On average this is one of the weaker Events in terms of potential to swing a game. 5 life gain isn’t a huge reward, especially if your opponent is triggering all their double ally abilities on their turn because of this Event. This could also be one of the more imbalanced Events as far as it’s benefit to the current player vs the opposing player. But if you’ve got a rainbow hand (cards of every faction), this Event can swing things huge in your favor. On a turn in which you played only starters, this event only gives you one trade (and 5 life gain to your opponent). The potential benefit of this card is incredibly varied. Could make for a nice way to trigger a mission.Īnd since this Event says that the card can be acquired “as if it were in the trade row,” I would also assume the card you reserve could be acquired with Megahauler, Customs Frigate, etc. While I haven’t seen this play out in the Beta yet, I would assume you could reserve a directly into hand card (from Colony Wars) and it would still go directly into hand when you purchase it later on from your reserve (assuming you met the conditions). It will be interesting to see when a player reserves a card they want vs reserving a card to keep it away from their opponent. For example, you may want to discard all the starters revealed from the top of your deck by this Event, but if doing so would only leave you with 4 cards left in your deck…two of which are Battle Blob and Missile Mech…perhaps put one of those starters back on top of your deck. Keep in mind how this can affect the timing of future shuffles as well. The language suggests that this is optional (thus allowing you to avoid triggering an unwanted shuffle mid-turn), but it remains to be seen whether it will be optional in the digital version. Mobilization could also cause issues if it requires you to shuffle your deck mid-turn. Mobilization can be huge in setting up your next turn, or even your current turn if you have draws. It’s always nice to discard some starters, especially mid to late game!
