Payoff

Deck

• Legend domains must cover Calm and Chaos — OGN-259 Unforgiven, SFD-195 Blade Dancer, UNL-193 Gloomist. Unforgiven doubles as the mover that walks the Porter home.

Prerequisites

• IT MOVES EXHAUSTED BODIES, WHICH IS THE ENTIRE POINT. A token enters exhausted (143.4) and cannot pay 144.2's exhaust for a Standard Move, which is #48's bottleneck; SFD-171 Renata Glasc, Industrialist solves it by making tokens enter ready (R25 = A) but she is mono-Order and 103.1.b.1 bars her from a Calm/Chaos deck. Fae Porter moves BY EFFECT — 420.2.a, and 420.3.a puts the exhaust cost only on the Standard Move — so it drags exhausted bodies out of your base with no readying at all.
• It is also not restricted to tokens. #48 measured that 'exactly ONE card in the pool relocates tokens in bulk — SFD-177 Azir, Sovereign', and Azir needs an enemy garrison to attack (807.1.d, 383.4.e). Fae Porter needs only a move, moves ANY unit you control, and eight instances relocate eight of them.
• THE CAP IS THE POWER, NOT THE INSTANCES, and the entry will not publish the eight without it. Each instance is 'you may pay 1 Chaos Power', so eight relocations cost EIGHT Chaos Power in one turn. Against #44's measured free floor of 2 Power a turn (164.2.b carries no exhaust, so an already-exhausted rune still pays), the sustainable setting is two or three a turn; eight needs a Power engine behind it. That is why this entry declares needs rather than pretending to be self-contained.
• Where they land: 'the same battlefield' is wherever the Porter moved, read at execution (359.3.f.2). Move him to a battlefield you already control and 190.3.a.1 applies no Contested, so the relocated bodies simply arrive; move him to an open one and the whole group Contests it together for the Showdown Conquer (344.2 → 348.2.a → 348.2.a.1).
• The Porter is a 4-Might body at M+0 from the gears (137.3), and 137.3.a detaches all three the instant he dies. He must MOVE each turn to fire, and the Standard Move is base-to-battlefield only (144.4), so a repeat needs him walked home — which is what Unforgiven's '2 Energy, exhaust: Move a friendly unit to or from its base' is for.
• Cost, counted whole: the Porter 4 Energy; each Svellsongur 3 Energy + 1 Calm Power to play PLUS 1 Energy + 1 Calm Power to [Equip]. 16 Energy and 6 Calm Power to assemble, then 1 Chaos Power per body relocated.
• A BLOODLESS CONQUER IS NOT A FAIT ACCOMPLI, AND 46 OF THE 47 ENTRIES CITING 344.2 DID NOT SAY SO (added 2026-09-12, #187 batch 25). **316.8.b.1.a**: during a Non-Combat Showdown *"units controlled by a different player may become present at the Battlefield where the Showdown is"*, which converts it to a COMBAT Showdown in the following cleanup - so the opponent can turn your uncontested walk-in into a fight. 316.8.c is the permission (a Showdown is a Window of Opportunity for [Action] and [Reaction] cards). **The answer set is THREE CARDS, swept on the ACTOR rather than on the destination**: `OGN-173 Ride the Wind` (Chaos, E2+1), `OGN-262 Zenith Blade` (Calm/Order, E3+2) and `SFD-184 Relentless Pursuit` (Fury/Body, E2+1) - twelve printings move a friendly unit, and nine of them send it to base or need a body already there. They span three identities, so **no identity is safe**; and `OGN-262 Zenith Blade` is the worst to walk into, because it STUNS your body on the way in, and 423.1.b removes a stunned unit`s contribution to the damage step while 423.1.c keeps its full Might as the price to kill it - one 3-Energy card takes the unit and the battlefield. **[Ambush] is not a fourth answer**: 822.1.b needs a battlefield where the player already has units, and the defining feature of that board is that they have none there. **THE REMEDY IS A COUNTERSPELL, AND A FIRST VERSION OF THIS NOTABLE SAID SOMETHING FALSE THAT IS WITHDRAWN HERE (corrected within the hour, 2026-09-12).** It said that because all three answers are [Action] and 358.4 admits an Action card only as the card that CLOSES the state, the attacker - who holds Focus by 345 and priority by 335.1 - could shut them out by playing any cheap Action card first. Every step is true and the conclusion is false, because **a Showdown is a LOOP, not a single window**: 346 - *"When the last item on the chain resolves and the turn returns to an Open State during a Showdown, Focus passes, and the next Player gains both Focus and Priority"* - with 347.1.b and 347.2.a. Closing the state buys a lock-out lasting exactly that CHAIN; when it resolves the Showdown reopens, Focus passes TO THE DEFENDER, and they play their answer into an open Showdown after all. **The real sequence**: walk in, take Focus, **PASS** (acting first gains nothing); they play the answer, which closes the state as it is played; **you COUNTER it**, since 358.4`s other half now admits only [Reaction] and all eleven of the pool`s counters are Reaction, and 425.1.c refunds them nothing; all players then pass in sequence, 347.2.a ends the Showdown, and 348.2.a with 348.2.a.1 give you Control and the Conquer. The cheap counter is `OGN-045 Defy` (Calm, E1 + 1 Power, *"counter a spell that costs no more than 4 Energy and no more than one rainbow"*), which covers all three answers; `OGN-064 Wind Wall` is the unconditional one. **So the protection narrows to pairs containing CALM** - it is not the one-Energy insurance any deck can buy.

Steps

1. Have a token faucet filling your base, and play Fae Porter (4 Energy).
2. Attach Svellsongur A, B and C to him in that order: 2, then 4, then 8 instances of his move trigger (434.1.c, 476.1, 477.2.c, 479.1, 480.3; R6 = A).
3. Main Phase: standard-move the Porter to the battlefield you want garrisoned (144.1.a, 144.2, 144.4.a).
4. Each of the eight instances resolves separately: pay 1 Chaos Power to move one unit you control — exhausted tokens included — to that same battlefield. Stop when the Power runs out.
5. If the battlefield was open, the arrivals Contest it (190.3.a.1) and the Showdown at the next Cleanup gives Control and a Conquer (344.2, 348.2.a, 348.2.a.1).
6. Walk the Porter home with the legend and repeat next turn.

Per iteration

up to 8 friendly units, exhausted or not, relocated per move — at 1 Chaos Power each

How it ends

engine — it garrisons a battlefield out of your base; the Conquer is what scores
