Malastar is an interesting one, his deck consists almost entirely of crystals, making him adept at purchasing anything he likes within his first few turns. Whether you want to focus your breaches, charge your ability or buy a five-cost spell as early as turn two, Malastar is completely versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of that, his unique spell 'Immolate' gives you an additional way to take advantage, allowing you to gain a charge every time you suffer damage while the spell is prepped. You can easily engineer a situation where every one-damage effect is sent his way, and if you have any decent method of healing him then he effectively gains a couple of free uses of his ability every game, which is his main payoff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e'Gift of AEther' places any spell onto any player's open breach, regardless of cost, and depending on the turn order deck can effectively buy an extra five damage or more inside a round. Pair him with Brama from the base game or any card with a healing effect and watch him feed your allies with spells. A solid mage, perhaps one of the best in the game for those who prefer support mages to damage dealers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Nameless also brings with it two new Nemeses to fight. Blight Lord's play style revolves around manipulating the players' decks by giving them Tainted Jade cards, a gem that grants two AEther at the cost of one health. However, as much as this gives the player a slight boost in buying power, there is also a catch: If the Tainted Jade supply pile runs short, it pushes Blight Lord's Tainted Track up instead, causing suffering to both Gravehold and the players, and eventually could reach a new loss condition if players aren't careful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLuckily, Tainted Jade cards can be returned to their supply pile for two AEther, but without careful balance of purchasing and returning, players could find their turns locked out due to the necessity of keeping the Blight Lord under wraps. An interesting puzzle, and at a difficulty of four presents a natural next step up from the Umbra Titan or Rageborn depending on which core set you start with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWayward One is comparatively more complex in scope. At difficulty seven, she is on par with the highest difficulty Nemeses in the game, with a focus on how the players manage their breaches. Wayward One uses a position chart to denote where their alignment is. If a spell doesn't match Wayward One's alignment when it is cast against him, it only deals half of its intended damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinions from his cards also have alignments that work in the same manner, meaning players will have to watch how they manage their breaches and spells in order to deal the most amount of damage. Wayward One presents an interesting puzzle, one that is significantly more difficult at higher player counts (though somewhat mitigated by using the split player tokens from War Eternal and Legacy) but so rewarding when your planning pays off. A great addition to either base set, but especially the original game whose Nemeses only go up to a five in difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, The Nameless provides a plethora of new market cards as well. Temporal Helix is a relic that effectively copies the best spell on the field, one that can be used instantly in the face of a must-answer threat or saved for an opportunity to throw more damage at the Nemesis. Blaze is the perfect all-in spell, one that any player can contribute towards by putting them into one player's supply pile and unleash in a single volley that can deal 20+ damage in a single turn if left unchecked by the Nemesis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, Scrying Bolt offers the rare ability to check the top cards of the Nemesis deck, allowing you to plan ahead for a round with perfect information. Multiples make defeating Nemeses child's play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_246577\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-246577\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Aeons-End-The-Nameless-Expansion-Cards.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Aeons-End-The-Nameless-Expansion-Cards.jpg\" alt=\"Aeon's End - The Nameless Expansion Cards\" width=\"820\" height=\"500\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cfigcaption id=\"caption-attachment-246577\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"\u003eAeon's End - The Nameless Expansion Cards (Credit: Indie Boards \u0026amp; Cards)\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs The Nameless Worth Purchasing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen comparing the five small box expansions for Aeon's End, you could be forgiven for thinking that this offers a bit less content than others in the rage. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/product\/depths-aeons-end-exp\/\"\u003eThe Depths\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/product\/aeons-end-the-void\/\"\u003eThe Void\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/product\/aeons-end-outer-dark\/\"\u003eOuter Dark\u003c\/a\u003e each offer four dashboards, and only The Void has less cards in it (by one). However, I am under no illusion that The Nameless offers the best first expansion to your Aeon's End experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween Malastar and Wayward One, this set is a massive slam dunk for me. In terms of power level alone, Malastar evokes the best of what a support mage could be in the game, able to fuel the other players admirably while still getting access to powerful cards of his own with almost practised ease. Wayward One offers a fantastic challenge while exploring vastly different design space to any other Nemesis that has come before it. He is a Nemesis that requires careful and adequate planning, and on top of that changes the game not just from throwing damage on the Nemesis as quickly as possible but changes it into a game of picking the right spot as well. Blight Lord is a fair addition but unfortunately plays second fiddle to the other two. He is a fine addition to either \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.board-game.co.uk\/product\/aeons-end\/\"\u003ecore set\u003c\/a\u003e with his own unique mechanical spin, and gives an additional way for new players to get familiar with the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe market cards are generally on the more powerful side, even the more innocuous-looking cards offer solid and diverse inclusions to aid in your puzzle-solving while dealing with some of the more difficult Nemeses. A lot of the new cards also have a wider focus on interaction between players: Blaze allows players to quickly build a damage engine inside one deck, while the Radiance spell grants allies the ability to draw through their decks faster. Despite the second-lowest amount of new cards in any of the small expansions, every card is well-designed, functional and potent, and I can't find a standout worst card throughout any of the presented options in the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll in all, The Nameless is a solid inclusion for both sets, narrowly more so for the base game over War Eternal just for the sake of the differing difficulty levels between Nemeses, but a worthy inclusion to either.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead More \u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- \/wp:fl-builder\/layout --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Indie Boards \u0026 Cards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56050118623610,"sku":"ZBG-AEDN2IBC","price":16.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/9970\/8282\/files\/The-Nameless-2nd-Edition-Aeons-End-Exp.jpg?v=1760984889"},{"product_id":"depths-aeons-end-exp","title":"The Depths: Aeon's End Expansion","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- wp:fl-builder\/layout --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDeep within the earth, lost in the labyrinth of shadows, the Horde-Crone has awakened the troggs to reclaim the ancient city of Gravehold.

