GODFALL: THE FIVE

GODFALL: THE FIVE
"TO NEVER LIVE OR TO DIE FOREVER"

 THE RED KING

The Red King is the embodiment of war and vengeance, the god of wrath, and in a land of unconquered peoples is the most powerful agent of change in the world of Fulcrum. He is the leader of the Five and rules all he can with a iron fist of flame. Since invading Fulcrum, he has taken to the role of the rightful king quite seriously, and has set himself upon a throne of fire in the Mountains of Nor.

From there, he leads vast armies to conquer all that the sky touches, and even something things beneath the rock and the sea, with an army of its own peoples. While other members of the Five wage war with nothing but monstrosities and abominations, The Red King prefers to enlist and "evolve" the Orgs, the Rorrani warriors, the Alustran defectors, and even the Minotaurs of Nor into his Red Legion.

The Red King values earned loyalty, practiced discipline, and ambitious ferocity, but he only loves two things; the drumbeats of war and the love of his Queen.


FULCRUM: GODFALL STORYLINE

FULCRUM: A PEOPLE UNCONQUERED

Fulcrum is a land unconquered; or more correctly, a lot of lands unconquered, or even more exactly, a lot of peoples unconquered. The people of this land of pride, spirit, and will that is so unusually resilient and indomitable that there are few, if no, instances of total surrender from any peoples in the plane's history. From the Alustran society of strict egalitarian chivalry to the unbreakable village communities of Nymble animal-folk in Pacea to the rebellious, rambunctious rogues of the Free-Mercant Nations to the Org barbarians of the Fire-Jungle of Nor to the dying race of Rorrani warriors that roam the Org lands of Guluk-Naar to the warring liches and vampire of Lacrozia to undying wilderness of the Wurmwood to cackling covens of the Witch Marshes to the ancient culture of the Hexellian Empire and even with the strange recluses of the Ring Isle, no culture or people have given way to an opposing force; in fact, most wars end with a settlement between the two forces that has the victor showing respect and admiration for the defeated foe. The strange thing  is that, in a world of heroes and villains, they don't worship their gods; they despise them.

MATT'S DRAFT DECK #1 ROTTING TESTOSTERONE

PLANESWALKERS OF MIDGARD PRESENTS
MATT'S DRAFT DECK #1 ROTTING TESTOSTERONE

Into the fourth day of testing, we saw a return to form from the first day of serious testing, and both of the decks introduced the test pull were a serious pull away from Justin's Pilfering Pirates Deck. Matt found success with a creature heavy ramp-up of black/green.

A note about some of the overall feelings I have about the repeat of black/green in this draft; there was a lot of mana ramp in the first iteration of the set and, overtime, I've worked hard to phase it out. Yet, between some very solid black creatures and some solid green mana ramp it is exceptionally easy to ramp up some nasty mechanics. One such mechanic is Corrupt (When this creature enters the battlefield, gain control of target creature with a lower mana cost then this creature); and this mechanic may be a little overpowered when combined with other abilities. I decided to make it a black/blue mechanic that would help define witches/nullnauts. I'm considering options to balance out this mechanic which gives black a perhaps too strong creature mechanic...speaking of which, vampires! The Vampire Poet and Vampire Lover combo are a favorite in the draft, but so much so that I am thinking about whether it is overpowered. Black is a powerful color right now and time will tell how I balance this out...

And without further ado, lets discuss a deck with a record of 4 wins and 0 losses, challenging Justin's pirates as the draft heavyweight.

JUSTIN'S DRAFT DECK #1 PILFERING PIRATES

PLANESWALKERS OF MIDGARD PRESENTS
JUSTIN'S DRAFT DECK#1 PILFERING PIRATES

As explained in Zach's Draft Deck we finally started doing some serious testing and, if our first night of testing was illuminating, our second day of illuminated an entire new spectrum of light and information yet explored in the r & d phase of Fulcrum. The colors explored, alongside Zach's deck, were my attempt at a white, blue, and red deck, but the clear winner was Justin's deck attempting to take advantage of blue-red pirate mechanic.

A little note before we get into the breakdown of Justin's deck; when I created the sister mechanics of Pirate X (When this creature deals damage to a player, that player puts the top X cards of their library into their graveyard) and Thief (When this creature deals combat damage to a player, that player discards a card at random, and the creature's controller draws a card) my intent was to create a worthwhile mill-mechanic and a worthwhile loot mechanic that would lead to a great new blue-red synergy in the set. It worked; it worked far too well in limited and this led to the slight neutering of all pirates.

And without further ado, lets talk about the deck that with a record of 4 wins and 0 losses is the current heavy weight champion.
