Every Hold at Reckoner's Arena replays a spell from the trash, and the spell budget is your own score
Pieces
- Kai'Sa, Evolutionary ×1
OGN-112 · payoff · mind
[Ganking] (I can move from battlefield to battlefield.) When I conquer, you may play a spell from your trash with Energy cost less than your points without paying its Energy cost. Then recycle it. (You must still pay its Power cost.)
- Reckoner's Arena ×1
OGN-286 · battlefield
When you hold here, activate the conquer effects of units here.
Payoff
Deck
- Legend domains need Mind; the source builds it under a Kai'Sa legend and the Arena is Colorless.
Prerequisites
- THE SPELL BUDGET IS YOUR SCORE, SO THE ENGINE ACCELERATES AS THE GAME GOES. 'Energy cost less than your points' - at 3 points it replays a 2-drop, at 7 it replays almost anything. The Arena's job is to make that happen every turn instead of once.
- THE POWER COST IS NOT WAIVED. The card says 'without paying its Energy cost' and its reminder spells out 'You must still pay its Power cost'. That is the difference between this and a free spell every turn.
- 'THEN RECYCLE IT' IS NOT A DRAWBACK, IT IS THE FUEL. 416.1.a puts the spell on the bottom of your Main Deck rather than leaving it in the trash, so the same spell can come back around - and 185 means no token can ever be the card chosen.
- THE BATTLEFIELD IS RANDOM AND CANNOT BE DOUBLED UP: random 1 of 3 in Duel (485.5) and Skirmish (487.5), chosen in Match (486.5); 103.4.c and Tournament Rules 402.1 forbid a second copy by name.
- She enters exhausted (143.4) with no [Accelerate], so the first Conquer is a turn after she lands - the source says outright that this one is 'not to play anything ASAP'.
Steps
- Take Reckoner's Arena with Kai'Sa, Evolutionary; the turn she can act, her Conquer replays a spell from the trash for its Power cost only.
- Survive the opponent's turn.
- Your Beginning Phase Holds the Arena: 1 point.
- The Arena activates the conquer effects of units there - her trigger fires again, replaying another spell whose Energy cost is under your current score.
- The spell is recycled to the bottom of your deck (416.1.a), so it can be drawn and used again.
- Repeat every turn she holds, with a bigger budget each time you score.
Per iteration
+1 free-Energy spell from the trash and +1 point per turn; you still pay each spell's Power
How it ends
engine only - one replayed spell a turn, with a budget that grows with your score

How this entry was audited
REFUTE = a refutation pass, with its date and verdict · WOUNDED = the pass found a flaw and the entry was rewritten · BUDGETED = the pass checked the recycle-and-draw ledger · lens = the hunt that proposed it.
HAND-WALKED 2026-09-06 (docs/phase0/walks/2026-09-06-issue62-section3.md), issue #62 section 3. OGN-112 Kai'Sa, Evolutionary appeared in no entry before this. The pairing is the same bridge as kaisa-survivor-arena-draw and the two are catalogued separately because the payloads are different kinds of resource and the two Kai'Sa are different cards in different domains - the source itself recommends one over the other for tempo reasons and plays them as alternatives. Card text verbatim from data/corpus_flat.txt. Trap check: no attack designation; no [Repeat]; no [Temporary]; no token; no recall; the Power cost is explicitly NOT waived, which is stated. Depends on no unruled reading.
