Let me know if you have questions!

Spoiler Alert!

- THEME TEST/ Great feel to Bleez. Stealing from others is fitting.
- MIRROR TEST/ Nothing I saw here.
- BONDING TEST/ No bonding I know of outside general bonders like Havok.
- SYNERGIES TEST/ Synergies with the Red Lanterns are nice, stealing some of their power for herself.
- POWER CHECK/ Nothing I saw here. I do wonder how her power steal interacts with other Lanterns getting markers back. I played it as move /= removed, so they couldn’t regen one she still had.
- FUN TEST/ She was fun and can definitely hit hard.
- FUN COMPETITIVE TEST/ I think the Lanterns are great, especially the ones that don’t have the Power Shield abilities, as I know people can get frustrated by those.
- DRAFTING TEST/ Can be quite a powerhouse for her points.
- USAGE TEST/ The negative of treacherous rage feels easy to bypass.
- STRATEGY TEST/ See above.

Who won and how many wounds did they have? Red Lanterns win with Mera with 5 wounds.

THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT'S COST, BALANCE, & DRAFTABILITY: She’s a great 330 pointer and feels like a perfect companion to Kara for an even 700. Treacherous Rage feels like it is there to bring her cost down a bit, but she’s super easy to keep away in the early game, and late game it never felt necessary to steal others power, plus games moved fast enough that by time she moved in in the second round she was flying solo.
GENERAL THOUGHTS ON THE TESTED UNIT: Treacherous Rage mostly feels like it just gives her a free boon, as she’s easy to keep away from other Lanterns. Kara felt like the obvious pull, as she loses all her markers in her first engagement anyway. However, this move did tend to slow the Lanterns down, as Kara was repeatedly one space shy of a quick second turn engagement. Game two was such a curb stomp I ran it again. I like the requirement of wounds to get back markers, but it can be frustrating to have them all outranged so frequently. Rage Plasma is awesome when it is pulled off.

I realized I forgot to update the SP so these tests were at 330. A couple of pretty close games and one blowout loss, so I'm still going to ask for 350 on the next one.

The intent for the Reds marker interaction is for Bleez to be able to steal markers with Treacherous Rage and then the other Reds can "get them back" with Raging Plasma, essentially making new markers. Is the wording on Raging Plasma confusing for this / do we need to update it? "Previously removed" isn't really a defined phrase in our game.
