Smash Up All Stars

Purchase the Smash Up All Stars Faction on Forgefire!

You know how irritating it is when a company repackages a product with alternate art just to make you buy something you already own? This faction isn’t like that at all. Nosirree. This is the Dream Team of Smash Up favorites. Yep, that’s the ticket. They’re the allstar team, looking for the space to jam the ball through a hoop.

Smash Up All Stars are from The Bigger Geekier Box set and do not have a Titan card.

Complexity Level: MEDIUM
Mechanics
  • 20 Unique Cards

The Smash Up All Stars have 20 different cards, but overall the cards focus on drawing cards from your deck, getting cards back from your discard pile and extra card plays.

Drawing card allows them to get to your best cards faster, while getting back cards from your discard pile allows you to replay them again after they leave play.

Synergy

Cards - Minions

1x King Rex
Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira

Power 7 - (no ability)

Errata: No

Clarifications:

  • The ability is deliberately blank. (What, do you think King Rex isn't strong enough already?)
1x Granny

Power 4 - Talent: Look at the top card of your deck. Place it on the top or bottom of your deck.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

  • None
1x G.E.L.F.
Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira

Power 4 - Talent: Search your deck for a non-G.E.L.F. minion of power 4 or less. Shuffle this minion into your deck and play that minion here as an extra minion.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

  • None
1x Imperial Dragon
Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira

Power 3 - Ongoing: After another player plays or moves a minion here, draw a card.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

  • This triggers when a minion moves to here, not from here. Moving this minion activates it.
1x Lab Assistant
Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira

Power 3 - Place a +1 power counter on another one of your minions.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

  • None
1x Puck
Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira

Power 3 - Play an extra action OR draw a card.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

  • None
1x Ensign
Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira

Power 2 - Ongoing: When an opponent plays a card that directly affects one of your other minions here, you may have it affect this minion instead.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

  • It can take on ongoing or special effects, but not from cards already in play. It can take on multiple effects if it makes sense (e.g. multiple -1 power, but not multiple destroys unless it’s immune). It can have an action played on a different minion played on itself instead. It can substitute for a different minion being taken control of. It cannot take an effect already taken by a different Ensign from a third minion. It can take an effect even if it does not fit the original target’s prerequisites (e.g. “power 3 or higher”).
1x Fan

Power 2 - Special: On your turn, you may discard this card from your hand to draw a card.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

  • None
1x Servitor of Cthulhu
Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira

Power 2 - Talent: Destroy this minion and place an action card from your discard pile on top of your deck.

Errata: No

Clarifications:

  • If your attempt to destroy this card fails because it is protected from destruction, you still place the action card. Destroying a Servitor on R’lyeh counts either for the Servitor’s ability (during the Play Cards phase, to place an action card) or for R’lyeh’s ability (at the start of the turn, to earn 1VP), but not both.
1x Sprout
Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira

Power 2 - Ongoing: Destroy this card at the start of your turn. You may search your deck for a minion of power 3 or less, play it here as an extra minion, and shuffle your deck.

Errata: Yes, Reversion (reverted to original version from Bigger Geekier Box errata)

Clarifications:

  • A Sprout may not destroy itself the same turn it is played.

Illustrated by: Alberto Tavira
