| Grasp from Beyond |
Charm |
A whisper slips through the veil, thin as a needle and cold as the void between stars. From the darkness beyond sight, something reaches—not with malice, but with a hunger older than creation.

| Rampart Delver |
Champion |
They scale the city’s highest walls not to defend them, but to listen to what the stone remembers. Beneath every rampart lies a buried secret—forgot sieges, sealed gates, and cracks where enemies once slipped through. The Rampart Delver knows that the strongest fortress is only as secure as the stories buried in its foundation. |

Once per turn, when you reveal a Ward: this Champion gets **+3 DEF** until end of turn. |

If you control a Champion of a **different element**, draw 1 card, then discard 1 card. |

If you control a Champion of a **different element**, draw 1 card, then discard 1 card. |
| Rift Tax |
Charm |

| Rift-Hung Scavenger |
Champion |
Rift-Hung Scavengers haunt the edges of torn realities, clinging to the splintered seams where worlds bleed into one another.

Wherever the sky fractures and the ground forgets its shape, their ragged silhouettes gather—patient, starving, and eternal. |
**Effect:**
When this Champion is retired, you may return 1 Stage 1 Champion card from your discard to your hand. |
| Riftblade Initiate |

**Requirement:**
You control a Tide Champion.
**Effect:**
Choose 1 **Stage 1** Champion. Return it to its owner’s hand. |

| Searing Follow-Through |

When you deploy this Champion, you may discard 1 card. If you do, draw 1 card. |
| Signalbroker Engineer |
Champion |
In the neon arteries of the megacity, the Signalbroker Engineer listens to the language of machines as if it were prayer.

Where others see static, she hears opportunity—and rewrites the signal to favor the highest bidder. |

| Silttrap Barrier |
Ward |
Where the river runs thick with silt, the Barrier waits—an unseen snare beneath placid waters. Armies have marched into its shallows, only to be swallowed by the sucking mire as the current hardens to stone around them. What appears a gentle crossing is, in truth, the river’s patient hunger made manifest. |
**Requirement:**
You control no Champions.
**Effect:**
When an opponent’s Champion declares an attack, you may reveal this Ward. If that attacker is **Stage 1**, retire it. |
| Skyshear Courier |
Champion |
They ride the knife-edge winds where mountains dare not rise, bearing sealed words between cities that never meet the ground. Storms part at their passing, as if the sky itself respects their sworn routes. It is said a Skyshear Courier would sooner drop their own shadow than the message bound to their back. |
**Effect:**
When this Champion retires a Champion by battle, it may attack 1 additional time this turn. (Only once per turn.) |

Once per turn, when this Champion attacks: you may switch 1 opponent’s Champion’s mode. |
| Slateback Bruiser |

*No finesse. No fear. Just the weight of a mountain deciding to swing.* |
| Slipstream Edgecutter |
Champion |
A blur of blades and borrowed wind, skating on micro-eddies that only exist for a heartbeat. When a Gear locks in, the Arena can barely track the angle of attack. |
**Effect:**
While you control a Gear, this Champion gets **+2 ATK**. |
| Slipstream Rescue |
Charm |
When the sky fractures into screaming currents of wind and aether, only the Slipstream Rescue dare to fly.

To see their contrails cutting through the chaos is to know that hope still moves faster than the tempest. |

An opponent’s Champion declared an attack this turn.
**Effect:**

| Static Latch |
Ward |
When the storm first learned to bite, it left behind the Static Latch—an unseen clasp of crackling force that binds metal to metal and will to will. Inventors prize it as a marvel of arcane engineering, though few understand that it hungers for tension, feeding on every spark of conflict. Once fastened, it tightens with every surge, locking its target in a cage of living lightning. |

*It does not advance. It does not retreat. It remains.* |
| Stoneplate Rig |
Charm |
Forged from quarry-forged slabs and riveted with the patience of dwarven masons, the Stoneplate Rig grinds forward where softer engines fail.

**Requirement:**
Deploy only if you control a Gravel Champion.

| Street-Signal Runner |
Champion |
It runs the neon backstreets where the air tastes like ozone and data. When the Foundry cast it, its footsteps left brief HUD glyphs on the ground—routes only it can see. |

Champion |
With shield braced like a harbor wall, the Defender lets each assault crash and recede, studying the rhythm of the strike. |
*Stand fast. Let the wave spend itself.* |
| Tideglass Bulwark |
Ward |
Forged where the sea devours the shore, the Tideglass Bulwark stands as both bastion and warning. Its crystalline walls shimmer with the memories of every wave that has struck and shattered upon it.

| Undertow Screen |
Ward |
They raised the Undertow Screen along the reef’s edge, a veil of woven kelp and whispering wards that shimmered like heat above deep water.

For beneath its wavering surface sleeps a current older than storms, patient and always hungry. |

| Wind-Skimmer Boots |
Charm |
Wind-Skimmer Boots are stitched with sky-silk and lined with feathers taken from the high aeries where the wind never rests. Those who wear them do not simply run—they borrow the breath of the horizon, skimming a hand’s width above stone and sea alike. It is said the boots remember every gust they have ridden, and in moments of peril, they lean toward escape before their wearer even thinks to flee. |
**Requirement:**
Deploy only if you control a Gale Champion.
**Effect:**
Once per turn during your Battle Phase: discard 1 card. Choose 1 Champion you control with **12 or less ATK**. That Champion may attack **1 additional time** this turn. (A Champion can’t gain more than 1 additional attack per turn this way.) |
