Basalt

Basalt

A powerful blocker, beater, and all-around generally handsome fellow. Note: the reason why it is better to make the opposing minion play as if they were the attacker and thus play their cards first is that you don't waste cards. For instance, if you want to maneuver to a specific range and so does the other minion and they play their card first you can save yours, or if they are going to strike: combat ends you avoid wasting your own powerful strike card, and so on. Additionally, Basalt's version of this ability explicitly trumps other similar effects such as from Deep Song or Nar-Shepta.
