Valda, Seismic Impact

Guardian Hero

4{i} 40{h}

Whenever an opponent draws 1 or more cards during an action phase, create that many Seismic Surge tokens.

At the start of your turn, if you control 3 or more Seismic Surge tokens, cards you own with crush get dominate this turn.

• Valda’s first ability triggers each time an opponent draws 1 or more cards during any action phase (not just your own). When the triggered effect resolves, you will create that many Seismic Surge tokens equal to how many cards were drawn by that opponent.
• If an effect results in one single event where your opponent draws 1 or more cards, Valda’s first ability will trigger only once (e.g. an effect that results in “Draw 2 cards” would trigger Valda once).
• Valda’s second ability triggers at the start of your turn. Whether or not you control 3 or more Seismic Surge tokens is checked when the triggered effect resolves. If you have 3 or more Seismic Surge tokens, you will generate a continuous effect that applies to cards you own with a crush ability. When applied, those cards get dominate this turn.
• Neither player receives priority during the start phase of a turn.
• In the scenario where Valda successfully resolves their start of turn triggered effect, plays Leave a Dent then attacks with a Guardian weapon, the weapon attack will have Leave a Dent’s Crush ability, but not the weapon card itself. As the Guardian weapon attack is not strictly a card you own with a crush ability; it will not get dominate from Valda’s triggered effect.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Testament of Valahai

Guardian Equipment - Off-Hand

1{d}

If you control three or more Seismic Surge tokens, this gets +2{d}. If you control six or more, instead this gets +4{d}.
Guardwell

• Testament of Valahai’s ability generates a conditional continuous effect that is always checking as long as it is face-up in the arena. If you control three or more Seismic Surge tokens, this gets +2{d}. However, if you control six or more Seismic Surge tokens, this will get +4{d} instead of +2{d}
• If you control 3 Seismic Surge tokens when this defends, then you lose one of those tokens, this will lose the +2{d}. Similarly, if you control 6 Seismic Surge tokens when this defends, then you lose one of those tokens, this will lose the +4{d}.
• If a Seismic Surge token is created during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect(s) to become active (e.g. 2 to 3; 5 to 6), it will get the +2{d}/+4{d} but the damage will not be recalculated.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Hoarding of Denial

Guardian Equipment - Off-Hand

0{d}

This gets +X{d} while defending, where X is the number of cards with cost 3 or more defending this combat chain.

Blade Break

• Hoarding of Denial’s first ability generates a conditional continuous effect that only applies as long as it is defending. It gets +X{d} while it is defending where X is determined based on the current number of defending cards with cost 3 or more this combat chain. The variable X here can change if the total number of these specified defending cards changes (e.g. cards are removed/added).
• Hoard of Denial’s first ability checks cards defending on the entire combat chain, not just the chain link it is defending on.
• If the total number of defending cards with cost 3 or more changes after the damage step of Hoarding of Denial’s chain link has passed, the value of X will update but the damage will not be recalculated.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Tremor of Resistance

Guardian Equipment - Off-Hand

0{d}

If you control a Seismic Surge token, this gets +2{d}.

Blade Break

• Tremor of Resistance’s ability generates a conditional continuous effect that is always checking as long as it is face-up in the arena. If you control a Seismic Surge token, this gets +2{d}.
• If you control a Seismic Surge token when this defends, then you lose that token, this will lose the +2{d}.
• If a Seismic Surge token is created during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect to become active, it will get the +2{d} but the damage will not be recalculated.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Ley Line of the Old Ones

Guardian Instant - Aura

(BLU) 0{r}

Legendary

When this enters the arena and whenever you deal damage, create a Seismic Surge token.

At the beginning of your end phase, if you control no Seismic Surge tokens, destroy this.

