Card Mechanics
Banish is negation in it’s purest sense. It stops just about any action your opponent can take: Deploying an Armada, playing a Tactic, or playing a Gear. Every other negation tactic in Advent Saga comes with a catch: For instance, Decisive Moment, previewed our first week, negates only tactics for a Total Resource Cost of 3, and your opponent has the chance of recouping a Tactic from their deck. Banish’s price may sound steep at a Total Resource Cost of 4, but playing it correctly results in negating just the card your opponent needed, and sometimes that can be worth your entire Resource pool. For this reason, use your Banishes wisely! Ask yourself how much of a balance swing would result in you playing Banish vs. not playing it. Saving Banish to force these large balance swings is a key to Victory when using any Psionic Energy deck.
