Community Set, January '24 - Exiles
Low-cost Exiles Demon Character - Infernal Chef
Infernal chef is wearing a stained chef’s uniform, with gruesome cooking utencils.
The love of blood and gore drives many exiled demons to the front lines of war, but Infernal Chef saw a more creative outlet for their passion. The remains and viscera of the battlefield are hauled off to the Chef by the demons with more discerning tastes, and he prepares them a much more palletable cadaver.
While Infernal Chef is deployed, the two characters adjacent to him gain Consume 2. This will put him in harm’s way to gain the use of the effect, so consider pairing him with buffing effects that can help him survive battle.
Low-mid cost Unique Exiles Artifact - Insane Reliquary
Insane Reliquary is a mimic-esque style chest with a gaping mouth, sharp teeth, many horns and several eyes sitting atop a display podeum.
Referred to colloquially as the angry box, Insane Reliquary is capable of consuming and holding many objects and treasures, however there’s no guarantee that when you take something out, it’ll be the same as what you put in. Do watch the teeth as you do so, as well - he bites.
Insane Reliquary has two different uses, for when it’s deployed and when it’s discarded from your hand. When it’s deployed, it’s effect triggers whenever you discard a card, giving a random character in your deck and a random deployed character a +1/+1 buff/ Discarding Insane Reliquary shuffles a copy into your deck, and gives a random character in your deck a +1/+1 buff.
Low-cost exiles artifact - Jewel of Madness.
The Jewel of Madness is a rough, glowing crystalline gem glowing a bright peach orange, sitting in a glowing corrupted demonic hand.
The crystalline growths of the wastelands require strength, fine motor skills, and an impressive mental fortitude to harvest, a combination quite rare in the demonic wastes. However, those skilled enough to harvest these gems can wield their power to do extraordinary things.
Jewel of Madness increased your maximum hand size by 2, and draws you an additional card if you have 6 or more cards in your hand at the start of the turn. If your hand gets too low, getting the effect back will be difficult, so manage your hand wisely!
Low-cost exiles ability - Nimble Trickery.
Nimble Trickery showcases a demon evading Cult of Verore priests attempting to catch him.
With the wastes already being an inhospitable hellscape, the demons of the Exiles had adapted strength and speed to survive. And, wouldn’t you know, that speed can become awful useful for slower human predators, with the faster demons able to dodge out death magics with all the grace of a hippo, and the military tact of an infant - but it works!
Nimble Trickery is a pre-emptive spell that targets a deployed character of yours. Then, if they are targeted by an ability, a different deployed character is chosen at random instead as the target.
Mid-cost Exiles Unique Character - Nysrugh, the Ravenous.
Nysrugh stands in the demonic wastes letting out a loud roar as his mouth gapes wide open. He hungers to feast once more.
Though Nysrugh is a formidable warrior, as his hunger motivates his bloodlust and consumption of his enemies, however when he is left to his own devices in the wastes, Nysrugh’s hunger can become such a pit, that Nysrugh turns to feasting on the other demons of the exiles.
Nysrugh, the Ravenous has consume 2, and whenever a deployed character you control dies, Nysrugh consumes it. When Nysrugh consumes for the third time each turn, he exhausts himself. This gives him a lot of potential to ramp up and become a monster, but he’s unable to endlessly sit in the defense zone and eat the attackers en masse.
