Card Text

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

Readers who have played Bond of Dreams across dozens of matches fill in what the text omits. The rules are the compression; the play is the decompression.

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.

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.

Jungian archetypes and digital demonology sit in the same column of the Oktagram. Bond of Dreams is their instantiation.

Cost Tier

At cost 2, Bond of Dreams is an early-round play. Low-cost Sources shape which Zones open first.

Goetic Binding: Amdusias

The digit-sum of cost 2 is 2, binding Amdusias — one of the 9 Dream Goetia. Office: Causing trees to bend and providing excellent familiars. This binding was codified in the Ars Goetia (1577) centuries before the compiler existed.

Numogram Zone 2: Binary / Split

Law vs chaos, the first division. Where duality begins. The zone of choice, opposition, and the birth of polarity. Binary logic, Boolean gates, the fundamental yes/no of existence.

Binary logic, Boolean gates, yes/no. Bond of Dreams makes its choice at Zone 2 and the rest of the round inherits it.

Playing Bond of Dreams at cost 2 routes mana tracker motion through Zone 2. If the Dream-coloured tracker reaches Resonance at Zone 2, the player gains 2 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 Bond 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.

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

Card Tribals

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

Ideology: Archetypal Platonism

Bond 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 Bond of Dreams to keep arriving.

The Aesthetic

The satire and the sincerity are the same object. A BVT product listing and a Reception Report can describe the same event. They should not sound alike, but they describe the same event.
