AnonAnime Stars Set Press Release!
Dear fans of Anonymous & everyone else, we hear your cries and know your disappointment in the lack of new cards from Anonymous. As you are already aware, things have been tough and we recently have lost our sponsors. However, we never lost our fans and our passion! Your smiles at our live events make everything worth it!
After one whole cat year of hard work, we proudly announce that the new Anonanime Star Set has been released!
Here is a sneak peek into the set!
Basic Rules Change:
To keep it brief and simple: No more Heroes, -1 Starting Hand, 8 Maximum Mana. No off-affinity penalties. Also that Neutral will now be “Corruption” affinity.
The Sealed format works like this: You get randomly get 1 out of 6 Dual Affinities as your "main affinities", and you will get 30 Blueprints (3 of) from those two main affinities. You will get 7 wildcards (1 of), and you may pick up to 5 of 7 to put into your deck.
If the rules seem confusing, Lovepon can help with clarifications!
New Mechanics:
Move & Signature: In the world of Variable Geo, waitresses engage in a high-stakes fighting tournament where winning or humiliation is all dependent on the Moves they use.
Move is an action tribe that is generated mostly by our Fighters. After three Moves, the strongest fighters can generate devastating Signatures that turn the tides of the game.
Here is an example: When Yuka Takeuchi attacks, it usually plays “Charge” and gives itself a +1/+1 stat line. However, if you have 3 or more Moves in your Graveyard, Yuka Takeuchi will Banish those three Moves to play her Signature action instead: Charged Fireball that deals 3 damage to anything and 1 damage to the opponent.
Check your graveyard and calculate your moves to surprise your opponents! Minami’s Paw Attack can interrupt the enemy’s key removals and Reimi Jahana’s Ground Shattering Fire can shatter the hopes of your opponent’s go-wide strategy!
Scenery (x): The story of Aria is about the daily lives of tour guides (Undine) in Aqua, a peaceful, Utopia-like planet. An iyashikei about Undines finding beauty everywhere they go.
Undine has the power to scout a Scenery, when they scout, they may choose one of two random Sceneries to add to their hand. Scenery is an Action that Banishes itself at the end of the turn. The two choices that the players face are: Which Scenery do I scout? Should I play the Scenery? On the second question, we can use Happy Memories as an example.
Path 1: The player could spend 5 mana to cast it and create three 2|2s.
Path 2: The player could wait until the end of the turn for the Action to Banish, and it will create a 1|1 instead.
Path 1 can create card and value advantages in the late game, but Path 2 is totally free and mana efficient.
Where is your next destination? The tasty Neo-V’s potato shop or watch the Moon Above peacefully? It is all up to you!
Coins: Coins are an alternative resource that the player has, they can be generated and used by some of the Mind and Corruption units. Certain cards are capable of generating Coins, while some have abilities that only work when you have enough coins to spend.
Aya - Genki Maid is an example of a Coins generator. She can use her Active ability to generate 5 coins per turn. Of course, if she is your only Coins generator, then it might take a long time for Iwao, Monster of Showa to come online to use his devastating ability to force your opponent to sacrifice two units.
To see how many coins you have, the Coins text reminder will show up whenever your # of Coins changes, hover on any of your units with Coins as a mechanic and you will see.
Excited to play? Come on down to Alt Collective on Sunday, 12:00 pm EST 6:00 pm Central European Time for our Sealed tournament! We hope to see you there!
