I'm pretty much dropping the link and running today, but here's some emblems for a couple fan-races I've made, but don't have the time to go into detail on now. These ones were all requests from other players, which was entertaining because my internal commentary went something like "Ah... So that's what your fetish is.".

First are the Starfallen, descended from noble families exiled from the Seraphim long ago. So, yeah, fallen angel princesses. Their speciality comprises of "Vanishing", in which they remove cards in the discard piles (or in some occassions, decks) from the game, semi-permenantly (the only way to return them currently is one of their own Lightbringers). They don't have a lot of early-game power, but as the game draws out they gain more and more of an edge by eliminating important resources. Making it to deck refresh is essentially their win condition, at which point they've decided the entire composition of the deck- And skewed it to benefit them.

Next are the Dragonborn, half-dragons possessed of mighty flame and fang. Their mode of operation is one of "weighted Sky Shards", where they aim to gather Sky Shards with specific names- In this case, ones with "Dragon's" in their name (this includes "Dragon's Talon" from the original game), although I've also crafted two additional ones for them. But their playstyle itself has an identity all its own; They focus on destroying their own Sky Shards for benefits. Their effects are worded in such a way that if you can't destroy your targetted Sky Shard, you still get the benefit, and they combo this with cards to prevent the destruction of Sky Shards to ensure they always get the best deal.

I'll try to go into more detail on the two of them later, especially since I've finished designing my first expansion, consisting of 3 new races (Fey, Starfallen, Dragonborn), Racial Actions for all 3 and all of the original Races, and a handful of new Sky Shards. Until next time!
