I figured out that the first synergies section is Outgoing Synergy, so he wouldn't have anything listed as all his boosts are general use and not limited to a class/faction/personality/etc. Then the second section just lists all the tags that are called out by other cards, which at some point will be linked to a post containing all Incoming Synergy for those tags. I haven't been listing the Publisher or Symbols so far as they seem either really minor (Publisher) or everywhere (Flying/SS).

[japes]

would a Lantern keyword make sense from a White Lantern Guardians build standpoint?

[MrNobody]

A Lantern keyword could be cool.

[IAmBatman]

Yeah, a keyword like that would be cool. Probably worth talking through if Lantern is the optimal keyword for it. Don't some ringbearers go by different names than "X Lantern"?

[MrNobody]

I think even if they call themselves something else (like the Star Sapphires) they’re still “classified” as Lanterns? Ringbearer would also be cool though.

[IAmBatman]

I do like Ringbearer. Do they all actually use rings? I know there are some weirdo "special" types that came into play post-Blackest Night (which is where most of my knowledge would come from).

I guess a downside is it gets sticky if we ever do Lord of the Rings.

[Arch-vile]

I would go Lantern if we’re making a keyword. Not all the lanterns use rings, even in the pre-Blackest Night days (like Ion). But all are generally part of a Lantern Corps or call themselves X Lantern. Lantern is also an in-universe term so it just sounds nicer to me too.

That's the type of info I was looking for. Lantern sounds good then.

[IAmBatman]

OK, just because there are a few changes here, I'd like to do some light testing, after which if things look good, I'll probably be happy to move right to final editing.

So I propose we move this to initial playtesting.

[Arkham]

Yea
