Pieces

• Find Your Center ×3 OGN-047 · engine · calm

  [Action] (Play on your turn or in showdowns.) If an opponent's score is within 3 points of the Victory Score, this costs 2 Energy less. Draw 1 and channel 1 rune exhausted.

• Leona, Zealot ×3 OGN-079 · payoff · calm

  If an opponent's score is within 3 points of the Victory Score, I enter ready. Stunned enemy units here have -8 Might, to a minimum of 1 Might.

Payoff

Deck

• Both cards are mono-Calm, so 103.1.b.3 admits any legend with Calm in its pair.
• Neither card is banned or restricted in either format, and neither is a Signature card.
• An opponent at 5 or more points under 194.3's Victory Score of 8, or 8 or more under 489.3's 11 in 2v2. Both cards are blank before that.

Prerequisites

• THE CLAUSE IS A FAMILY OF FIVE AND IT SPLITS BY WHOSE SCORE. Swept: `grep -in "within 3 points"` returns OGN-047 Find Your Center and OGN-079 Leona, Zealot (both Calm, both reading an OPPONENT's score - a comeback clause), SFD-201 Chem-Baroness (reading YOURS - a closing clause), UNL-116 Poppy, Paragon and VEN-091 Corrupted Dragon. Same six words, opposite meanings; a deck that mixes them is running half its cards for the wrong half of the game.
• AND THE THRESHOLD MOVES BETWEEN FORMATS. 194.3 puts the Victory Score at 8, so 'within 3' is an opponent at 5. 489.3 puts it at 11 in 2v2, so the same clause reads an opponent at 8 - three points later in a longer game. Every entry in this catalogue that quotes a point total states which format it means, and this pair is a case where the CONDITION itself moves.
• WHAT THE DISCOUNT ACTUALLY BUYS. Find Your Center at 1 Energy for 'Draw 1 and channel 1 rune exhausted' is two resources for one, and the rune half is not dead late: 164.2.b's cost is the RECYCLE and not the rune's exhaust, so a rune channelled exhausted is 1 Power of its domain at [Reaction] speed immediately and 1 Energy from your next Awakening (415.3.a). 161.2.a caps the Rune Deck at exactly twelve and 430.3 channels 'as many as possible', so late in a game the channel half is the part that stops paying, not the draw.
• AND WHAT 'I ENTER READY' IS WORTH ON A SIX-DROP. 143.4 makes units enter exhausted and 144.2 makes that exhaust the Standard Move's cost, so Leona lands and walks in the same turn - which on a 6 Might body is the difference between contesting a battlefield this turn and next. 415.1 is why it is worth exactly one turn: 'enters ready' is a play-time property and never hands an exhaust back later.
• HER SECOND CLAUSE IS A DIFFERENT CARD AND IS ALREADY CATALOGUED. 'Stunned enemy units here have -8 :rb_might:, to a minimum of 1' is walked as leona-zealot-stun-might-collapse and leona-zealot-stun-lethal-spread; this entry is about the FIRST clause, which those two do not use, and the two axes want different decks - one wants stun effects, this one wants to be losing.
• THE FLOOR ON THAT SECOND CLAUSE IS WORTH KNOWING EVEN HERE. 477.3.b snapshots a floored reduction at the size it is applied to, so -8 to a minimum of 1 aimed at a 3 Might body generates -2 and is remembered at -2 for the turn even if that body grows. It is an enormous number that behaves like a small one against small targets.
• WHAT IT IS NOT. Nothing here scores; 469 defines Scoring as Conquer or Hold. These are cards that make losing cheaper, not cards that win.

Steps

1. Run both only in a deck that expects to be behind - both clauses are blank while the opponent is under 5 points (194.3), or under 8 in 2v2 (489.3).
2. Once an opponent is within 3 of the Victory Score, Find Your Center costs 1 Energy: draw 1 and channel 1 rune exhausted.
3. That rune is 1 Power of its domain at once (164.2.b, whose cost is the recycle) and 1 Energy from your next Awakening (415.3.a).
4. Leona, Zealot (6 Energy + 1 Power) now enters ready, so she can pay 144.2's exhaust and contest a battlefield the turn she lands.
5. Do not build the deck around her second clause here - the stun axis is a different pair of entries and a different shell.

Per iteration

a card and a rune for 1 Energy, and a 6 Might body that moves the turn it lands - both only while an opponent is within 3 of the Victory Score

How it ends

engine only - three of each by 103.2.b, and both cards are blank until the opponent is at 5 points (194.3) or 8 in 2v2 (489.3); nothing here scores
