AD&D Deck

Created by Andrew Hall

Ally 10/55

When the myrmidons are discarded, the player shuffles all discards back into the draw deck.

Undead. This ally strikes fear in all opposing champions (except clerics), reducing their base level to 0.

When played in battle, the opposing player must immediately discard two cards from his hand.

Undead. This ally drains the adjusted level of an opposing champion (except cleric) by 9; any that drop below 0 are instantly defeated.

Swimmer. The selkie can charm the opposing champion into discarding one card in its force (chosen by that player).

Underdark. Because of this creature's acute hearing, it can "hear" the next card to be played by an opposing player (the card is shown but not played) and choose to scuttle back to its pool along with the attached champion.

Underdark; earthwalker. The Lurker can be played at any time as a harmful event to burrow over to a player's pool and devour (discard) any earthwalking champion of level 6 or less or it can be played in combat to discard one opposing ally already played.

Underdark; flyer. The White Weird can be played at any time as a harmful event to fly over to a player's formation and poison (discard) one holding or it can be played in combat to halve (round down) an opposing champion's adjusted level.

Underdark. When played, this ally can shift any two cards of one type in the opposing player's force to this side. Choice need not be immediate.

Undead; flyer; dragon. One opposing ally of this player's choice is instantly discarded.

Artifact 4/10

This wand can be attached to any undead monster champion. When the wand is used in battle against an opposing champion of level 8 or less, the opponent is instantly slain (discarded).

This artifact can only be attached to an AD&D realm. At any time during a round of combat, this player can choose to catapult the attacking champion to the Abyss. This realm is razed and the artifact discarded, but no one gains spoils.

Offensive spells, psionic power cards, blood abilities and harmful events are reflected away from the attached champion and affect the champion of this player's choice, regardless of immunities.

The attached champion may duplicate the effect of any one spell, psionic power card, or psionicist champion power in play.

Cleric Spell 2/55

Can be cast at any time to cancel the effects of an existing or just-cast spell, blood ability, or psionic power card. (Def)

Can be cast at any time. This spell cancels the effects of any just-played event card. (Off)

Cleric 3/20

Delsenora is also an oracle. She can cancel the effect of one event card for this player, but must be discarded afterward.

Every time Halcyon wins a round of battle, the player can return one card from the discard pile to his hand.

Flyer. Charm can cast wizard spells and psionic power cards. If opposed when she attacks, her dazzling breath weapon destroys all holdings in that player's formation.

Dungeon 1/1

No offensive magical items can be used by opponents when attacking this player's realms. The items remain behind in the attacker's pool. If the champion returns, they are reattached; if not, the items are discarded.

Event 6/10

The player of this card draws five cards immediately.

Play only between two player's turns. The player of this event can take a turn immediately. Afterward, play resumes where it left off.

This magical calm undoes the harmful effect of an event, but only for the player of this card.

Destroys one realm of the player's choice; that realm is discarded. (Harmful)

This player can deflect a harmful event affecting only him onto any other player. (Helpful)

Until the end of this player's next turn, one avatar may be freely played into each player's pool, ignoring the requirements for bringing out avatars. (Helpful)

Hero 2/20

All monsters are awed by her beauty. Colleen wins the round automatically if the opposing champion is a monster.

Can cast wizard and cleric spells. Immune to all offensive cards and opposing champions' special powers. All cards in this player's pool can be turned face down while the Ethereal Champion is in play.

Magical Item 4/12

This figurine of wondrous power causes its owner to become a flyer. The figure's flight is so dexterous that the owner is immune to all offensive spells, psionic powers, blood abilities, unarmed combat cards, and thief skills that affect a single target. (Def)

If the attached champion is discarded in battle, this mechanical marvel returns to the pool and is instantly attached to another champion. If there are no champions in the pool it returns to this player's hand. (Def)

Whenever an offensive spell is cast at the attached champion or his pool, this player cuts his draw pile and checks the last digit of the card number of the card revealed. If it is 0-7, the spell is turned back at the caster. On an 8 or 9, the spell takes effect normally. (Def)

During phase 3 you may cut your draw pile and take the card you cut to. If it is a realm, discard it immediately. Any other type of card may be held, put in the pool, or played as desired. (Def)

Monster 4/20

Flyer. Every time Shalbaal wins a round of battle, the player randomly draws one card from the defeated player's hand and discards it. The player must laugh while doing this.

When Stryck attacks, she gets to pick her opponent from those champions in the defender's pool.

Avatar. One or more flyers totaling 16 levels or more must be discarded to bring Remnis into play. At the end of each turn, Remnis can fly into this player's discard pile and retrieve one non-champion card, returning it to this player's hand.

Dragon; flyer, swimmer; can attack any realm that shows coastline on the card. Can cast wizard spells. Mykell psionically destroys any one ally played against him in a round of battle.

Psionicist 1/20

If an opponent wishes to play an ally against Sparkle, she psionically inspects the player's hand and chooses which ally to play; no more allies can be played by that player. (Off)

Realm 10/15

Dragon champions can defend this realm twice per turn. Opponent's dragons cannot attack this realm. Council Aerie can defend itself as a level 9 monster (dragon).

All champions attacking this realm are "taxed". The player must take one spell from either his discard pile or his hand and place it in the Abyss. If he can't pay the tax, he cannot attack.

If an opposing player's dragon champion is defeated in combat, this player may attach the dragon to this realm and use it as an ally (level only) the next time the realm is attacked.

When attacking any realm in this player's formation, the attacking player must discard a card from his hand or pool for each champion and ally sent forward.

Players attacking this realm must discard a card from their hand during each round of battle.

Cannot be attacked by flyers or swimmers. Only AD&D champions can attack this realm; champions from other worlds cannot attack.

Adds a +3 Underdark ally to all champions of this player when attacking. The ally is negated by any other Triumvirate realm in play unless in the same player's formation.

Adds a +6 Underdark ally to all champions of this player when attacking and negates the ally gained from the Unipolar Triumvirate. This ally is negated by the Tripolar and Ultimate Triumvirates unless in the same player's formation.

This realm extends under all opponent's realms that have attached holdings, allowing the realms to be attacked by this player's champions and allies, regardless of position or restrictions.

Rule 1/3

Played at the beginning of the player's turn, this card is not discarded. It affects all players and remains in effect until any other rule card is played. This rule card allows every player to have a rule card in play (this player may have one in addition to this one). Only the player who plays a rule card is affected by its powers. The Ultimate Rule Card removes all rules from play.

Wizard Spell 5/55

Destroy's one realm, regardless of position. The destroyed realm must be discarded. This player can make no attacks this turn. (Off/3)

This spell can be cast at any time to negate the effect of any event card. (Def)

Discard any one card in play (except a realm) regardless of its immunities. This spell can be cast at any time, but the casting champion cannot be used again until its owner's next turn. (Off)

Allows this caster to redirect a just-cast offensive or defensive spell at any card in play. This spell may be cast at any time. (Def)
