80pts might be too expensive, but I'll give it a .

That's three... or four, if you can thumbs up your own card.

NEXT!

Wow. I forgot to contact someone else. I didn't think this would be done so soon. Give me a bit.

Next up, superfrog's "cover" of the Gatekeeper:

[superfrog]

This custom is based off of a common squad of the same name by darkmage7a. I adjusted some wordings and changed the last power from "hide in darkness", retooled the bonding to work better with other common heroes, and changed the personality from disciplined to tricky.

Guard heroes are:

-Unique:
Gurei-Oni

-Common:
Drow Chainfighter
Dumutef Guard

[The B.I.V.]

Deft Assault should say: "...you may choose..." unless you want it to be mandatory...

problem is, if it's mandatory, there are times when you can't do it, but you have to...so just say "...you may choose.."

I like this custom (obviously), but I don't get the theme behind "Undetectable" and what it has to do with them being gatekeepers. I'm not sure what Deft Assault has to do with that either.

[Ashus]

Warden 816 has the Warden class, not Guard.

I can't see any issues with this unit, though. If you choose to activate two others, you're basically a 105 point squad of three, which fits with 4 attack/4 defense in my mind.

I don't think any of these powers would lead to any brokenness. The Deft Assault might get you up a few extra levels, but that's just helpful, not overpowered.

All in all, I think this one is very well done, and I give it a .

Well, sorry, I actually hadn't checked Warden 816's card, thanks for the correction.

Also, I think Guardian Bonding should be changed to say:

After revealing an order marker on this card and before taking a turn with this Gatekeeper, ...

It's a little bit vague, but the intent was to have 3 activations possible.

Ah, if you want it to work that way (with 3 activations) then you should definitely do that.

I actually prefer the other version, where you could take a turn with, say, 2 Chainfighters instead of 1 Gatekeeper and 1 Chainfighter.

I'm not sure how I feel about a default of 1 Gatekeeper and 2 Common Guards, or an activation of 1 Gatekeeper and 1 Unique Hero.

I like the current wording, which allows for
-any 2 Common Guards (even if they're not Gatekeepers), OR
-1 Unique Guard Hero

[superfrog]

Any other opinions on 2 vs. 3 activations per turn?

I like 3, because it allows for more flexibility and follows a more conventional bonding scheme, where you still take a turn with the figure you reveal on order marker on.
