Card ideas using new unique rules words

This idea started because i felt like Ciphyron is the one general that has gotten no support yet, especially now that Psychic Conduit has been rotated out. But in thinking of a card or mechanic that could suit him It got me thinking about the two new “rule words” that have been introduced recently:
“Promote.” -Lionar
and
“Invulnerable.” - Neutral, i guess.

So i thought it might be fun to throw it out to the community: who can think of some new cards that either make use of Invulnerable or gives the other factions their own special word? Or even just a new word for a faction that would work really well with it.

My idea was for Vetruvian:
Word: “Mummified”.

Mummified minions lose their keywords but gain the keyword “cursed”. When they are destroyed they become Exhuming Sand, but when they destroy a minion IT becomes a mummified ally.

Card: Sands of Binding. Spell. Cost… i dunno, i’m terrible at this… 5?
Turns any minion with 2 or less attack into a mummified ally.

Yeah, seems a bit OP, so I was thinking of maybe making it a Mythron minion instead. Only one card allowed in deck, costs maybe 6-7 and gives all your other minions the curse.

Well that’s it. Go wild.

Don’t you think that arbitrage is actually a VERY good support for Ciph? Superior to conduit in every aspect. I’m not even speaking of grapnel.

I’d say the only general that got no support is Maehv. Abyss Trial is the only thing that can be considered her support, and it’s crappy.

Your idea could be interesting though. Hard to balance, but interesting.

And confusing to new players

vet already got “tiers of ascension”

if you can count promotion, ascension tiers have to count

“Invulneraball”
3 mana 3/3
Neutral minion
All minions and generals except this one are invulnerable

Arbitrage is an epic card and also requires you to give something (possibly stronger) away in order to gain something. You’re right that it’s an okay card for him though.

I feel Promotion is something that can be used outside of Strategos. You could easily have a spell or minion that causes another minion to promote. The Tiers of Ascension though is just a fancy way of saying you can a keyword… hmm… Maybe you could make specific artifacts or minions that cause you to gain a Tier while they’re in play though, so yeah… interesting.
