![]() Notice that you DON’T have to meet the tech requirements for the incoming card, it just has to be the right tech level and cost. Also notice that the card you play here comes from your codex, not your hand, so a) you don’t even go down in cards overall from playing this and b) you can use your entire codex as a toolbox to get whatever you want instantly, without even waiting to draw it. ![]() This is a great card for combo players who want to do ridiculous things. There are a bunch of uses you can get out of that bounce, and a bunch of uses you can get from something else arriving. You’re bouncing one of your units to your hand and playing another. This one requires a lot of thinking and planning to use well. That alone is very powerful, but this spell also catches opposing exhausted units in a time web that keeps them from attacking, patrolling, or using exhaust abilities for a turn. Readying one of your units means you can attack with it, ready it, and then either attack AGAIN or patrol with it. This spell of Geiger’s is also about being Present and ready: The Tower add-on can hit it, but Nullcraft will still get to deal its 1 damage at the same time. It’s even immune to lots of spells that opponents would like to use on it. Only ground forces with anti-air can hit it back, or other fliers. Nullcraft can be a headache for some opponents because it threatens to deal 1 damage to anything you want every turn and will rarely get hit back by what it attacks. Because of this, the Present spec has more access to haste than any other non-red spec. Geiger is very much about doing things now, in the Present, as opposed to the past or future. Or if you have a unit with runes on it (time runes for example), then you can trash it to immediately get it back with however many runes it starts with. If you have a unit with haste, you can attack with it, trash it with his ability, then return it to play and attack with it again. That means it gets cleared of any damage on it and it clears off any -1/-1 runes it might have had too. As a general game rule, when it comes back into play it’s treated as a totally new, fresh copy so it arrives ready (not exhausted!) and loses any extra baggage it might have had. ![]() One use of his max level ability is that you can attack with a unit, then trash it and return it to play so you can patrol with it. That’s kind of a theme of the purple faction though: requires a lot of clever tricks to be able to play well. At max level, his ability is pretty tricky and has several non-obvious uses. Geiger helps you get to new technology faster by discarding the old, and drawing a new card. He is the Present hero of purple’s faction. While the Vortoss race has become unstuck in time and is both in our future and our past, Geiger is in the here and now. Ever since he was a boy, Geiger loved fiddling with watches and other timepieces, so it was a natural field of study for him as he grew as a scientist. Through his temporal research, Max Geiger made contact with the Vortoss race and is now their emissary.
