An excellent card for redploying Aun'Shi or any other Ethereal units after they've already fought and retreated to HQ, either triggering another combat or leaving them readied at a different planet for the next turn.  Combos nicely with cards that gives a Tau unit the Ethereal trait.

Will be even better when there's some event recursion

EDIT:  and 2 Shields can't be sniffed at.

Obvious analyses, as you say. Works best fot Aun'shi, and can target the warlord to create an extra battle for the turn. 2 shields plus a decent effect makes it a must include for Aun'shi at x3.

Probably not good for a Shadowsun deck though.

This card is a funny card to rate as it differs extremely per Tau commander how good it is.

- For Shadowsun this card would be a 2/5

- For Aun'Shi this card would be a 5/5

Making this card a:

3.5/5 (Rounded up to a 4/5 if you will)

can target the warlord to create an extra battle

Quoted for truth. Am I going too far to call this Aun'Shi's actual signature event?

5/5

Can you use this card to move Ethereals from HQ to a planet?

edit: duh stupid me, missed that the awnser to my question was at the top of the page.....

Kymera Den with 2 shields. 5/5

So I'm assuming that on those rare occasions in a more tactical long game, where the first planet ends up with no units on it and would otherwise go uncontested and be removed from the game, that you can just use this to ship any Ethereal over at the start of the first planet battle and sneak a first planet win? And the same with Orbital City?

Yes, as with any situation, if there are no units and you can transfer or ambush a unit in, you will win the first planet insofar as your opponent doesn't do anything to counter it.

As for Orbital City, you can only do that with an ethereal unit from your HQ and since it's a battle at the first planet, the likelyhood of you having a unit at HQ still, is low. But it can be done ofc.

Ah, good point on the Orbital City/HQ thing. Still, yet another reason Kauyon seems amazing, especially if you can sneak the first planet and follow that up with Orbital City to get that winning unit back to another planet with a Walord battle to come.

Next chapter pack in the post is Aun'Shi, looking forward to getting this build going...
