Elysium

$59.95

Take on the role of an ambitious demigod who is trying to claim a place at the summit of Mount Olympus. Recruit heroes, acquire artifacts, undertake quests and earn the favour of the gods. When your allies fulfill their destiny, they enter Elysium, and contribute to your legend. Once all the tales are written, a single demigod will join the Olympians.

The goal of the game is to earn as many victory points as possible. Victory points are won mostly with the legends that players will write through the cards that they have transferred to their Elysium, but also by employing the powers that they have assembled throughout the game by the means of specific cards.

With Magic the Gathering’s Innistrad right around the corner, I have decided to do something I have never done. I am am going to review a hand full cards from each color. This will most likely take me 5 days and I will make mistakes. The only thing left for me to do is select which color is first. I think I will go Black, Blue, Green, Red, White and anything else.

In black I do see some potential for card quality. My favorite cards in Black are, Blood Gift Demon, Liliana of the Veil, Endless Ranks, Morkhurt Banshee, and Skirsdag Piest.

All I have to say is a 5/4 flyer for 5 is good. In the current environment he is not that good, but keep in mind we will be changing things very soon. But I doubt he will replace any of the current staples in Standard.
