They just want to socialize... but they probably shouldn’t, so they’re here to smash bases instead! This BONE-a fide army of calcium-rich undead is all about burying minions until they’re ready to burst from the ground, badder and bonier than ever. Joining their spooky ranks isn’t high on most people’s list, but hey, it's one hell of a diet!

Skeletons are from the 10th Anniversary set and do not have a Titan card.

Complexity Level: MEDIUM
Mechanics
  • Burying Your Minions

Skeletons have abilities that allow them to bury cards, with a focus on minions and especially minions from your discard pile, abilities that allow them to uncover them outside the Start Turn phase and abilities that add +1 power counters on uncovered minions. Buried cards are unique in that very few cards can target them, so you can effectively keep them buried until just the right time.
