The deck

Two copies of each of fifteen cards, plus Orla outside the draw pile.

All ordinary cards are Standard and nonexclusive; Orla is Rare. Minions have no type and no defence. Their costs are in mana.

Stowaway puts a Plinth Mouse on the board at the start of the match. It is not drawn and does not take a place in the deck.

What it drops

700 wood, 175 each of stone, glass, coffee and mana, and 280 gold, if you win.

Stowaway: at the start of the match, summon a Plinth Mouse

Deck master 30
Orla, Keeper of the TrolleyRare

Orla hauls surviving treasures out of rooms that are falling apart, including treasures that object to being hauled. She carries her trolley’s missing wheel around her neck and refuses to abandon anything useful. A grand title will not get you out of lifting, and being an actual portrait is only a temporary excuse.

    Plinth MouseStandard

    A mouse lives beneath a salvaged plinth and considers its hollow base her home. She defends it with small, determined bites whenever somebody reaches underneath. Moving the plinth is perfectly acceptable, provided nobody expects her to help or contribute to the rent.

    Minion 2 1
    Chosen-One UnderstudyStandard

    An aspiring champion has inherited a ceremonial sword and instructions that disagree about nearly everything.

    Emergency TeacupStandard

    A walking teacup guards the salvaged crockery against careless hands. She takes chipped china personally and meets anyone reaching for her companions with an angry little charge. Tea service continues under her supervision, although guests quickly learn to ask before picking anything up.

    Queue MarshalStandard

    The former carpet defender now organizes the evacuees into a line and stands in front of its smaller members. She keeps pushing crowds away from them while issuing firm instructions about personal space. Anyone attempting to argue their way past discovers that she is quite willing to hold up the entire evacuation.

    Minion 3 1
    Doom-Bell ApprenticeStandard

    An apprentice bellringer rescued the warning bell from a ruined tower and now carries it herself. She swings hard enough to make sure everyone hears it. Stopping the bell is a separate skill, which nearby volunteers tend to learn with their foreheads.

    Minion 3 2
    Still-Life GooseStandard

    A goose has escaped from a still life and refuses to resume standing among the fruit. She patrols the abandoned arrangement, hissing at anyone who approaches with a replacement bowl. Restoring the exhibit requires handling an angry goose, which explains why the pears are now being displayed alone.

    Brooding Window SitterStandard

    Exhibition DuelistStandard

    A ceremonial swordswoman controls passage through the fencing exhibit. She greets intruders politely, explains the challenge, and gives them ample opportunity to turn around. Her courtesy lasts throughout the fight, making it particularly irritating to discover how much better she is at this.

    A minotaur has rebuilt the souvenir shelves into a labyrinth and knows every turn. Visitors trying to avoid the merchandise keep finding her waiting beside another display. Asking for directions gets you a perfectly accurate route with several opportunities to purchase a commemorative spoon.

    Minion 5 3
    Apocalypse Souvenir DragonStandard

    A dragon hoards souvenirs of disasters their original owners survived. Cracked plates and ugly ornaments receive the fierce protection normally reserved for royal treasure.

    Flying indoors makes you a cleaning problem.

    Minion 2 1
    Ceiling-Dusting WitchStandard

    A witch cleans the upper galleries with a broom long enough to reach their highest corners. She works from the floor and prods anything that refuses to come down. Creatures hiding in the rafters should leave before she decides the noise means a larger brush is needed.
