Designed to capture the feel of Szeth's assassinations.
I can see white and probably black from Szeth. What do yo use that's blue?
It's been a while since I read these books.
Yeah, the blue was the last color that I added. Maybe I'll drop it, but it's because windrunner power are extremely . Flight, sticking things together (tapping creatures), etc. Those things can also be white, though.
This is true of a lot of characters. Kaladin seems very to me, but he of course is also a windrunner, making his abilities mostly , with some . However, I don't want to go full-on three-color (though a few would be fine, hence this card), so I'm left with the option of matching a character's personality or their power set. It's something I'll have to feel out.
Also, a LOT of the surges are super , so I'll have to bend some to make it more color-balanced.
Did end up removing blue for color-balancing purposes.
