New Contenders Enter the Conflict
Nexus of Power introduces five new Contenders, each bringing fresh strategic identities to the battlefield. Featured Contenders include:
• Whisper Ledger Syndicate: The Whisper Ledger Syndicate brings back Collection Counters with a sinister twist, taking advantage of the new Accumulate ability that can expedite counter accumulation process.
• Percival, Lead Broker: As leader of the Whisper Ledger Syndicate, Percival uses his power, influence, and craftiness to outmaneuver opponents. Using Illicit Goods tokens, Percival is ability to manipulate resources and disrupt attack plans while gaining card option advantage.
• Harmonisworn, Attack Ready / Amalgamight, Synthorian Guardian: The Synthorians use a hive-mind to protect their planet. The Harmonisworn is their main offensive means while Amalgamight is their primary defensive mechanism. Together, they are able to thwart any threat by using Merge, creating more Synthorians to join the fight, or Graft as a protective and enhancing mechanism.
• Guardian Angel, Ancient Protector: As keeper of The Vault, he fights fiercely against any challengers; only allowing the worthy to withstand the Trials. His combination of Flight, Conquer and Siege creates a challenge for all opposing threats.
• Doomcaster, Champion of Old: As Champion of the Gambit, Doomcaster is not to be trifled with. As he became consumed by the Absence, he has become nearly unstoppable. Conquer and Distract allow him to gain advantage while disrupting opponent play patterns. Through sheer force, Doomcaster will be a problem for any challenger.
New Keywords and Mechanics
Nexus of Power expands the Alpha Clash rules engine with powerful new keyword abilities that reshape combat and deck construction.
New Keywords:
• Accumulate: Choose an object in play. For each type of Counter on that object, create an additional Counter of that type.
• Conquer: If this card or effects controller also controls a Clashground in play, do the following.
• Resonance: Other [Synthoria] cards you control get this card’s other keyword abilities.
Errata
• LINN, the Nanite Assassin: As one of the more powerful blue cards in the game, and one on the watchlist for quite some time, LINN needed an update for balance purposes. Her new text reads:
Exclusive
Trigger - Enter: Target opponent diminishes one card. Then, you may put one Bounty Counter on target Clash card you don’t control.
At the end of your turn, if one or more Clash cards with Bounty Counters were defeated this turn, you may put target non-Exclusive Clash card with an initial resource cost of two or less from any Oblivion into your Clash Zone.
