Ok Any player can trigger this ability. But there is no restriction about how to use it, so it can be used as 'card trading'??? I can put a leadership card under it, so it can be taken taken by another player playing Agression next turn???
A godlike update for safely storing Hawkeye (Hero)'s Mockingbird. While she is tuked under the compound, his infamous nemesis side scheme Marked for Death cannot steal her.
Character limit for reviews are a stupid thing and this line has to be written in order to fullfill the requirements
Being a basic ally with piercing gives Swordsman a useful niche in the crowded ally slot. Leadership has a cheaper option with Black Knight, and Aggression has Wolverine, who outputs more damage overall, but Justice and Protection might be interested. Swordsman's response does two interesting things. 1 - if he is given a tough status (Ready for Action, Muster Courage), he can block an attack and activate in the same round. 2 - since the response is after a boost is turned face up, you can wait to block with him until he's guaranteed to soak a large attack. Especially with the Avenger trait, Swordsman has enough things adding up to make him reasonably playable.
Simple but powerful card for any deck whose hero expects to thwart most turns. Like the Aggressive and Defensive versions before it, Heroic Conditioning takes the Core Set stat buff upgrade and adds one to the cost but also adds 3 hp, an exchange that's generally well worth it. The combination is perfect as the stat buff sets up your long-term value while the hp buff gives you some time to get there. Cards like Overwatch or additional ready effects can get even more mileage out of the buff with additional uses of the thwart stat each turn. This is a great general-purpose card that belongs in lots of decks!
