Horde-Crone (Nemesis)

Horde-Crone, front

• Name: Horde-Crone.
• Red badge (top left): 60.
• Ability, Unleash: Shuffle the trogg discard pile into the trogg deck. Draw a card from the trogg deck and place it into play.
• Increased Difficulty, Rules: All troggs have three life instead of two life.
• Additional Rules:
  • There are three types of troggs in the trogg deck: Orps, Yuds, and Zoms.
  • When a trogg enters play, resolve the effect on that card equal to the number of troggs in play of that trogg's type. The first trogg has no effect.

Card Notes

• Card layout: The red badge (health on the nemesis and minion cards) and the bottom-right circle are reproduced as printed numbers. The scans do not label the bottom-right circle further, so it is not explained here.
• Aether symbol: The cards print the aether currency as a black circle with a white swirl, shown in this document as (aether symbol). The scans do not spell out the name; the name is taken from the base Aeon's End game, whose cards use the same symbol.
• Breach mage bottom row: Each breach mage card shows a row of cards along the bottom, each reading 20. The scans do not label them, so they are transcribed as printed and not explained further.
• Breach-level icons: The top edge of each breach mage shows icons numbered I to IV. The scans do not spell out what they mean, so they are not transcribed. Z'hana's level I icon is a red circle with a slash.
• Mage backs: The backs of the Nym, Reeve and Z'hana cards carry flavour text only. Nym's back was read at full size; the other two were read at page scale.
• Flavour text: The italic flavour text on the cards is omitted.
• Not included: The scans do not include the Depths divider card, which is not transcribed.
• Edition: The wiki states that its scans are of the second edition. This document does not check them against a first-edition printing.
