Role notes

Core Veyran card because it either creates velocity, doubles value, protects the engine, or converts a storm turn into lethal pressure.

ArchivistRole guidance

Convert repeated casts into cards so the deck does not run out of gas.

Target

B4: 5-8 engines; B5 favors compact high-output engines.

Keep

Archmage-style draw, Rhystic/Mystic effects, repeatable spellslinger value.

Avoid

Four-mana engines that do nothing until the next turn in fast pods.

Cuttable?

Almost never

B4 note

Excellent in the B4 value-storm shell.

B5 note

Playable but not necessarily B5-defining.
