Publisher FAQ: The Imago
Publisher FAQ entry for the Gencon Promo arcana card The Imago, reproduced from meromorphgames.com. Its printed "Delay" text is the same as the front of the card above.
Q: How does The Imago work?
A: You can always play either of your fates on The Imago. 7s played on The Imago only count as 1 fade icon when calculating whether the card is about to fade, instead of their normal value of 3 fade icons. This has a few unusual uses. For example, The Imago means it is possible to have far more visible 7s in play than otherwise, which can help other cards that care about visible fates such as The Ghost or The Prophet. Additionally, a player holding a 7 may be incentivized to play it on The Imago, which may mean players that choose not to play on The Imago are not holding on to a 7.
Gaps and Notes
- The card's back (Cycle) text is taken from the card scan. The publisher's FAQ page does not restate the Cycle text, so no FAQ clarification exists for it in the source used here.
- The fade icon on the card is a diamond-shaped symbol. The publisher's FAQ writes it as a symbol, and it is rendered here as "fade icon".
