      @IllumineerAcademy 9 місяців тому

      Unfortunately no bodyguard, I think only steel and amber have that right now. I think Donald would be a great add especially since the deck likes to sit right at 4 ink. Other than that maybe adding in some improvise just for cheap card draw. Still had a lot of fun playing the deck and when it hits it really hits!
