Purchase the Vikings Faction on Forgefire!
There’s gold out there, treasure and wealth. Sure it belongs to other people, but why let that stop you? You’re Vikings! Raid and pillage your way to victory. The Vikings know that they could make better use of other people’s cards. Why did they even bring cards to the game unless they weren’t afraid to lose them?
Vikings are from the Oops, You Did It Again set and do not have a Titan card.
Complexity Level: MEDIUM
Mechanics
- Plundering Opponent's Cards
- Placing Cards On Top Of Your Deck For Power
Vikings pillage, rob, steal, etc. cards from other players. Overall, they mainly steal cards from the top of their deck, and usually actions and minions of power 3 or less, although some of their cards can target cards in their hand (Pillage), in their discard pile (Valkyrie), or under their control (Ransack), and even minions of power 4 or higher.
They also have the secondary mechanic of gaining power boosts at the cost of placing cards from your hand on top of your deck, therefore giving you less options to play with and tampering with your next card draws.
