Placeholder Domain

Back in the good ol' days of Mage Knight when 2.0 debuted we had Domains. In tournaments you had one round you could play no domain. So as to throw of my opponents I used a card printer to create a "placeholder domain." The flavor text on the back was a textbook example of how I played: psychological warfare.

"Any changes in the weather?"

"None sir."

"What about the battle field?"

"It is exactly as we planned it to be, sir."

"His troops! How do they seem to fair?"

"They looked hard pressed and ready for battle, but no more than our own force, sir."

Khurgan sighed and dismessed the scout. All of Lodin Caine's other opponents would report some twist of luck - favorable terrain, good weather, or even that there was a higher power on his side. But now now. If Caine did have some sort of luck, some sort of favor, why did he not use it now? Was it that his luck had run out? Or did Khurgan plan carefully enough to outwit his opponent?

As Caine's troops engaged Khurgan's forces, then answer was clear: Against Caine, Khurgan's army just wasn't worth it.
