Aestarian Legacy
Hello, everyone. This is the latest pet project of mine, and I’m ready to share it. This fanmade expansion I have worked on consists of +80 cards, with 13 cards for each faction. In addition, this expansion will introduce a new mechanic, which will be elaborated on below.
New Mechanic: Relinquish: X
Minions with Relinquish are minions that can function as spells. A player can either summon a Relinquish minion, or play it as a spell by targeting a minion already in play to activate the X effect. Using the Relinquish minion as a spell will cost the same as summoning it as a minion. (If the minion’s cost is increased/decreased by an effect, so is the cost of casting the card as a spell.)
For instance, a minion can have “Relinquish: Give a minion +1/+1.” In this case, the minion can either be summoned as a minion, or played on a minion as a spell that gives the target minion +1/+1. Again, using the card as a spell will cost the same as summoning the card as a minion. Each faction will be receiving 1 Relinquish minion. Now let’s take a look at the cards.