• Ley Line of the Old Ones’ first triggered ability triggers when it enters the arena (e.g. resolves on the stack or when it is put into the arena from another card’s effect). It also triggers whenever you deal damage. You will create a Seismic Surge token when the triggered effect resolves.
• Ley Line of the Old Ones’ second triggered ability triggers at the beginning of your end phase. Whether or not you control a Seismic Surge token is checked when the triggered effect resolves. If you do not control any Seismic Surge tokens, you will destroy the Ley Line of the Old Ones.
• Neither player receives priority during the end phase of a turn.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Break Stature

Guardian Action - Attack

(YEL) 5{r} 8{p} 3{d}

Crush - When this deals 4 or more damage to a hero, destroy an aura token they control. They can't create auras with that token's name until the end of their next turn.

• Break Stature’s Crush ability triggers when it deals 4 or more damage to a hero. When this triggered effect resolves, you will destroy an aura token that the hero controls and also generate a continuous effect. This continuous effect will remain active for the remainder of the turn until the end of that hero’s next turn, which will prevent that hero from creating auras with the name of the token you destroyed by the preceding effect.
• When resolving Break Stature’s triggered effect, there is no priority between any of the effects generated (e.g. destroying the aura token, generating the continuous effect).
• If the aura token has lost its name due to an effect (e.g. Amnesia) and is destroyed as part of Break Stature’s Crush effect the player may still create auras with that token's names next turn.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Clash of Bravado

Guardian Action - Attack

(YEL) 4{r} 7{p} 3{d}

When this defends, clash with the attacking hero. The winner destroys an aura the other hero controls.

• Clash of Bravado’s ability triggers when it becomes a defending card on the combat chain. You will clash with the attacking hero when this triggered effect resolves. The winner chooses an aura the other hero controls after the outcome of the clash is determined.
• When resolving Clash of Bravado’s triggered effect, there is no priority between any of the effects generated (e.g. clashing with the attacking hero, the winner destroying an aura card).
• When resolving Clash of Bravado’s triggered effect, if there is no attacking hero when this triggered effect resolves, the clash effect fails and there is no winner.
• The winner must destroy a card with the aura subtype the other hero controls when resolving this triggered effect (e.g. an aura permanent, an aura token, a defending card with the aura sub-type, a card with the aura sub-type on the stack).

---------------------------------------------------------------

Headbutt

Guardian Action - Attack

(BLU) 4{r} 6{p} 3{d}

This can't be defended by non-head equipment.

If you have a head equipped and the defending hero doesn't, this gets +1{p}.

Crush - When this deals 4 or more damage to a hero, put a -1{d} counter on a head they have equipped, then if it has 0{d}, destroy it.

• Equipment cards without the head sub-type cannot be added as a defending card against Headbutt. This also includes cards with multiple types in addition to the equipment type (e.g. action equipment) but do not have the head sub-type.
• Headbutt’s second ability generates a conditional continuous effect that is always checking as long as it is face-up in the arena and not defending. It has two conditions that must be satisfied for its effect to be active: 1) you have a card with the head subtype equipped; and 2) the defending hero doesn’t have a card with the head subtype equipped. If any of these conditions are not satisfied, the effect is not active. If both conditions are not satisfied when you attack with this and they are met, this will get +1{p}.
• If both conditions for Headbutt’s second ability are satisfied during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect to become active, Headbutt will get the +1{p}, but the damage will not be recalculated.
• If there is no defending hero, Headbutt will not get the +1{p} from its second ability.
• Headbutt’s abilities are not functional while defending.
• When resolving Headbutt’s triggered effect, there is no priority between any of the effects generated (e.g. putting a -1{d} counter on the equipped head card, destroying it if it has 0{d}).

---------------------------------------------------------------

Pec Perfect

Guardian Action - Attack

(RED) 5{r} 9{p} 3{d}

Whenever a card defends this, clash with the defending hero. The winner destroys the top card of the other hero's deck.

