Originally handed out during the Uprising prerelease tournaments, this card isn't just a trophy; it's a powerful tactical tool for those who know how to manipulate the gears of Arrakis. It functions as an Imperator card, requiring 3 persuasion to recruit, and features the blue agent symbol, fitting seamlessly into the game's worker placement flow. The card's main strength lies in its reward versatility. When using the agent ability, it allows you to gain rewards from your face-up battle, offering various options depending on your immediate needs: from trashing a card (via Crysknife) to clear your deck, to securing spice or Ornithopters (via Muad'Dib), or even reinforcing your army with troops. However, the real game-changer is the reveal ability: playing it grants a massive +3 boost to combat strength, which can be the deciding factor between a glorious victory and total defeat in a pivotal conflict. Being a promotional item, it adds a layer of exclusivity to the match, forcing opponents to recalculate their risks when they see this extra firepower in your hand. It's the perfect piece for players looking to optimize resource management while keeping military pressure high. Since the text is minimal, the language barrier is practically non-existent, making it accessible to any group already familiar with the basic rules of Uprising. Prepare your deck, organize your troops, and use the beast's spoils to dominate the desert! ## FAQ ### Does this card come with the base game?
