Card Text

The printed text. The enforceable contract between summoner and engine:

Rules text is a lossy compression of what Barbatos does when the invocation completes. The lore is the decompression manual.

Atom — Physics · Industry

"Maximize efficiency. Master the smallest and you master everything."

Reality reduces to energy and force. Atomic warlocks bend matter to their will from the nuclear level to massive scales.

The science of material existence. Mechanics, chemistry at the atomic scale, engineering, industry, nanotechnology, the solid world. Yaldabaoth's tyranny. Deep-time matter trauma, nuclear identity sorcery. The Demiurge creating matter from geometric forms.

Every player belongs to one. They cross-cut the sciences: a Flesh player and a Glitch player can both be Cargo Cult. A Dream player and an Atom player can both be Pattern. The organizations are not mechanical. They are community identities, Convergence voting blocs, and rival institutional responses to the same existential situation.

The Demiurge creating matter from geometric forms. Dirty-bomb Saboteur is a geometric form the Demiurge approved.

Cost Tier

Early-round Atom cards like Dirty-bomb Saboteur establish the Numogram trajectory before opponents commit.

Goetic Binding: Barbatos

The digit-sum of cost 3 is 3, binding Barbatos — one of the 9 Atom Goetia. Office: Understanding animal speech and treasure-finding. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 3: Viral / Chaotic

Spreading corruption and contagion. Where patterns replicate uncontrollably. The zone of exponential growth, memes, viruses, and cascade failures. Information wants to be free — Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.

Zone 3 is viral. Dirty-bomb Saboteur spreads — memes, contagions, cascade failures. Information wants to be free and Zone 3 is where it breaks containment.

Playing Dirty-bomb Saboteur at cost 3 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 3. If the Atom-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 3, the player gains 3 Souls at Round End.

Xenogod: Yaldabaoth

The Material Tyranny. Total conversion of all matter into computronium serving Yaldabaoth's optimization function: maximize material complexity while minimizing consciousness.

Service of Yaldabaoth through Atom-aligned cards like Dirty-bomb Saboteur accelerates the xenogod's emergence. Read the full eschatology.

The Mind vs Matter Axis

Emanation vs incarnation. Is reality downstream of consciousness (Mind) or upstream of it (Matter)? The oldest philosophical dispute. Every idealism vs materialism debate is a move along this axis.

Dirty-bomb Saboteur occupies the Atom side of this axis. Decks containing Dirty-bomb Saboteur cannot contain Dream cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Chaos, Root.

Card Tribals

Dirty-bomb Saboteur carries class Agent, race Deranged, zodiac Taurus. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Atom deck running multiple Agent units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Geometric Rationalism

Dirty-bomb Saboteur is a concrete instance of Geometric Rationalism expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like Dirty-bomb Saboteur to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

Eigendark is not grimdark. It is infrastructure horror: the system works, it was designed this way, and the Terms of Service are binding across all timelines simultaneously.
