Character Bio - From the plane of Fiora, Dack Fayden is a Planeswalker and the Greatest Thief in the Multiverse. He uses his psychometry magic to absorb the spells from artifacts that he comes into contact with which he can use as needed. This leads him to go on adventures for the most powerful items in the multiverse. One such adventure ends with him getting captured and imprisioned as a thief, part of his punishment was the torturous process that permanently dyed his right hand red. He eventually uses his planeswalking ability to escape, but when he makes it back to his home plane, he sees that everyone in his town has been murdered. He continues to travel the multiverse until he finds a magical dagger with the memories of everyone who had ever used it, including the Planeswalker who slaughtered his town. Now he is searching for vengeance.

-Rulings and Clarifications-

• Since Dack can use the special powers of Glyphs "as though he was equipped with that Glyph", if he places one of his markers on a Glyph that destroys itself when you use it, then you just destroy that Glyph wherever it is and use the power.

PSYCHOMETRY
Start the game with an Artifact Equipment Glyph on this card. Anytime an Equipment Glyph is placed on this card, place a purple Psychometry Marker on its card. ​Dack Fayden may use the special powers of any Glyph with a Psychometry Marker on its card as though he was equipped with that Glyph.

GREATEST THIEF IN THE MULTIVERSE
After moving normally or with his Planeswalker special power, you may choose an adjacent figure and place an Equipment Glyph from that figure's card on this card. Dack Fayden can equip up to two Equipment Glyphs and only loses one glyph anytime he receives one or more wounds. Dack may never drop or pass Equipment Glyphs he has equipped.

PLANESWALKER
Once per round, instead of moving normally with Dack Fayden, you may place him on any empty space that is either within 6 spaces of his current space, in your Start Zone, or on another battlefield that is part of this game. When Dack planeswalks, he will not take any leaving engagement attacks.

How does he work with Glyphs that ask you to destroy themselves, like the smoke pellet or
Spidey’s food glyphs?

[tcglkn]

There’s no Glyph to destroy so those powers wouldn’t work.

[IAmBatman]

Is there meant to be an upper limit to markers he can have on his card? Right now you'd actually place 5 at the start of the game, place the glyph, then place a 6th, per the mechanics.

I initially had it at 6, then added him starting with an Artifact Glyph so I reduced the number of markers to accommodate that. Not too set on the upper limit though, unlikely that he will use more than a few per game.

[IAmBatman]

So it's intentionally that you place 5 markers, place the glyph, then place a 6th marker? Seems a bit mechanically wonky and unintuitive.

[tcglkn]

Wasn't sure how to word that the best. Happy if we can find a better way to word that power for sure.

Added an FAQ for this.

[IAmBatman]

GREATEST THIEF IN THE MULTIVERSE
Start the game with 6 purple Psychometry Markers and one Artifact Equipment Glyph on this card. Anytime another Equipment Glyph is placed on this card, immediately place a Psychometry Marker on its card. After moving and before attacking, if Dack Fayden does not have an equipment glyph on this card, you may choose any adjacent figure that has an equipment glyph on its card and place that equipment glyph on this card. Dack may use the special powers of any Glyph with a Psychometry Marker on it's card as though he was equipped with that Glyph.

Would that do it?

[tcglkn]

Not quite because then the Glyph he starts with doesn't start with a marker. And it could be argued that it would never get one of his markers.