• If multiple defending cards are declared at the same time against Pec Perfect (e.g. during the defend step), each defending card being added will cause the ability to trigger. Each of those triggered effects will resolve independently of the other triggered effects.
• When resolving Pec Perfect’s triggered effect, there is no priority between any of the effects generated (e.g. clashing with the defending hero, the winner destroying the top card of the other hero’s deck).
• When resolving Pec Perfect’s triggered effect, if there are no defending heroes when this triggered effect resolves, the clash effect fails and there is no winner.
• If multiple heroes are being attacked at the same time, then each defending card will cause the ability to trigger once with the clash against the hero that the card is defending.
• If a card with protect is declared as defending card for Pec Perfect that targeting another player, then the clash will be with the hero being attacked (the defending hero) not with player that owns/controls the card with protect.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Put 'Em in Their Place

Guardian Action - Attack

(RED) 6{r} 10{p} 3{d}

Valda Specialization

Crush - When this deals 4 or more damage to a hero, they discard their hand, then they draw that many cards.

• When resolving Put ‘Em in Their Place’s triggered effect, there is no priority between any of the effects generated (e.g. discarding cards, drawing cards).

---------------------------------------------------------------

Solid Ground

Guardian Defense Reaction

(BLU) 3{r} 5{d}

This costs {r} less to play for each Seismic Surge you control.

• Effects that increase resource costs are applied before effects that decrease resource costs.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Leave a Dent

Guardian Action

(BLU) 0{r} 3{d}

Your next Guardian attack this turn gets "Crush - When this deals 4 or more damage to a hero, destroy the top 4 cards of their deck."

Go again

• When Leave a Dent resolves, you will generate a continuous effect that will apply to the next Guardian attack this turn (e.g. Guardian weapon attack, Guardian attack action card). When applied, that attack will get a Crush triggered ability.
• The Crush triggered ability from Leave a Dent’s continuous effect triggers when the Guardian attack it’s applied to deals 4 or more damage to a hero. You will destroy the top 4 cards of that hero’s deck when the triggered effect resolves.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Visit Anvilheim

Guardian Action

(BLU) X{r} 3{d}

Remove X -1{d} counters from a Guardian off-hand you have equipped.

• You can play Visit Anvilheim even if you don’t have a Guardian off-hand equipped.
• The cost value of X is determined at the time the card is declared to be played so that X resources can be paid, and the cost value can be referenced for the purposes of effects (e.g. Frost Lock)
• You may declare X to be any number when playing Visit Anvilheim. When resolving Visit Anvilheim, if the value of X is greater than the number of -1{d} counters on a Guardian off-hand you have equipped, you will remove as many -1{d} counters as you can (typically all of them). If you declare X=0, no -1{d} counters are removed when Visit Anvilheim resolves.
• Effects that increase or decrease resource cost (e.g. Solid Ground) will only affect the amount of {r} needed to be paid and will not change the amount of -1{d} counters removed on resolution.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Daily Grind

Guardian Action - Aura

(BLU) 0{r} 3{d}

Attack action cards you control get "When this defends, clash with the attacking hero. The winner destroys the top card of the other hero's deck."

At the start of your turn, destroy this.

• Daily Grind’s first ability generates a static-continuous effect that applies to attack action cards you control as long as Daily Grind is a permanent in the arena. When applied, that attack action card will get a “when this defends” triggered ability.
• The “when this defends” triggered ability the attack action card gets from Daily Grind will trigger when that attack action card becomes a defending card on the combat chain. You will clash with the attacking hero when this triggered effect resolves. The winner destroys the top card of the other hero’s deck after the outcome of the clash is determined.
• When resolving the “when this defends” triggered effect, there is no priority between any of the effects generated (e.g. clashing with the attacking hero, the winner destroying the top card of the other hero’s deck).
• When resolving the “when this defends” triggered effect, if there is no attacking hero when this triggered effect resolves, the clash effect fails and there is no winner.
• If Daily Grind enters the arena, each existing defending attack action card will get the “when this defends” triggered ability; however, these “when this defends” abilities will not trigger as Daily Grind’s effect was not active when those attack action cards became defending cards.
• Daily Grind’s second ability triggers at the start of your turn. You will destroy Daily Grind when this triggered effect resolves.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Seismic Shelter

