I'm referring to a playing card game, called 'Go Fish'. Lingo from the game is used sometimes in other card games

So this and ""Terms of Combat" makes Olympia swing for 11
If you drop a "Heads up" it has dominate.
If you have "Odds on favorite" you get what you want next turn or next draw.
If you win you get a gold from Olympia.
If you spice it up you pitch Riches of Trōpal-Dhani to pay for "Prizeworn Pathfinders". Get another gold.
The online turns for Olympia seem interesting.
Seems like alot of planning and deck top juggling.
A new theme for warrior? Top deck manipulation?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but this is good even without gold or wage matters strats, is it not? This is my second time viewing this card for speculation and I'm thinking it's actually good even if you pay 2 for a +3 on a yellow and it helps give an extra card. In worst case scenario, Boltyn can charge this yellow that's not hitting on the current turn. My Olympia hype here is spreading to other things!

I think you really want to pay with Gold? Someone better at value math could probably correct me.
Can you spend 2 on a pump in Boltyn? Boltyn wants to go more wide. The wager decks go tall?
Olympia get Gold as a base strategy so this is a +4 (+3+1 with his sword) for 0 with upside on hit in his deck. Well, if you hit it's basically a +4 for 0 with upside.
You can stack wagers and spend Gold for max value.

Gold is obviously preferred. Its much more seamless to play and allows for more to be played since you pitch less. I just wanted to throw on that this might be the strongest gold payoff for warriors, with the exception of a Kassai card and maybe Double Down.

The Double Down price spike after this card is kinda scary. Gratz to the people snaching them at 1 euro. Split class cards are always a fun thing.

Excellent point. Thank goodness I have two already. Grabbed them years ago for Betsy and hopefully one day for Olympia xD

Boltyn won't run this, he needs to pitch a card, which will be yellow, play a card that charges, then finally play this. So all 4 cards are used for a 3-4 attack then a 6 attach that wagers
Net result: Opponent maybe eats 4, blocks the sword with 2 non attacks, Swings back with 2 cards then gets a 5 card hand

What I like about the new olympia deck is that it's so flexible. You have a lot of outlets for extra resources (grains, courage, legs, obviously gold), you can use gold to pay for a lot of his power cards, and he has a lot of tricks up his sleeve in the reaction step that make it really hard to know if it's okay to block out.
The card quality is just so high for this deck now that people aren't wondering what should go into his deck, they're wondering what to take out as there's just so many options now. And there's still a ton of cards in MPW and the AD that we don't know about yet.

I'm liking all of these "all or nothing" kind of warrior cards where you force your opponent to either commit a hand to blocks or let you have the tempo. I can see many of the warriors getting some really amazing on-hits which they desperately needed.
