Unlike
games with the original 70-card 3DA set, games with the Legendary Edition start
with 70 cards made from the 10 standard dragon colors and add 10 unique cards
chosen from 15 Legendary Dragons and 15 Mortals. You can customize your deck
with the cards you enjoy playing with most or choose randomly for an
unpredictable mix.
Today
we’re introducing two of the new Legendary Dragons. The Copper Trickster is first, pictured alongside a standard Copper Dragon.
Copper Trickster
As you can
see, we’ve used the normal dragon art by Craig Phillips for the Legendary
Dragons but set them apart with different card graphics. The Copper Trickster counts as a Copper Dragon for purposes of creating a color flight, though this
may be a bad example to highlight, since Copper is arguably the most difficult
color flight to attain!
Gambling
with a Copper Dragon’s power when you don’t have any other good ideas is a
time-honored method of inviting luck to solve your problems. As the legendary
representative of its color, the Copper Trickster applies the luck to where you
need it most. Unlike a normal Copper Dragon, the Copper Trickster discards a different
card from your flight and replaces it with the top card of the deck. Unlike
normal Copper Dragons, that can sometimes trigger powers that are actively bad
for you, you can trigger your new card or not, as you choose.
The Copper
Trickster has a way of shaking things up when your opponents thought they
understood the probabilities. Your top deck card draw may fail you, but at least
it’s going to put a scare into everyone else.
Gold Monarch
Timed
correctly, Gold Dragons are a huge helping of awesome. Win the gambit with high
cards? Check. Draw lots of cards? Check. Search for a color flight of Gold
Dragons while drawing those cards? Triple-check.
Therefore,
I felt fine about giving the golden Legendary Dragon a touch of noblesse
oblige!
The Gold Monarch’s drawback doesn’t kick in unless you win the gambit. If you’re going
to whine about it, you’re whining as the winner, so try roleplaying draconic
majesty instead. You've carved a slice of high moral ground covered in treasure!
