Two new cards materialized in Kaiden's orbit as the turn began, and the first face he saw made the rest of the match fall into place.
Double March.
'Again?!'
He'd drawn it once before and spent it on setting up Luna's flanking lane.
Now it was back, and the play it unlocked was the one he'd been building toward since the board expanded.
'Is this random luck or are the cards going to start repeating...?'
The second one was called Empower, a buff card.
He banked both without playing either, and the discipline of holding two extra cards while his girls stood on a board against boss monsters went against every instinct in his body.
'Not yet.'
Column A was open. Luna was already in it. Every enemy piece on the board was pushing forward through columns B to E, which meant none of them could circle back to guard the lane he'd carved three turns ago. Two moves forward and she'd reach Row 1.
Except she couldn't do that.
