Today as
promised, perhaps the best new card in First
Edition. My favorite of them all, the Common
Gearsmith Item (gear) Spiky Atlasphere.
Cheap and mega effective. That’s the best way to
describe Spiky Atlasphere. For a cost of 2 with a
paltry threshold of 2 you get a “reverse
Pettifogger” of sorts. Actually, it’s a lot better!
First, give your Character +1 strength. Then use
said Character as a solo attacker. If it isn’t
removed from battle in some way (stolen, bounced or
direct damaged), it will do one of the following: 1)
destroy all Characters assigned to block it or 2)
punch it’s damage through to the target Faction or
Location unabated.
What would you do against it? If it’s attached to a
Micromajig, do you just keep letting 2 damage
through like one of those annoying Covert guys?
Probably, since blocking it will only cause the loss
of a Character to you while preventing 2 damage.
Then again if you had your own 1/1/3 token, it might
be worth it. What if it’s attached to a good solid
Character like Scout? A (pumped) 4/3/4 is nothing to
sneeze at and neither is taking 4 damage. So do you
continue chump blocking? For how long?
I’m sure you get my point. This card PWNS!
Now to link it up to yesterday’s card, Carnival King
(as if you hadn’t already put 2 and 2 together for
this one!). Pay 3, Deplete Carnival King, pick the
Character with Spiky Atlasphere. All Characters that
can block do, and die. Remaining Characters stomp
guts!
In limited, this card’s Da Bomb! In constructed,
this card’s Da Bomb!
Limited: 5/5

Spiky
Atlasphere
This card is amazing. It has an effect and then it
has what it does. It's effect is to destroy any and
all cards blocking it. What it does is it makes the
attached character functionally un-block-able.
Admittedly this isn't totally true. Your opponent
may choose to block, but they'll be using their
cheap characters for it. Or something like
Recapitulating Apparition or Pettifogger. When
combo'd with yesterday's card it becomes 'destroy
all un-depleted characters your opponent controls' I
wouldn't complain about that.
Constructed: 4.5/5
Limited: 5/5