Guardian Action - Aura

(BLU) 0{r} 3{d}

Go again

• Seismic Shelter’s second ability generates a static-continuous effect that applies to attack action cards you control as long as Seismic Shelter is a permanent in the arena. When applied, those attack action cards will get +X{d} while they are defending where X is determined based on the current number of Seismic Surge tokens you control. The variable X here can change if the total number of Seismic Surge tokens changes (e.g. tokens are removed/created).
• If the total number Seismic Surge tokens you control changes after the damage step, the value of X will update but the damage will not be recalculated.
• If Seismic Shelter enters the arena, each existing defending attack action card will get +X{d}. Damage dealt from the attack will not be recalculated for chain links where those existing defending action cards are and the chain link has passed the damage step.
• Seismic Shelter’s third ability triggers at the start of your turn. You will destroy Seismic Shelter when this triggered effect resolves.

• Test of Iron Grip’s ability triggers when it becomes a defending card on the combat chain. You will clash with the attacking hero when this triggered effect resolves. If there is a winner (e.g. the clash does not result in a tie), the hero who did not win the clash discards a card.
• When resolving Test of Iron Grip’s triggered effect, there is no priority between any of the effects generated (e.g. clashing with the attacking hero, the hero who did not win discarding a card).
• When resolving Test of Iron Grip’s triggered effect, if there is no attacking hero when this triggered effect resolves, the clash effect fails and there is no winner.

• When resolving the Crush triggered effect, if you destroy defending cards with the aura sub-type after the damage of the attack has been calculated during Disenchantment of the Old Ones’ damage step, damage dealt from the attack will not be recalculated.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Smelting of the Old Ones

You gain control of an aura that Guardian hero controls when this triggered effect resolves (e.g. an aura permanent, an aura token, a defending card with the aura sub-type, a card with the aura sub-type on the stack).
• Any objects you gain control of from the other player will remain in its current state (e.g. tapped/untapped, existing counters, etc.).
• The effect of gaining control of an object does not satisfy any conditions nor trigger any effects that specifically look at when the object enters the arena or is played because the object is already in the arena and the control of the object is simply changing.
• Gaining control of an object does not count as the other hero stealing or heroes giving that object for the purposes of rules or effects.
• When resolving the Crush triggered effect, if you were to gain control of a defending card with the aura sub-type, it will remain as a defending card. If this is the case and the damage step hasn’t happened yet, that defending card will contribute its defense value (if any) during the attack’s damage calculation.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Annexation of the Forge

Guardian Action - Attack

(YEL) 5{r} 8{p} 3{d}

Crush - When this deals 4 or more damage to a Guardian hero, equip an equipment they have equipped.

This is also true for off-hand/one-hand equipment: you must have the appropriate empty weapon zones with nothing equipped to them. In any of these situations, if the zones are not empty and/or they have objects equipped to them, the equip effect simply fails.
• Any objects you equip from the other player will remain in its current state (e.g. tapped/untapped, existing counters, defending itself etc.).
• Equipping an object this way can satisfy any conditions and can trigger any effects that specifically look at when you equip an object.
• The effect of equipping an object this way does not satisfy any conditions nor trigger any effects that specifically look at when the object enters the arena or is played because the object is already in the arena.
• Equipping an object this way does not count as stealing or heroes giving that object for the purposes of rules or effects.
• When resolving the Crush triggered effect, if you were to gain control of a defending equipment card that is equipped, it will remain as a defending card. If this is the case and the damage step hasn’t happened yet, that defending card will contribute its defense value (if any) during the attack’s damage calculation.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Fault Line

Guardian Action - Attack

(RED) 3{r} 7{p} 3{d}

If you have a card in your arsenal, this gets +1{p}.

Crush - When this deals 4 or more damage to a hero, put all cards in all arsenals on the bottom of their owner's deck.

