Promo Card Community Set & Event Gamemode Reveal

Welcome Rift Runners, we've got another community set for you, this time being the Promo card community set, made up of cards designed by the community or for the community. These cards represent more than our continued expansion and content efforts - they're a symbolic gesture to our amazing community, that you are as much a part of this game as we are (and without having to write any of the code, lucky bastards).

Your last and only chance to get these cards in platinum is to pre-order in-game, or join the Patreon campaign before the end of the weekend, so consider joining if you're not already. Regardless, here's what we've got!


[h2]Doltan, the Blood Hunter[/h2]

A rift runner from an unknown world, Doltan fell through a rift into an unknown forest, and with no idea where he is, he does the one thing that he’s known his whole life… he hunts. The wildlife provide decent sustenance to sustain his hunger, but how will he get home?

Doltan’s effects are simple, as he has Lifelink 4 and Bloodthirst 4.

As a factionless character with two pretty powerful keyword abilities, Doltan’s strength is less in what he himself can do, or rather what you can bring out of him, finding synergies in unique purities to make the most of his lifelink and bloodthirst.

[h2]Blueleaf, the Scroll Keeper[/h2]

Blueleaf has had an impressive journey, from a Cultist thrall and slave, to a Genesis Industries asylum seeker and researcher, to a scroll keeper in the Library of Knowledge, they aim to study and preserve the arts, science, and magic of this world, and many others.

While Blueleaf is deployed, you are able to cast abilities from your graveyard as if they had recall X, with X being their original cost.

Getting to use each of your spells twice as much without worrying about recycle management and such is a really high potential ability, but with a cost of 8 and morale cost of 15, it’s not going to be easy or reliable, but the potential Blueleaf holds in the right hands, can be insane.

[h2]Bemmie, Paragon of Community[/h2]

From organising and running events, to supporting the little guy however they could, whether it was promotion, networking, or sign language interpretation, Bemmie was a legend behind the scenes, spreading love and positivity wherever they went.

Bemmie can target a non-unique character with a cost of 1 once every turn, and it gains a +4/+4 stat boost, becoming unique.

While this card has a lot of potential synergy with things like aspirants, thralls, militia or other one-cost cards, this card is an ode to a player and friend of Lightmare Studios, and despite only working with them for a year or so, they left an impact on all of us, that we felt we needed to honor. So, this one is for you Bemmie, I hope we’ve made you proud to be our friend, just as we were yours.

[h2]Soul Reaper[/h2]

A once powerful pilgrim of the DoD, the sleepers virus took hold and transformed them, but their spirit proved powerful enough to retain control of their infected, mechanical body. Soul reaper wanders Talich, looking to slay foes of the descendants.

Soul Reaper has Deadly in the assault zone, and on deployment you choose a target enemy character. When that character dies, it’s raised under your control as a flying 3/3 spirit.

As not only a fantasic way to apply pressure on defensively tall enemies, it also acts as a slow way to steal a character from your opponent, good for preventing opponent graveyard shenanigans, or to repurpose interesting effects for your own gain.

[h2]Benionin, Mage Guild Archivist[/h2]

The world was growing more and more complicated, convoluted, and the rifts risked knowledge being lost to time. Benionin founded the Library of Knowledge, looking to document and preserve knowledge on the people, systems, events, and battles of the Infinite Worlds.

Benionin can Exhaust himself to draft an ability card from 4 choices that match your deck’s purity mix, and place the chosen card on top of your deck.

As a commander, Benionin kind of hurts his own effect potential, but if he’s deployed later in the game, you can start to really dig for the hail mary card you might need, even if it isn’t a part of your current deck, as long as you have the purity to access it, you’ve got a chance to come up big.

We also have this weekend's event and Sanctuary Social (find the time on Discord) with Agent Coyle hosting, and a free stamped Coyle card (because it's about time he had one) and the Unending Growth game mode! You'll get the chance to find out more this weekend, so jump into the game and give it a play!

Thanks from everyone here at Lightmare for all your support, and of course consider joining the Patreon campaign to get platinum copies of the Promo Card Set, as well as a bunch of other extras and value!
