Pointless note: Suddenly realised that I truly have major problems expressing myself plus that stupid 4-0 loss against the Tractors. Apparently, discussing global politics with Mr Eric Soh has never been for the faint hearted. Sorry, Mr Eric Soh, it's not your fault that I suddenly discovered I truly need some serious help. I'm not joking here and I was right in saying that the entire week thus far (including today) is a bloody 50-50. Thank God literally for this blog. I would be truly a certified good-for-nothing without it. And no, I'm not trying to mimic you on purpose, Tobias.
Note: Whatever images you'll see here is basically a figment of my own imagination where my own ideal card illustration is concerned.
Add note: I'll only input the Lords and Advisers of Wei for now.
Rules update: Tap is basically Vulnerable status while untap means Alert status. At the same time, you can only create your deck out of one single faction apart from exceptional cases.