Each mage comes with its own unique spell or gem, as well as it's own playstyle. Nym's ability to discard cards directly from the Nemesis deck can be a blessing or a curse, depending on which Nemesis you face: Discarding a card and shortening the clock feels great, but using the ability at the wrong time can be catastrophic, potentially opening the door to level two and three Nemesis cards earlier than anticipated. Her 'Cinder' gives the ability to deal damage or gain Aether, a nice variable ability allowing her to hit minions when needed or boost her resources to purchase better spells and open breaches. A solid mage for a beginner, but not one that I expect to interest players beyond that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZ'hana looks like a support mage at first glance with eight crystals and a Gravehold-healing ability. However, her 'Eternal Ember' grants the ability to cast any of your prepped spells without discarding it. This effectively grants you a free copy of your best spell at any period in the game, and stands out to me as potentially one of the best starting cards in the game. That, combined with her ability to open her fourth breach on turn one means that she is a standout damage-dealer able to clear out hordes of enemies provided she gets the right support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, Reeve gives us access to a potent minion-destroying ability, combined with her 'Obsidian Shard' to support quick access to five-cost spells or breach opening depending on the situation, albeit at the cost of some life. She can easily be the first mage exhausted in a game, but if she remains active expect her to cleave through minions. The main concern is that her ability is essentially blank if the minions have been vanquished already. A fine inclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, we have a new Nemesis, the Horde-Crone. His flavour reminds me a lot of the Carapace Queen from the base game: Instead of a horde of swarming insects, she controls a menagerie of Troggs, whose abilities are amplified the more copies of the same Trogg are in play. At difficulty six she represents the higher end of a challenge for seasoned players, though the constant shuffling of the Trogg deck with her Unleash ability can become tedious, especially in a deck builder which prides itself on having a lack of shuffling mechanics. Still, a fun inclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, The Depths includes eight sets of market cards ready to enhance your options from the base game. Extra inclusions like this are always welcome in expansions to deck-builders, and though eight cards doesn't seem like a lot, the options here are generally good. 'Devouring Shadow' offers a repeatable way to exile your weaker cards, while acting as a decent damage card when necessary. Similarly, 'Banishing Topaz' offers a way for support mages to cycle their spells away to afford more expensive cards, charging their abilities or buying off Nemesis Power cards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_237659\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-237659\" style=\"width: 820px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"..\/..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Aeons-End-The-Depths-Mages-and-Nemesis.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"..\/..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Aeons-End-The-Depths-Mages-and-Nemesis.jpg\" alt=\"Aeon's End The Depths - Mages and Nemesis\" width=\"820\" height=\"450\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cfigcaption id=\"caption-attachment-237659\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"\u003eAeon's End The Depths - Mages and Nemesis (Credit: Action Phase Games)\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs The Depths Worth Purchasing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a deck-builder aficionado, I always relish the ability to add more to my collection for variety's sake.

Combining this with either base set gives you 11 mages and five Nemeses to work with which is plenty for starting out. The mages will feel more basic when compared to their counterparts in War Eternal, but they more than make up for this in power level. I don't believe anyone new to the series will have any issues understanding the playstyles of each mage as long as they have played the base game previously. There is nothing groundbreaking here, it doesn't change the metrics of how the game is played, but the inclusion here is solid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo keep in mind that there are two print runs of the first three releases of Aeon's End (\u003ca href=\"..\/aeons-end\/\"\u003eBase game\u003c\/a\u003e, The Depths and \u003ca href=\"..\/the-nameless-2nd-edition-aeons-end-exp\/\"\u003eThe Nameless\u003c\/a\u003e), and there are significant shifts in presentation between first and second edition copies of these.
