About Astral Assault (2)

Astral Assault (2), action - attack, designed by None first released in Jun, 2026 in the set Omens of the Third Age.

Astral Assault (2) would primarily fit into an aggressive Lightning-focused deck—most notably Briar, Warden of Thorns builds that generate and maintain **Lightning Flow** auras—since it converts an existing Lightning Flow into a temporary +2 POWER boost, effectively rewarding aura setup with extra damage output. In a dedicated Lightning Briar deck that reliably creates surplus Lightning Flows, it can function as a conditional 2-cost attack with solid breakpoints; however, compared to stronger 2-cost options like **Enlightened Strike**, **Snatch**, **Command and Conquer**, or even efficient class-specific attacks that don’t require sacrificing board presence, Astral Assault is generally less consistent and lower value because it consumes an aura that might otherwise generate ongoing synergy. As a result, it’s playable in more casual or aura-heavy Lightning builds but is usually outclassed in competitive lists by higher-impact or more flexible attack options.
