Turncoat - the champion gambler

arrow

Turncoat!!! is an interesting event that rarely results in exactly what the event player wants.

To play it, the player picks one champion in play. The champion's owner rolls 2d4, and then faces a choice. Discard the roll amount (2-8, average of 5) in cards from hand, pool, formation, or a combination of those places, OR put that targetted champion into the pool of another player (all attachments go with the champion, but discarded champion and attachments go to the owner's discard pile). It could be into the pool of the event player, but most often it will be into the pool of a third player not involved in that action, as few players want to reward the person playing the event (in a two player game, this can effectively steal a champion for the event player if the opponent doesn't opt to discard the 2d4 cards).

Since this card takes away the card from your hand (when you play it) and often doesn't actually help the person playing it (since other players usually get the champion), it is pretty poor for most games, and will only be seen in fun decks.