• Fault Line’s first ability is not functional while defending.
• If a card is placed into the arsenal during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect to become active, it will get the +1{p} from having a card in your arsenal but the damage will not be recalculated.
• if a card is removed from arsenal during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect to no longer be active (e.g. resolving Fault Line’s Crush triggered effect), it will lose the +1{p} but the damage will not be recalculated.
• Fault Line’s Crush ability triggers when it deals 4 or more damage to a hero. You will put all cards in all arsenals on the bottom of their owner’s deck when this triggered effect resolves
• When resolving the Crush triggered effect, if a player’s arsenal has multiple cards, you will choose the order the cards are put on the bottom of their owner’s deck. You will not be able to look at any face-down arsenal cards when making this decision.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Hostile Encroachment

Guardian Action - Attack

(RED) 3{r} 8{p} 3{d}

When this attacks a hero, they draw a card.

Crush - When this deals 4 or more damage to a hero, they discard a card.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Renounce Grandeur

Guardian Action - Attack

(RED) 3{r} 7{p} 3{d}

• Renounce Grandeur’s first ability is not functional while defending.
• If the defending hero gains control of an aura token during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect to become active, it will get the +1{p} from the defending hero controlling an aura token but the damage will not be recalculated.
• If the defending hero no longer controls an aura token during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect to no longer be active (e.g. applying Spectral Shield’s ward prevention effect), it will lose the +1{p} but the damage will not be recalculated.
• Renounce Grandeur’s Crush ability triggers when it deals 4 or more damage to a hero. When the triggered effect resolves, it generates a continuous effect that is active during that hero’s next turn. During their next turn, that hero can’t create aura tokens.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Aftershock

Guardian Action - Attack

(RED/YEL/BLU) 4{r} 8/7/6{p} 3{d}

When this attacks, if you've controlled a Seismic Surge token this turn, create a Seismic Surge token.

• Draw a Crowd’s second ability triggers when it enters the arena (e.g. resolves on the stack or when it is put into the arena from another card’s effect). When this triggered effect resolves, each hero will draw a card in clockwise order beginning with the controller of the triggered effect.
• Draw a Crowd’s third ability triggers at the beginning of your action phase. When that triggered effect resolves, you will destroy Draw a Crowd, and generate a continuous effect that will apply to the next Guardian attack action card you play this turn. When applied, that Guardian attack action card you play will get +3{p}.
• When resolving any of Draw a Crowd’s triggered effects, there is no priority between any of the effects generated by them respectively (e.g. There is no priority between each hero drawing a card while resolving the second ability’s triggered effect; There is no priority between destroying Draw a Crowd and generating the continuous effect)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Promising Terrain

Guardian Action - Aura

(BLU) 0{r} 3{d}

Go again

If you would create 1 or more Seismic Surge tokens, instead create that many plus 1.

At the beginning of your action phase, destroy this, then if you control 3 or more Seismic Surge tokens, draw a card and gain 1{h}.

• Promising Terrain’s second ability generates a replacement effect that applies each time you create 1 or more Seismic Surge tokens as long as Promising Terrain is a permanent in the arena. If you would create 1 or more Seismic Surge tokens, you will instead create that many tokens plus 1 more.
• Promising Terrain’s third ability triggers at the beginning of your action phase. When that triggered effect resolves, you will destroy Promising Terrain, then whether or not you control 3 or more Seismic Surge tokens is checked. If you do control 3 or more of the specified token, you will draw a card and gain 1{h}.

Each hero puts a card from their arsenal on the bottom of their deck. If they do, they draw a card.

Create Seismic Surge tokens equal to the number of cards drawn this way.

Go again

• When Tectonic Instability resolves, each hero will put a card from their arsenal on the bottom of their deck beginning with the controller of the Tectonic Instability and going in clockwise order. After all players put their cards on the bottom of their decks, each hero that did so will draw a card.
