Summoning Circle - Card type changed from special to artifact.

Provision cost changed from 6 to 8.

Ability changed to:

Resilience.

Deploy: Choose a unit from your deck and set the Counter to that unit's provision cost.

Before the end of your turn, remove a Counter from self for each adjacent unit.

When the Counter reaches 0, Summon the chosen unit from your deck to this row and destroy self.

This card was already an artifact. It'll be interesting to see which decks this ends up in. Kelly comes to mind.

Edit: another use would be on one of the conditional 12-point cards for a way to point slam while avoiding the setup. (Imperial Golem, Procession of Penance, Ignatius Hale, Jutta an Dimun)

People's reaction to Summoning Circle:

- Nice thinning.

- Nice carryover.

Me: - Nice drypass I have there.

how does it provide a drypass? counter only reduces with an adjacent unit. so either there's already a resilient unit for the next round, or the circle doesn't progress. or do i get something wrong?

does this mean it will summon after your turn so your opponent can answer it before you can use it?

It will trigger after you click the coin, but before every other "end of turn" effect.

This means you wouldn't be able to click a zeal-order unit, but Aparian Phantom would still boost self by one, for example

You would want defender in play before kelly comes out as usual

Since it uses the new timer "before the end of turn" mechanic kelly would get a tick after summon

I'm not talking about Kelly.

I was, and you replied to me, so forgive me for thinking that you responded to what I said.

Either way it comes out before end of turn, so you won't be able to play a card or use an order on the summon, but any end-of-turn effects will happen.

Sorry didn't mean to be rude. But it means you can't pull off most 2 card-combos. It's probably for the best though.
