Round 3-4 Bonus Task

[dawn to dusk]

Spoiler for Card:

Cards of War
When an unknown ally enters the field of battle, allies are given the element of surprise. The opponent is caught of guard, and can give an edge in war. This card represents that, by buffing allies that may not be expected, emphasising this advantage that it may hold.

Alternatively, it may also give the weak and unfamiliar a starter, to get them going to achieve great things. Totally not foreshadowing

The Deck to Face the Apocalypse
In a post-apocalyptic world, where little remain, those who do remain must scavenge off the scraps that remain. They can multiply quickly, and given their situation, they will accept any advantage they get. They can obtain energy from spectral towers, a protection against the dangers from the apocalypse, and may even be given blessings from the stars! Phase Salvagers are used to represent these here, as they salvage what they can find, protecting it from further harm, or they can band together, potentially risking the harm of others, but creating a larger, and safer, group.

The void is unhappy with this. They do not like the revolt that is coming, and will do whatever it can to take the remaining back into its blackened depths. Even if it means helping one enemy to take down another.

Spoiler for So how does this tie in with Sci Fi?:

When one hears "Sci Fi," either one of 2 images comes to mind. The first is a laser battle in space, with a race (humans for instance) in spacecrafts, in a war against a harmful race of aliens. The other option is a futuristic civilisation, perhaps dystopian, with super-advanced technology (or the remnants of it), and toys with the theory of the unknown and "what could be in the future".

We toy with the latter, to bring a card, scavenged after the wreckage of the apocalypse, and brought as a blessing from the stars to assist in those fighting to survive. The deck follows on with this story and theme, with the only creatures being frail and dying if not helped, but when given assistance, they can do great things. While their enemy is struggling to fight the planet as they slowly wither away from the harsh conditions, their fragmented sanity broken beyond healing.
