Casting Call
(Easy)
Finally, the Shadowfist movie is getting off the ground, and it's quite star-studded. The actors are all in-character, but for previous roles! The stars were picked for their names- literally. All of the actors share a name- first or last- with the character they play. (Though their first name might be the character's surname, or vice versa.) Each listing below has a description of a role famously played by an actor or actress, and a description of a character in Shadowfist. For example, the listing “Kung Fu Panda as Hard-Boiled Policeman” would lead to “Jack Black as Jack Donovan”. See if you can get this production back on track by figuring out who's supposed to play what.
#1: Invincible Sword Princess, as a Cunning Eunuch Mastermind
#2: Space Mercenary with a Funny Hat, as a Sinister Clergyman
#3: Female Yakuza Mastermind, as a Corrupt Police Chief
#4: Beautiful Lifeguard, as a Kung Fu Conspirator
#5: Roguish Pirate Captain as a Guy Who Needs a Haircut
#6: Disappearing Super-Heroine, as a Laterally Reincarnated Scientist
#7: Full-Contact Archeologist, as a Mafia Leg-Breaker
#8: One Bad Mother, as a Whole Group of Bad Mothers
#9: Various Sketch Comedy Characters, all as new Purist with his Hands Full.
#10: And posthumously featuring God, as a Cyborg Monkey

Puzzle Garden #4 Snapshot
It's that time again. You're playing a Lotus Eunuch deck. You are Dueling with Colleen, and she's playing Ascended/Dragons. It's only a matter of time before she draws a Golden Comeback. If you're going to win the game, you'd better do it now.
It is the start of your Main Shot. You just drew an Infernal Pact, and you've got quite a variety of Lotus and Magic cards in your deck. Can you win the game this turn?
Your cards:
Hand: Desolation, Gao Zhang (TW), Identity Chop Shop, Infernal Pact, LaGrange Four, Petal's Attendant
Power 2
Shamanistic Punks, Shamanistic Punks, Shadow Creeper, Shadow Creeper, Doomed Lackey
Mountain Fortress (1 damage, 4 body)
Identity Chop Shop (no damage, 8 body)
Imperial Boon
(No cards in your smoked pile, One card Burned for Victory.)
Colleen's Cards
Power: 1. No cards in hand.
Diamond Beach w/ Security (no damage, 9 body)
Tangram Alley (no damage, 12 body, “Lotus”)
(Two cards Burned for Victory.)
(A plethora of Ascended and Dragon hitters in her smoked pile, enough to ruin your day if she gets a chance to Golden Comeback any of them.)
