That'd be easier to get than currently lol.

Looks like my card is in this expansion. It might puzzle people at first, so here's the intention behind it.




The Price of Protection

5 card set

T16 (Elder) Chateau Map, white





I like variety at endgame.

Because you only get one Elder Orb, the game mechanics encourage you to pick the very best map to use it on.

The playerbase has largely solved the question of which map this is - it's Armory or Underground Sea if you want absolute monster count; Beach if you want the best layout; or Burial Chambers or Lair if you want the best divination cards.




Chateau is one of many maps that isn't quite the best at anything. It has a high absolute monster count, a mediocre but not amazing layout, and a mediocre pool of divination cards. Its biggest strengths are being able to use white sextants and Vaaling into a decent map.

It's a decent map to run as your t16, but not **the best**, so you pick something else instead to use your one Elder Orb.

This is the motivation behind the card - if you are running Tier 16s in a trade league (or SSF if you can compile sets), you now have one more tileset to add to your endgame pool of maps.

I don't know where the card will drop, but I'm hoping it drops from one (or more) of the challenging and frequently skipped higher tier map bosses.

You tremendously underestimate how many people do Uber Atziri....

This would make the card relatively common. BTD will be a legitimately rare card.

Something about the art of this card.

is it that it looks like hokage naruto with sharingan?
and how the black smoke looks like susanoo?

well coincidence happen and the guy is more like julius caesar.

Ah, more cards. Makes me glad I gave in and bought a tab. It's surely getting out of hand.
New map too. Nice.

Hey, I really like that one! Congrats and thanks.

Hmm not sure how I feel about these...

Edit: Elder Haunted Mansion is actually a super good map to spam, so you're not really as limited as you seem to think.

That picture from The Innocent tho....

I don't think a single one of those sets is going to be able to be completed. Possibly the most worthless news post yet.

Probably. At least it made The Void slightly more valuable.
