Early demo of the Marx deck


Hello everyone, I want to give a preview to the second deck I’m working on building.

The video here shows a lot of the UI improvements for battles, along with the Marx deck. There are a few bugs in the video but I will work them out by the time I release the next major release. Also, here are a few assorted cards included in this version.

Karl Marx card

[+] Once-per-turn

ON TRIGGER: If “Engels, Friedrich” is overlayed, send 1 Matter Marxist card on the bench to Limbo for +3 Attack this turn.You can then add one Matter Marxist card from Limbo to the bench, except the card sent.

ON DISCARD: Add “Engels, Friedrich” from your deck to your hand.

Frederich Engels Card

[+] Once-per-turn

[+] Permadeath

ON OVERLAY COST: If the active philosopher is Marxist, send this card to your hand instead of Limbo.

ON LIMBO: If the active philosopher is “Marx, Karl”, add one Marxist philosopher from Limbo to your hand, except “Engels, Friedrich”.

Marx and Engels work together, obviously. You overlay Engels onto Marx to enable his effect to remove cards from the bench to gain a slight attack boost. He then has the option to add a different card from Limbo to the hand. This actually triggers many effects that work specifically with this combo.

Furthermore, if you want to switch Marx out, Engels will return to the hand instead of to Limbo, meaning that you can switch him out safely with a high defense card. If Engels does get sent to Limbo and doesn’t have his effect interrupted, he can send one card from Limbo to your hand, allowing you to continue to recycle the engine.

Finally, if you draw more than one Marx, you can discard one to get Engels, but you can’t activate Marx’s trigger effect that turn (because of “Once-per-turn”).

Gyorgy Lukacs Card

[+] Once-per-turn

[+] Permadeath

ON BENCH LIMBO: If the active philosopher is “Marx, Karl”, draw 2 cards.

Theodor Adorno

[+] Once-per-turn

ON BENCH LIMBO: If the active philosopher is “Marx, Karl”, send your opponent’s active philosopher to Limbo. The overlayed card becomes the new active philosopher.

Some cards can be sent from the bench to Limbo to trigger effects. By comboing these effects with Marx’s effect, you can maintain control over the field and deal consistent damage every turn, or get the resources you need.

Leon Trotsky Card

[+] Once-per-turn

[+] Permadeath

[+] Unfriendly

ON DISCARD: Add one Marxist type Philosopher with less than 3 Attack from your deck to your hand.

Trotsky is a reliable search option to get Marx from the deck, but cannot fetch Engels because of his stats.
