I know this is uncouth for me to post, since I just became a playtester, but clicking the link just for giggles showed something a little unexpected:

Did anyone else find this?

Now I know that you guys are big fans if Sentinels, but that's taking it a bit too far. 


Just assume I'm always doing that.

Damn it, Ronway!

UXM clearly thought the topic was about the OP being metal plated.  Right?  Right?

Does that come with the $40,000 playtester package?

Wait, paying $40,000 for Playtesting unlocks advanced mode?

for 40k you'd better get precognition playtester. I think getting access to cards before they are even made seems fair.

I'm picturing Overlord Caspit and her Raptor Bot army.  Chompswarm!

Oh, so when you mentioned the God-Emperor of Man, you meant Ra.  Well, he is a god, so we just have to crown him Emperor.  ("I'm Emperor Clobbersaurus!")

Who or what is Caspit? I've been wondering that ever since I saw the card, but can only presume it's something to do with Unity, given the card's art and text (fluff and mechanical).

Unity is Caspit, it's her name.

EDIT: From the bio her full name is Devra Thalia Caspit

Ahh her surname...okay. I had a vague recollection of reading somewhere that her name was Devra, but had no idea what her surname was. I had seen "Caspit" as being a male first name and ha no clue who it was...plus I seem to recall all the other Freedom Tower locations have the other heroes' first names or hero aliases in them, which makes "Caspit" a bit of an odd one out.

I can't tell if your question is "Who is Frost?"  In case it is, Absolute Zero's civilian name is Ryan Frost.

Oh I knew that. I was just telling Ameena that there's another surnamed card, evidently not in the clearest way.

Freedom Tower has three last names:  Frost's Cryo Chamber, Caspit's Playground, and Dr. Stinson's Secondary Lab.

It has two titles, The Wraith's Arsenal and Legacy's Landing Pad.

No first names are used on card titles in the deck.

I knew there was another surname but I'd forgotten, and don't have Vengeance yet, and have only just remembered that I have the Vengeance proofs right here on my iPad that I could have checked out. Thanks.

We've only fought there once or twice since getting Vengeance so I couldn't remember all the cards. I do recall that there's one for each of the Freedom Five...plus Unity, it turns out ;). And then other stuff like the security room and all those bloody Entry Points :(.
