The Cardiff Giant
Overview
All Earth Beastie Pages you Contract cost 1 less Earth Aura.
Power: False Excavation
This power can only be activated when The Cardiff Giant is targeted by an Attack and The Cardiff Giant does not have to be Fatigued to Activate it. Select up to 3 Earth Beasties in your Limbo or Cemetery and show them to your opponent. You may pay Aura equal to their total Aura cost minus one for each Beastie selected to place those Beasties in the Arena as Defenders for the Attack targeting The Cardiff Giant. If you do, The Cardfidd Giant is destroyed and sent to the Afterlife at the end of the turn.
