Changes: Escape

Revision as of 03:05, 17 February 2020

Template:Infobox Keyword Escape is a keyword shared between each of the 5 monocolored civilizations.

However, it is primarily featured in the Light Civilization.

Details

It is a destruction substitution ability that puts a card from your shields into your hand in order to save your creature.

This ability is based on the effect of Pure Unicorn (and later, Javeleon, Beast Lance).

It can be combined with cards that add additional shields to continue protecting your creature.

As power decreasing effects generally last until the end of the turn, it would continually destroy the creature as a state-based action regardless of how many shields the creature's owner returns to his hand.

While it can't be used with the Shield trigger keywoird, it can be paired with Strike Back.

It has a variant, True Escape.
