Plutus (💀🪙🐙) seems very cool, it both has high intrinsic value and synergizes with multiple identities.
Notes:
It re-plays any
Transaction
, which all earn credits (and some can also draw, install, advance, even gain a click, etc). Any archetype that wants a lot of credits may want this. For example, “flashing Government Subsidy back” brings up to twenty credits (+10[$]
for just[click], CARD
over two turns).It plays them clicklessly. Thus, any
Install 1 card from HQ
(Greasing the Palm, Peer Review) orGain [click]
(Red Level Clearance, Petty Cash) lets you fast-advance3/Y
’s; and evenPlace 1 advancement
(Key Performance Indicators) lets you never-advance a4/Y
.You could trash operations while rezzing, to clicklessly play one (immediately). But If you want to play those twice, its additional
Forfeit 1 agenda or Reveal and trash 3 cards from HQ
cost lets you rez it even before you scored any agendas (or if you just want to keep it). And could be ignored with Eminent Domain.
Synergies:
It “doubles” operations, which re-triggers the new Zwicky and Nebula (especially Gemilang), as well as Nuvem (FWIW).
It can forfeit a Greenmail, triggering Zwicky.
Cards are trashed
from HQ
, which triggers the new AU Co. ID.Three cards are trashed, which enables the new PT Untaian ID.
The cards are trashed
faceup
, which turns on Armed Asset Protection (a Transaction itself), Logjam, etc.

Compare:
- Bryan Stinson (
[click]: Play a transaction operation from Archives.
) - Corporate Town (
As an additional cost to rez this asset, forfeit 1 agenda.
) - Audacity (
Play only if there are at least 2 other cards in HQ. Trash all cards from HQ.
)
Flavor:
- Ploûtos (Plutus) was the Greek “God of Wealth” (
transaction
); and - Ploutōn (Pluto) was the “God of the Underworld” (
Archives
), AKA. Hades.
Ploutōn was frequently conflated with Ploûtos, the Greek god of wealth, because mineral wealth was found underground.
also if you trash three transactions (and can protect it for two more turns), the downside becomes an upside (since you're playing those operations clicklessly with Plutus, unlike if you'd played them from HQ).
