Card Text

What the rulebook sees when Assassin of Dreams resolves:

Every modifier is a clause in a binding originally drafted by people who didn't know they were writing API docs. Assassin of Dreams inherits the clause unchanged.

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.

Dream agents do not distinguish between prediction and causation. Assassin of Dreams is both.

Cost Tier

At cost 5, Assassin of Dreams is a mid-game power spike. The Numogram has already bent toward one side of its axis.

Goetic Binding: Eligos

The digit-sum of cost 5 is 5, binding Eligos — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. Office: Hidden things, wars, and the loyalty of lords. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 5: Flux / Transforming

Evolution, change, metamorphosis. The zone of becoming. Where identities dissolve and reform. The midpoint of the Numogram — neither beginning nor end, pure transition.

Zone 5 is pure transition. Assassin of Dreams here is neither starting nor ending — the midpoint of the Numogram, where identities dissolve and reform.

Playing Assassin of Dreams at cost 5 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 5. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 5, the player gains 5 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 Assassin of Dreams 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.

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

Card Tribals

Assassin of Dreams carries class Assassin, race Human, zodiac Taurus. In the True Protocol, tribal bindings matter more than colour splashes — a Dream deck running multiple Assassin units develops archetype coherence faster than a deck chasing pure colour identity.

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

Assassin of Dreams 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 Assassin of Dreams to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

Cosmic horror says the universe is indifferent and incomprehensible. Eigendark says the universe is indifferent and incomprehensible and here's the API documentation.

The Convergence may vote on canonisation of Assassin of Dreams. The vote is binding until the next one.
