Quick-draw Mechanic Divides Gladiators into Two: The Quick and the Dead
by Carl Van Ostrand

Ladies and gentlebeings, Ophidian 2350's Rise of Champions expansion features a new mechanic called Quick-draw. It allows you to make more efficient, more powerful plays that will leave your opponent cowering in fear every time you reach for your arsenal.

This is how it works:

{R} After you draw a Quick-draw card during the Wave, If you meet the discipline and level requirements to play the card, you may reveal it and pay any additional costs to use the Quick-draw effect.

Quick-draw effects can be anything, including playing the card for less CP, drawing another card, destroying a card in play, or even gaining CP or Cheer! The catch is, to gain the extra effects, you need to make sure you have ways to draw your Quick-draw cards during the Wave. While you probably know of several ways to do this already, you can be sure RoC will include even more.

Quick-draw is fast because each time you draw a card that has a Quick-draw ability you get an effect. Imagine drawing 3 cards and each of them has a Quick-draw! And one of them has a Quick-draw that let’s you draw another card!

So keep an eye out for it and begin to formulate those new strategies into your arsenal so you’ll be ready when the Rise of Champions expansion comes out. Here’s something to get your brain working…
