ART: | Dracomageat (Mark originally by Bloodshadow)
| IDEA: | Dracomageat
| Workings: | By clicking on this card in your hand, you will attempt to play it and in doing so, you will define its cost for the turn. The quanta cost will then become that of a random non-free card with the same unupped|upped status and will either be played immediately, draining that cost from the appropriate quanta pool(s) or tell you that you lack the quanta and remain in your hand. Either way, its cost will return to its undefined state at the end of your turn.
Once in play, this card will have both undefined attack and undefined HP. These values will be treated as infinite until checked for, at which point the become defined as values equal to that of a random creature or weapon with the same unupped|upped status. The two values are defined separately and as such can easily be from different creatures. The chimera cannot be picked. HP will return to undefined status at the end of each turn while attack will do so as soon as it is nolonger being checked, meaning that this creature could hit for a different amount of damage with every attack when adrenalined.
Changes to HP and attack are permanent, meaning that it can have the HP of a Titan one turn and shrug off the one damage from a Fire Shield but die to a Thunderstorm on your opponent's turn when its HP becomes 2. Similarly, if it has its attack doubled by Sky Blitz while adrenalined, it may attack for 30 on the first hit and then have double the no attack of a Voodoo Doll on every other hit.
This card cannot be randomly chosen by other cards or created as a mutant.
This card may never have a cost of zero and so does not count as a free card towards your single auto-mulligan.
Regardless of what the card text claims, this creature is "Airborne".

| Lore: | The Exiled/Annulled is a semi-material being from before quantum wellsprings brought life and matter to the world of elements. It seeks the destruction of everyone and everything. It's only goal is to return this world to the nothingness that it once was.
To do so, however, it must take on form and enter into the world it so despises and, as if that weren't torment enough for it, the only method of entry is through the use of the very thing that brought about its foe: quanta.
As an entity from before time itself, most time based effects do not phase this creature but lobotomising it will remove all memory of its existence, erasing it completely.
| SERIES: | None.
