Card Mechanics
As we continue with our first week of card previews, we’re going to stick with cards that work well with our first Advent, Xi. With that in mind, we’d like to present the UGC Officer Armada card. UGC Officer gains bonus attack and defense for merely having Gears in-play. This Armada also features the Scout keyword, which means you can move UGC Officer the turn he is deployed.
A strong move is to deploy UGC Officer on the first turn of the game then drop a gear on him the next turn to trigger his effect. Despite this card’s early-game utility, it proves to be increasingly useful as the game progresses. If you can manage to put a lot of Gears in-play later in the game, then UGC Officer can equal the stats of many higher cost Armada. Remember Xi's effect that allows you to give Armada +1/+1/+0 Accent Gear counters? Well, those count as Gears, so giving one of those to UGC Officer results in him gaining +2/+2/+0 instead!
