates more like convoke than affinity, if a bit more aggressive than convoke.
Noble clansmen of Xerdum are bad at magic, but pretty good at alchemy. Potions, elixirs and even philosopher's stone - everything is possible and can be used in their intrigues and clan rivalry. Who will win?
