Shifting Memory of Ages
Starts with little ability to influence the board - most of what it does in that regard will come from new Power Cards.
Starts with little ability to influence the board - most of what it does in that regard will come from new Power Cards. Extremely good with Major Powers and usually wants to take them early and often. Can either try sprinting towards victory with its phenomenal Energy Growth or build up towards becoming a late-game powerhouse.
Setup
Put 2 Presence on your starting board, in the highest-numbered land that is Sands or Mountain. Prepare 1 Sun, 1 Moon, and 1 Air marker (put them by your Special Rules). You start with your 4 Unique Power Cards and 0 Energy.
Openings
Double Major Rush
Rush to gain two Major Powers by Turn 2, then unleash them both on Turn 3 with 12 Energy available. Focus on either keeping Elements for yourself or donating via Elemental Teaching based on team composition.
Growth: Gain Major, add presence (energy). Cards: Study the Invader's Fears OR Boon of Ancient Memories (Study for Fear teams, Boon for high-plays Spirits). Discard unused starter when gaining Major. Target 3-6 cost Major. Use tier 1 Observe. Prepare Element for Major threshold or ally.
Growth: Gain Major, add presence (plays). Cards: Elemental Teachings, Share Secrets of Survival. Forget Study/Boon when gaining Major. Look for mid-cost Major sharing elements with first. Use Secrets in Ravaging land. Tier 2 Tactics covers another Ravage. Teachings: prepare Element, give 3 to ally or keep for thresholds.
Growth: Gain +9 Energy. Cards: Both Majors (12 Energy total). Setup Moon Element can provide last Element for threshold. Even giving Elements away, this turn outpaces most other Spirits.
Growth: Reclaim All, add presence (energy). Cards: Variable. Play one Major with leftover Energy plus a starter. Continue down Energy track in subsequent turns.
