Welcome to another exciting round of BattleCON! I'm your host, ActingPower. Today's competitor's are:

Gutter Owl as Cherri Seneca, the girl recalled to life, cursed with a mind-shattering void, and

Alien Rope Burn as Arec Russel Zane, the child of the Sorceror Baron, the young prodigy whose only goals are love and ease.

How will Arec's mind control fare against a girl with a mind lost to the deafening abyss? Can Cherri overcome the subtle manipulations of the boy wonder? That is our story. Let us begin!





Everyone's invited to chat about the match: what you like, what you don't like, how these two screwed up, whatever. Please, feel free to reveal all of your best strategies so we can crush you later. :allears:

Cherri, Arec, send me your starting discards and finishers. Best of luck to both of you! :)

Also, waiting to see about that pull before I submit a pair.

Additionally, I want to make sure y'all caught the recent errata to Arec's Fear token. Fear only negates Start of Beat effects now, not End of Beat.

Whuuuups. Misinterpreted that, then.

The leftmost Arec is the real one; the rightmost is just a clone.
