I was trying to think of a pun, but it felt like too much of a waste.

[Umbra]

That's right, I'm expanding Warrior Lady of the Wasteland, of all things. I'm also using the Exceed Summon mechanic, introduced in the upcoming manga series Yu-Gi-Oh! ZeXal. (And yes, the X is silent.)

So, what do you think? Too underpowered? Overpowered? TOO SOON, EXECUTUS?

[Umbra]

And a bump to go with it. (I should be expecting this by now.)

[Heavens Guardian]

Sounds Good But why Knights?

[Bringerofcake]

This needs more Fallout references.

And a Level 2. I know Squire fits, but to pull off Knight Lady's second effect, you're going to need more than just Squire.

And something about Avenge: The text seems to imply that the monster destroyed is overlaid onto the Spell Card.

The two are adjusted. While you theoretically could just run a different Level 2, I've added a Wasteland monster that fits the bill. The monsters are indeed supposed to be Overlaid on the equippped monster, not Avenge. (Which has now been renamed, as well.)

I've never played Fallout, so I can't really pull any references.

[Umbra]

A bunch of new cards have been added, organized in their own spoiler-tag for your convenience.
