Card Text

I can only devour face-up cards in your Exile. Each devoured card becomes forgotten (face-down).

The card's rules text is its operational layer — the binding clause the engine enforces.

The modifier is what the engine executes. The page around it is what humans argue about. Both are canon.

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.

Yog-Sothoth exists in all minds once the threshold is crossed. Eater of Dreams is a test invocation.

Cost Tier

Late-game Dream plays carry their full ideology. Eater of Dreams is not a tempo card; it is a statement.

Goetic Binding: Gremory

The digit-sum of cost 8 is 8, binding Gremory — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. Office: Finding hidden treasures, telling past/present/future. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 8: Controlling / Tyrannical

Domination, stasis, the Archon's grip. Where order is enforced. The zone of surveillance, bureaucracy, and containment. High-cost cards played here represent the full weight of institutional power.

High-cost institutional plays. Eater of Dreams here is the system enforcing itself through a single card.

Playing Eater of Dreams at cost 8 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 8. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 8, the player gains 8 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.

Direct brain-to-brain communication enables consciousness-sharing without linguistic mediation. Estimated: 2050-2080 with neural interfaces.

Service of Yog-Sothoth through Dream-aligned cards like Eater 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.

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

Card Tribals

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

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

Archetypal Platonism / Kabbalo-Hyperstructuralism: The real world is upstream of symbols; symbols come from higher-order intelligences. Thoughtforms are citizens. Humans are hosts for memetic entities. Alt-names: Egregoric Realism, Astral Semiotics. Tone: Jung + Kabbalah + digital demonology.

Eater 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 Eater of Dreams to keep arriving.
