Echoes of Yesterday: Bronze MO
All cards for the expansion I present to you my new archetype for MO, Spectres. Right now they sort of support Deathwish, but I wanted to give them something new, while still kinda helping out Deathwish. Yes, the art is made by me in MS Paint. The first card is:
As you can see, the new archetype focuses on “Shade” tokens. Which are primarily located in your graveyard. Yes, some more graveyard interactions, I know, shocking for MO, which is literally filled with ghosts and necrophages. But I wanted something more than just consumes and banishes, some more control. And this is my solution. Prelude itself is a 3 point body that serves to give your graveyard some shades as well as have support for Deathwish if need be. It’s nothing too shocking, but for a 4 provision card, pretty decent, I’d say.
The second card is:
A special organic card to support our new ghost friends. I attempted to make Decomposition into something that can trigger Deathwish abilities without being reliant on the Consume mechanic. I also tried to connect this with the Shades as well, but not in the graveyard this time, rather on the field, just like Prelude’s Deathwish. This also focuses on you having a pretty big graveyard already, so it’ll play for quite a lot of point in R3.
The third card is:
Why wait for an opponent’s squirrel when you can do the job, but better. Poltergeist is here to help you declutter your graveyard (if you want that for whatever reason) of bronzes. It can pointslam if need be, since bronzes put it in a power range of 6-8 on deploy. Additionally, it helps with making the Shade army in your graveyard. The Deathwish only adds more interactivity with the opponent, and is quite RNG reliant, so nothing too crazy.
The fourth and final card is:
Of course, it wouldn’t be a Spectre expansion without a wraith card. However, as you may have noticed, there is something special about this, quite different from a lot of MO cards in general and in this expansion. First of all, the Deploy ability serves to manipulate your graveyard into a more friendly state (for example for decomposition or for a few golds that will be revealed later) as well as allowing you to replay cards in the next round (or same round) as you play Wraith by placing them back in your deck. Secondly, it serves as carryover as well as utilizing your Shades to do so (to counteract stockpiling Shades a bit too effectively). Lastly, it has Devotion support (I know, the keyword that has been forgotten for ages) to add a bit more pure MO fun into the mix. (Yes, there is more Devo support incoming, I hope you’re ready)
And that is it for the Monster bronzes for my first custom gwent expansion. As you can see, all cards were created with the help of gwentcard.online so check them out if you can. I hope you will have fun on this custom card journey with me, because we’re going through all 6 factions (and maybe some neutrals too). I would be delighted over feedback, so please leave a message or ask if you want to share.
