Whoops, I forgot that only Heroes were immunized through Flesh of the Sun God. And I did mean Zealous Offense, rather than Chastise.
Akash'Flora is a target in Akash'Thriya's deck. It starts with 3 HP, but can heal above its maximum. At the start of your turn, every hero can use a power; each time a hero does this, Akash'Flora hits itself for 2 damage. At the end of the turn, Akash'Flora and some heroes heal.
It's great for the hero decks ... a little less for the villain decks. :)
One card was the target of my attention because how ridiculously powerful and weird it seems to me.
La Comodora's Rudder in the Timestream
At the beginning of your turn, either discard a card or destroy this card.
Power: Move 1 card from a trash to the bottom of that card's deck, then move 1 card from a different trash to the bottom of that card's deck.
So basically, you can spam the villain deck with hero cards and then using shuffle or deck manipulation force the villain to play cards for heroes.
La Comodora + The SW Sentinels (For Writhe's power) + Dark Argent Adept (to fill the villain trash) could be a big problem for any villain.
La Comodora can make Rook City a good place to live ... Or she could take the Chairman's underlings to feed them in heroes deck... and that's just the beginning of my ideas for this card.
So much possibility, so much potential ... Thanks for this card, Christopher ! I need to find a way to abuse it so I can use it on OblivAeon AND the scion decks !
Why do you break my dream ?? What kind of monster are you ? OblivAeon is a good guy compared to you !!! You didn't shatter the multiverse, but you did shatter my heart.
OK ... the "that card's deck" confused me a little ... I thought it meant "the deck of the first card". Well, I guess I will have to turn on Akash'thrya to put my cards where they don't belong ...
The prints are for Akash’Flora, Impending Doom and Devastating Aurora.
The box weighs 12lbs (around 5kg) when empty. Have not filled it yet. So, yes, it is a beast of a thing.
EDIT: Filled weight is 34 lbs (15kg). And it fits everything with premium sleeves, but you have to be a bit creative about where to put some content (I placed all the OblivAeon cards and tokens in their own slot in the token drawyer.
I would say that when a Scion no longer counts as a Scion, a Scion ‘has been removed from the game’, which means flipping Faultless should count as a Scion being removed for all purposes.
In playtesting the wording was brought up, there was no official rule handed down to us.
But I played as not, just like when The Operative (from the Chairman's deck) is "destroyed" by e.g. Sucker Punch, the wording on the character card overrides the general rules and she is not destroyed, she flips instead.
And is the Scion that waas in play now in play? No. Faultless' flip side isn't a Scion so there is now 1 fewer Scion in play. If it wasn't removed, where is it?
Also, Completionist Guise has a different comic cover and flip side speech depending on whether he's Foil, regular (from the variant collection) or from Super-Ultra Mega-Rare from the box itself. Nothing else seems different between the cards.
And is the Scion that waas in play now in play? No. Faultless' flip side isn't a Scion so there is now 1 fewer Scion in play. If it wasn't removed, where is it?
Isn't "Removed from play" a gameplay term, and not a colloquial usage? Like "Destroy" or "Reveal"?

I would be much more able to contribute to this discussion if I had actually seen any cards. As it is now, I'm just desperately waiting for the darn thing to hit store shelves and being too impatient to avoid spoilers.
I do have a few questions for those lucky enough to have their hands on OblivAeon:
How does the Scion Deck work? Is it like Nemeses, where the cards have an extra effect depending on if certain Scions are in play?
How long from the start of the game is it before OblivAeon actually loses any significant health? 10,000 is a bucketload, and besides that, he apparently starts immune to damage.
Are the new heroes balanced for non-OblivAeon games? I understand if they're super good to stand a chance against the end of everything, but are they able to be used against normal villains without making the fight boring?
Removed from play doesn’t seem to have its own Glossary entry, but ‘play’ does, which includes both playing a card and that card either remaining in ‘play’ or leaving play - I would definitely argue that if a Scion changes to no longer be a Scion then a Scion Card was in play and then it wasn’t in play… however, as I only play the digital version, I guess I’ll go with whatever that uses for this!
This only really affects Faultless and Voss I think, but I think this would give a pretty huge bonus for taking down Faultless in the first stage of OblivAeon- if he doesn’t get replaced then that’s a pretty big advantage!
Scions do not work like Vengeance nemeses. They work more like Vengeance vilains, higher HP and are nasty regardless, but extra damage to nemeses.
OblivAeon starts taking damage once the shield card flips. However, he doesn’t start taking significant damage until he’s on h8s sec9nd and thord ‘sides’. 10000 is a bucketload, but you don’t have to clear all of it to win.
The new heroes are similar in power to others. They may seem to do more, but in the end actually contribute similar amounts to regular heroes. That said, they may tend towards the stronger side than the weaker one.
Thanks for the explanations! I knew the Scions were Vengeance-style, though. I meant with the cards in the Scion Deck (since as far as I know they all share a deck). Is it like, "1 Scion deals each hero target 2 damage, and increase it by 2 if Dark Mind deals this damage"?
It is a shared Scion deck but there are no bonuses on the cards played if it’s a certain Scion. Scion Panels may have something that does increase their damage dealt though.
