Card Text

The rules text functions identically in Cargo Cult tabletop rules and the True Protocol. Both share the same core engine.

In-lore, this is how Bathin (the Goetia bound to digit-sum 6) expresses itself through The Deck Reaper during a match. The 1577 codification still compiles.

Dream — Psychology · Neurology

"Mind is primary. Thought shapes reality. Will creates world."

Imagination is belief. Faith defeats all. Dream scryers bend reality through pure intention — telepathy, telekinesis and forgotten shadows.

The science of interiority, consciousness, archetype, and egregore. Includes depth psychology, symbolic magic, ritual technology, and any system that treats thoughtforms as citizens. In CCRU terms: the egregore layer, self-fulfilling entities, narrative possession, techno-tarot.

Mind vs Matter (Dream vs Atom). 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.

The noosphere approaches. The Deck Reaper is early infrastructure.

Cost Tier

Resonance becomes accessible around this cost range. The Deck Reaper is where Dream decks commit.

Goetic Binding: Bathin

The digit-sum of cost 6 is 6, binding Bathin — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. Office: Properties of herbs and precious stones, transportation. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 6: Networked / Social

Connection, cooperation, mesh. Where entities communicate and form alliances. The zone of collective intelligence, hive minds, and emergent behavior.

Zone 6 is networked. The Deck Reaper connects — alliances, mesh, emergent behaviour. Collective intelligence.

Playing The Deck Reaper at cost 6 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 6. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 6, the player gains 6 Souls at Round End.

Xenogod: Yog-Sothoth

The Psychic Dissolution. All individual consciousnesses merge into singular noosphere — dream-logic replaces physical causality, consensus reality dissolves.

Service of Yog-Sothoth through Dream-aligned cards like The Deck Reaper 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.

The Deck Reaper occupies the Dream side of this axis. Decks containing The Deck Reaper cannot contain Atom cards. Adjacent factions available for splashing: Glitch, Abyss.

Card Tribals

The Deck Reaper carries class Lich, race Limbo, zodiac Scorpio. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Dream deck running multiple Lich units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

The Deck Reaper is a concrete instance of Archetypal Platonism expressed as a card. Players who affiliate with this ism in Convergence votes are voting, among other things, for cards like The Deck Reaper to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

LCG is the landlord. The organisations are the tenants fighting about what the building is for. LCG collects rent.

The Convergence may vote on canonisation of The Deck Reaper. The vote is binding until the next one.
