reeeeeelman (npub175z…5mkl) He's very different to normal Shifting. Normally you pick one or two major powers in the first few turns then just ride them for the rest of the game and fuck shit up whenever it starts looking scary.
With Mentor you don't pick majors early, you just keep gobbling up minor powers and adding presence every fucking turn. 2 cards coming in every turn, 2 cards played every turn, the train never fucking stops. We got uhhh... 7 turns into a game (vs Habsburg Livestock, so, stage 3 just up for ravage) and I didn't reclaim once. On one turn specifically I had to take 1-range presence and 2 energy, every other turn I took power cards + presence.
And then yeah you feed a fuckload of cards to everyone else. Anything in your bin is never seeing use again so you might as well give it away. And you can 100% guarantee getting an air back every turn so you can guarantee getting it up every turn (but, ideally, you want to be playing air cards).
