Legions of Death Deluxe expansion 2 has been announced and the Necrons arrive. Like the enslavement dial for choosing other faction cards. Standard Bearer looks good for other factions but I'm not sure if it will have space in an IA deck.

Very interesting.

Love the general theme of slaving other faction, reducing HP, and returning cards from discard.

Curious about Extermination:

Your next reployment turn is your next option to deploy this turn or you have to forfeit all deployment options next turn?

The end of the current deployment phase, so it would be your last action. But at 5 cost, it should be your last action anyway. Very expensive

I'm not very familiar with the tabletop game rules, but how could necrons "enslave" other races? Aren't they supposed to exterminate any life forms on sight? Or their overall behaviour was changed in the latest codex?

It's been changed a LOT. They have Necron Lords with personalities now.

Your next reployment turn is your next option to deploy this turn or you have to forfeit all deployment options next turn?

The answer is sort of "both."

Remember that in the Deploy phase, players alternate taking Deployment Turns. During a Deployment Turn, players may:

1. Deploy a card.

2. Trigger an Action.

3. Pass.

With the caveat being that if you pass (#3), you may not take another Deployment Turn that phase, no matter how many more cards your opponent deploys or actions they trigger.

By forcing you to "pass" on your next Deployment Turn, this card stops you from doing pretty much anything else (other than Interrupts and Reactions) for the rest of the phase. But, as wyrm187 says, you're going to play this as late in the phase as possible, anyway.

Fluff-wise, I guess slavery by use of Mindshackle scarabs.

I would have thought the neutral card "Backlash" would've raised some eyebrows..

I think Backlash will become something but "elite" is not prevalent enough yet for it to be a hame changer right away.

I thought of that, but still, mind-control does not equal enslavement.

The other thing that hides in this os the release date, most likely in the middle of the second cycle, just like AGoT 2.0 No more waiting a minimum of 6 months between deluxe sets of evergreen cards,

I wonder if Backlash is enough to MAKE "elite" a thing though!

I have a feeling that many players aren't using elites thanks to the prevelance of Klaivex warleader. This card, may change people's builds.
