We can expect reprints of The First Chapter to be coming consistently for quite a while
So, it gives them an outlet to reprint some more expensive random cards
The main hook with Location cards is a passive Lore (points) income, with abilities that come in available for use immediately, versus some of the other Lorcana card types that come in Ready but unavailable until a newly-played cards next round
8 mana is a hurlde not all decks can clear, but this will win the game almost every time you cast it since it will make the first token when you go to combat
Another reserved list card Bone Mask also has a similar ability or preventing damage, except that you can likely only use it once per round since it has to tap, plus youll likely be Exiling a lot of cards from your Library just to stay alive
As an Illumineer, you can create glimmers of characters and items to add to the lore of Lorcanaa treasure that must be preserved and protected at all costs
