Payoff
Deck
- Legend domains must cover Calm (Ribbon Dancer, Svellsongur) and Order (Fiora) — OGN-261 Radiant Dawn, SFD-247 Emperor of the Sands, UNL-195 / UNL-233 Green Father, VEN-147 Eye of Twilight.
Prerequisites
- 709 IS AN EVENT AND THE +1 IS EXACTLY THE RIGHT SIZE FOR IT. 708 makes a unit Mighty at 5+ Might and 709 says it 'becomes Mighty at the moment its Might changes from being less than 5 to being 5 or greater' — with the worked example 'A Unit with Might 4 that gets +1 becomes Mighty.' Ribbon Dancer's +1 is that example, eight times over, each instance choosing a different friendly unit.
- SO THE ENGINE IS CAPPED BY YOUR BOARD, NOT BY THE GEAR. Only a body sitting at exactly 4 Might converts a +1 into a ready; a 3-Might body needs two instances aimed at it and a 5-Might body is already Mighty, which 709's own example spells out ('A Unit with Might 5 that gets +1 does not become Mighty, because it was already Mighty'). Eight instances therefore ready at most eight units, and in practice as many 4-Might bodies as you have. The entry declares the mechanism, not a promised number.
- IT IS A CONTINUOUS MODIFIER, NOT A BUFF. 'Give another friendly unit +1 Might this turn' places no 702 buff counter, so 702.3's one-per-unit cap never applies and two instances aimed at the same 3-Might body stack to 5 — the same distinction CLAUDE.md draws for Lee Sin, Centered and Soul Shepherd. It also means nothing here feeds a 'spend a buff' cost (OGN-146 Wallop, SFD-101 Fae Dragon): those need a real buff, and this is not one.
- The readies are the product: 1 Order Power each, on units that have already acted this turn. That is a second Standard Move (144.2 charges the exhaust), a second activation of any exhaust ability, or a defender readied mid-turn. Eight Order Power is far past #44's free floor of 2 a turn, so the honest ceiling is two or three readies unless a Power engine is behind it.
- The Dancer must MOVE to a battlefield each turn to fire, and 'another friendly unit' excludes herself. She is a 3-Might body at M+0 from the gears (137.3), and 137.3.a detaches all three when she dies.
- Cost, counted whole: Ribbon Dancer 3 Energy, Fiora 3 Energy, each Svellsongur 3 Energy + 1 Calm Power to play PLUS 1 Energy + 1 Calm Power to [Equip]. 18 Energy and 6 Calm Power, then 1 Order Power per ready.
Steps
- Play Fiora, Worthy (3 Energy) and Ribbon Dancer (3 Energy).
- Attach Svellsongur A, B and C to the Dancer in that order: 2, then 4, then 8 instances of 'When I move to a battlefield, give another friendly unit +1 Might this turn' (434.1.c, 476.1, 477.2.c, 479.1, 480.3; R6 = A).
- Main Phase: standard-move the Dancer to a battlefield (144.1.a, 144.2, 144.4.a).
- Resolve the eight instances one at a time, aiming each at a different friendly unit sitting at exactly 4 Might. Each crosses the line and 709 fires 'becomes Mighty'.
- Fiora's trigger goes up for each: pay 1 Order Power to ready that unit. Every readied body can now move again, defend, or pay a second exhaust cost.
- Repeat next turn once the Dancer is home and readied at Awaken (315.1.b).
Per iteration
up to 8 friendly units readied per move, one Order Power each, capped by how many sit at exactly 4 Might
How it ends
engine — a mass untap; it scores nothing by itself

AUTHORED 2026-09-06 from issue #160. SFD-038 was an uncatalogued partner of svellsongur-copy AND of fiora-buff-ready (98 partners, 4 entries) — the two richest rules in the file meeting on one card. Card text verbatim from data/corpus_flat.txt; 137.3, 137.3.a, 144.1.a, 144.2, 144.4.a, 315.1.b, 434.1.c, 476.1, 477.2.c, 479.1, 480.3, 702.3, 708 and 709 opened in the Core Rules file. Stands on R6 = A and R9; no new reading. The rule fiora-buff-ready states in its own why — 'whether a given buff crosses that line depends on the unit's printed Might, so this lists the Might sources, not a promise' — is honoured rather than glossed: the entry's ceiling is the number of 4-Might bodies you control, and it says so.
