What is better than killing enemies? Not even encountering any in the first place! When no treachery whatsoever shows up from the encounter deck, than how essential is A Test of Will (Core) again?

Spirit has been perceived as the most powerful sphere out there and many fellowships don't leave their homes without a little or a lot support from the blue cardpool. Now that's a good and a bad thing.

But in the beginning I have to lay some groundwork for future articles first and so I shall begin with deckbuilding from my point of view.
