Rating

A 2-cost exhausting Skill that converts any number of hand cards into Minion Sacrifice tokens. It excels at turning dead weight — debris, spent Power shells, weak Attacks — into defensive value for minions. Because it exhausts, it is a one-time effect, but converting multiple cards simultaneously is powerful. Best used in minion-focused decks alongside cards like BEGONE! to fully transform a hand of junk into minion assets.

How to Use

• Convert a hand full of debris or unplayable cards all at once to improve hand quality
• With multiple minions on board, distributing shields dramatically increases their survival rate
• Save it for the turn when dead cards are most numerous and minion count is highest, since it exhausts

Good Synergies

• BEGONE!: pairs offensive (minion charge) with defensive (shield) roles; maximises the value of junk cards handed to minions
• Hard Landing: flooding your hand with debris normally hurts — GUARDS!!!! converts that debris into minion shields
• Summon cards: more minions means more shield recipients; GUARDS!!!! value peaks in minion-centric decks
