Secrets of the city - New Cards!

Seasonal cards

As part of the Secrets of the City Season we are releasing another six new Cards over the the next two weeks! These Cards will be be available through packs in the Shard Shop.

New Cards - Available 28th of May

Monika Kováč

A hungry devourer of knowledge, Monika has made it her un-life’s mission to chronicle the complete history of her clan. Recently, she has developed a deep obsession with Richard de Worde, seeking to document anything she can about him.

Key Card Information:

• Series: 5

• Blood: 7

• Power: 10

• Ability: Can always be played Prince or Knight.

Monika offers an easy way to get a card without Support into a scoring space, while also helping maintain pressure if your Rooks are taken out. She also has both the Violent and Elitist tags, giving you flexible options when choosing buffs.

Ethan

Beneath his quiet Mayfair bookshop lies a darker secret: his sprawling personal collection of ancient and powerful tomes. Among his greatest treasures are books bound in the skin of his enemies - and he has compiled quite the collection.

Key Card Information:

• Series: 4

• Blood: 2

• Power: 0

• Ability: When you Defeat an enemy card: Turn it into a Skin-bound Book and add it to your hand. (Once per turn)

• Skin-bound Book:

  • Series: 4

  • Blood: 1

  • Power: 1

  • Ability: This has the ability and tags of the skinned card.

Ethan allows you to access enemy card abilities at potentially massively reduced Blood costs. The value of this effect changes dramatically depending on what you manage to steal - while a 1/1 Marissa the Butcher may not be especially useful, a 1/1 Nafula Juma certainly would be. The stolen card is also removed from the game, having been transformed into the book, providing a potent source of disruption.

Fiona Millar

Key Card Information:

• Series: 3

• Blood: 1

• Power: 2

• Ability: On Reveal: Discard the top card of your deck.

Fionna adds an interesting tool to Discard decks. She offers a powerful upside by allowing you to activate Discard payoffs without losing card advantage, while also thinning your deck - meaning that, if you avoid discarding your win condition, you become more likely to draw it. The downside, however, is equally potent... as not knowing what you’re going to Discard is a significant drawback.

New Cards - Available 4th of june

Ian Dunsirn

Embodying the motto 'nothing is certain except death and taxes', Ian is sent out by the Dunsirn family bank to 'check' on extended members of the family. Most recently, he has been sent to London to ensure Elizabeth Dunsirn makes good on the loan she took out.

Key Card Information:

• Series: 5

• Blood: 7

• Power: 3

• Ability: While in Play: This has +2 Power for each card Murdered this game.

  
  

Murder decks often lack exciting late game plays, Ian offers a good late game payoff to having committed fully to murder, giving you a large amount of power to take a scoring space.

Antoni Mazur

A ghoul employed at Ethan’s bookshop, by day he attends to the few customers who stop by. By night, he assists Ethan in his sinister rituals to strip the skin from his enemies. He works tirelessly in the hope that one day Ethan will finally grant him the Embrace he was promised…

Key Card Information:

• Series: 4

• Blood: 3

• Power: 3

• Ability: End of Round: If this has 0 Power Murder it to create a Mortal Acolyte in each empty space.

  Otherwise Suffer -1 Power.

A ticking time bomb with the potential to create a huge number of Mortal Acolytes if left uninterrupted, Antoni can lead to a strong payoff in the right deck. However, due to the nature of his ability, he is particularly susceptible to disruption. That said, other cards can help Antoni reach his full potential sooner…

Jacqueline

The Malkavian card voted for by players during the Party to Remember chronicle.

Embraced by accident during one of Molly Cybin’s wild parties, Jacqueline is alone, confused, and terrified by her new monstrous existence. The sense of impending doom that comes from being hunted and fed upon by vampires has never left her, only worsened by her clan bane.

Key Card Information:

• Series: 3

• Blood: 2

• Power: 3

• Ability: End of Round: Inflict -2 Power on a random card.

Jacqueline provides a repeatable way to trigger Power-loss effects such as Miss Hidaka or Charles Crane. Since she can target any card (if you get lucky) she can also help weaken more difficult threats by undermining enemy Pawns.
