Sign in to track this card in your collection.
Description
This Illuminati doesn't lose a group card from hand after a failed Attack to Control -- the card just returns to hand -- and it gets a strong bonus toward controlling or destroying any Magic group. Its Special Goal counts every Magic Resource it controls as a group toward the ordinary victory count.
Conspiracy Narrative
References the real Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the broader Western esoteric "Hermetic" magical tradition, named for the legendary Hermes Trismegistus -- the kind of occult secret-society lineage that conspiracy lore often links back to the Bavarian Illuminati itself.
Goes well with
Both cards draw on the same real lineage of 18th-19th-century Western occult and secret-society lore that conspiracy theory conflates into one master cabal.
