Altar to Unity is a passive engine card that fits neatly into any token-centric strategy.
As a battlefield, it doesn’t swing the board through stats or tempo—it scales.
If your deck builds wide, this is one of the simplest and cleanest ways to keep the pressure rolling without spending a single card from hand.
It’s not flashy, but it doesn’t have to be. It just works.
Gameplay / Cool Mechanics
The text is dead simple: “When you hold here, play a Recruit unit token in your base.”
That’s it. Hold the battlefield, and you generate a Recruit every turn.
No trigger. No cost. No once per turn clause. As long as you stay in control of the space, you’re getting bodies for free.
That makes Altar to Unity ideal in decks that want to go wide, flood the board, or trigger off the presence of multiple units.
You don’t need to dedicate cards to summoning fodder. This field does the work for you. It shines in lists that use Recruit tokens for sacrifice effects, bulk buffs, or transformation engines.
Combine it with battlefield lock tools or defensive bodies, and you’ve got a long-term value engine that forces answers.
It’s also an excellent stall-breaker in grindy games. Even if your hand runs dry, Altar to Unity keeps you in the game just by giving you free units each turn.
In a slow matchup, that kind of incremental advantage adds up fast. Not every battlefield card demands attention—but this one rewards patience and presence.
Visuals
Kudos Productions paints a solemn, almost divine setting.
Towering statues of robed figures stretch toward the clouds, each one carved in smooth white stone, cloaked in flowing cloth that feels just barely frozen in time.
The whole scene looks like a temple to purpose. Wide steps, rising arches, and a quiet sense of order.
No fire. No war. Just a place where the system keeps ticking.

Battlefields are utility cards, not showpieces.
Most won’t carry high value alone, but Altar to Unity may be an exception if Recruit-based decks gain traction.
Token players will want full playsets, and foils could see mild demand just for the art.
Not a collector chase, but definitely a deck engine worth tracking if the meta leans wide.
Altar to Unity is slow pressure done right. No tricks, no cost, just consistent free value every turn.
If you play tokens or swarm, this isn’t just playable—it’s a priority.
