CARD(s) OF THE WEEK #9 - Support for the iconic vengeful Ira !
Post from last week : Support for the Shapeshifter design I created a while back
Hi again !
Back to basics today, just some - I believe - good support for our beloved Ira.

This support is entirely directed to the Edge of Autumn archetype. The main idea is providing more ways to reequip edge of autumn, and therefore, being able to use Okana scar wraps more often.
Forge Vengeance : a card you don't want to block with cards from hand, since it gives edge back. The trick is that if you block it, edge is back, if you don't, edge is back too. This is the most pushed card I created for Ira and I believe a true Majestic for this archetype, I don't think it's broken by any means though, since you need an edge or vengeance chain link to combo from.
Oath to Vengeance : having a vengeance head jab starter makes turns more fluid, and gives you more chances to, again, equip edge of autumn back. You can also use the effect, and if this card hits, you get edge back, and Okana is still up for a +1 for later. Good value ! Also helps a ton for Forge Vengance !
Clouded in Mist : I took inspiration from warrior's side step cards like twinning blade and provoke for this. This punishes opponents overblocking your vengeance card to deny the Edge reequip, letting you reequip it anyways. it also untaps Okana, so you can use it twice in a turn for pretty good value. This should be at Majestic I think, it's a pretty good expansion slot and you can't play edge ira in sage anyway since we don't have access to Okana. Oh, and it's a Specialization because I don't want to give it to Katsu lol.

That's it for today ! You guys didn't connect with last week's post on shapeshifter, and I can definitely understand why. Support for a class that doesn't really exist isn't the most interesting ! So I'll focus more on support for existing designs and new class/talent combinations that are more realistic ;)
See you next week !
