- Decomposition (All Corpses on target land space are removed. That space becomes a forest. If this removes at least one corpse draw a card.)
- Micro techtonics (-1 cost)
- Cloud Tether (-1 cost)
- Defection (Random Creature with X or less flux cost from Target Opponent's Army comes into play under your control by your Base.)
- Treetop Dominion (autodraws costs 5. Gives {D,1,1} Domain if at least 5 forests are revealed to you, otherwise one random desert or grass space you can see is {A,Greened} at the end of the round." )
- Tilting Grounds (no limit on the number of attack tokens)
- Ice sheet (Can place 3 of them)

Random change:
Subject of Loathing (made rare)

Please test out the new cards and let me know if you think I made any too strong.

does the game handle infinite loops caused by all hexes bounded by figures being enchanted by ice sheets? (note, this issue isn't new with the proposed change, but more likely now).

ugh, so after all the talk about NP being OP and making the game less fun to play ... the patch is going to make NP even more powerful by adding 10x as many subject of loathings to the game?

The odds of getting a rare or an odd are the same. So it shouldn't change how many subject of loathings there are in the world.

I thought there was an Odd in 1 out of 10 packs (and 1 rare in every pack)?

Granted, there are 5 times as many different Rares as there are Odds, but that would still make each individual Rare twice as common as each Odd.

Already played 2 games against Zepplin Raiders and I'll be the first one to say that this card is OP now that it now spawns anywhere.

Yeah it was definitely the one I was most worried about making OP. If anyone has made a good deck with these please play me with it.

I played two games against Monyx and he got one out in both games in my controlled space by my initial building. He took out 2 buildings in both games with just 1 of them. With their high health they were pretty hard to take out relatively early in the game. I think people will start putting these in a lot of decks.

Zepplin Raider is a bit much...lol...Love that they got a boost, but a little too much.

Suggestions...

Have them not be able to attack non-aloft buildings...

Up the amount of tokens, but make it combined actions between the two players, would make opponent to take action just to destroy raiders...

*shrugs*

Thoughts people!!!!

zepplin raiders:

attack: 3
defense: 10
can't be the target of spells or abilities you control

whenever raiders does damage, he does that much damage to himself.
