Alteil Set 10: Mini Proxies

Set 3 was memorable because of the introduction of proxies. The 5-star cards of the set featured Animus (Lawtia), Limier (Refess), Oseon (Falkow), and Pullermia (Gowen) which allowed players to play two spheres because of their open skills, adding 3 sphere levels to another color aside from the sphere they belong to.

Set 10 tries to continue the multi-sphering trend introduced by Set 3, and somewhat by Set 9 with the introduction of cards that I would describe as mini-proxies. These cards are only 1-star and 2-stars so they should not be that difficult to obtain. And they all have a common open skill of adding 1 sphere level to both spheres that the card belongs to.

I've seen all but Wandering Bard in action in Folrart. Crest Saboteur Knight seems to be a favorite, in tandem with Animus in opens for decks which make use of Estaforse, Bringer, and Belus.

I would imagine that Urgant decks would make use of Exiled Military Aide but I haven't really seen one in play.

Mediator of Sun and Moon is good for Lawtia Revival decks with Limier and Healing Priest. It has also seen some action in Verlaat & Eskatia decks.

Someone tried playing Folrart Flame Swordsman in an Ermitage based deck, but I didn't really see that deck's potential.

One would think that these cards would be a great Stronghold counter. But since they are played first, it is actually Stronghold of Chaos that serves as a great counter to these cards. But for players who cannot afford 5-star proxies or Galdirea SS opens, then these mini-proxy cards serve as an alternative way of multi-sphere play.

Have fun gaming and testing. Feel free to give your comments, ideas, and suggestions below too.
