DEATH FROM THE NIGHT SKYEvery summer, when the twin blue dwarf-stars were in alignment, the inhabitants of Planet X would sit outside and watch the annual meteor shower. Year after year, the normally dark atmosphere would brighten up with thousands of white lights streaking across the sky.
One year, the meteors came early. The inhabitants didn't know what was happening until it was too late.....
An alien race, led by their queen the Death Nymph, had been sending rocks to the planet in an attempt to break through the atmospheric barrier that was protecting the planet. During the alignment of the twin dwarf stars, their gravitation pull was weak enough on one side of the planet to send the meteors. This year, however, was a double alignment and provided the aliens ample opportunity to send several more days worth of meteors.
By the third day of the meteor shower, the atmosphere buckled, cracked, then shattered. To the ground fell thousands of meteorites, slamming into the ground on the far side of the planet. The inhabitants were safe from the shockwaves of the blasts, but little did they know that the meteorites carried an invasion force. Each meteorite contained several viruses that carried through the air and infected the inhabitants. Driven to madness, the inhabitants destroyed their homes; when everything they owned was gone, they turned on each other, and finally on themselves.
The once beautiful planet was left barren and destroyed. Not a remnant of the blossoming civilization remained. The alien race, having finally destroyed this planet, set their sights on other planets and other solar systems to leave in ruin.
How the deck works:
This is for the most part a stall deck. The
Retroviruses and
Aflatoxins work together to create
Malignant Cells.
On your opponent's side, you can kill multiple
Malignant Cells to build up a large
Bone Wall. The
Meteorites can be used to blast spaces on your opponent's side of the field, killing 3
Malignant Cells in one shot and leaving 3 Unoccupiable Craters. With all 3 of these, you can nullify 9 of your opponent's creature slots. The
Collision Course card can be used to take out multiple threats your opponent has on the field and allow more space for the
Malignant Cells to infect.
On your side, when you've built up enough creatures, you can drop an
Asteroid (or 2) and hit for 20+ damage each. If the board fills up, you can use the
Catapult to clear a spot for another
Asteroid. This will also add to your
Bone Wall stacks. The
Chimera can be used for a nice finisher.
