STORY & ILLUSTRATIONS No.09
The Eldlich Invasion
“Eldlixir”: a magical stone of desire that was created through secret arts. Its curse can turn the all forms of matter into gold and the living into the living dead, and it became the legend of “The Mythical Golden Land of Eldland”, from which no one has returned.
Eldlich the Golden Lord
The first and eternal king of the golden land, he overcame the curse of the Eldlixir (which radiates an endless number of desires and grudges) with his own sheer desire and greed.
The Golden Weapons Created By The “Golden Land”
Pot of Extravagance
In order to invade the outside world, “Eldlich” creates golden soldiers from a pot of transmutation that uses desires and greed as the prima materia.
Fallen Angel of the Golden Land
The ultimate weapon created by Eldlich. Shaped like a fallen angel, it descends upon the battlefield at the wishes and whims of the Golden Lord, razing the earth and laying waste to cities.

Fallen Angel of the Golden Land
~The Golden Lord With Insatiable Desires~
The more lands he conquered, the more enemies he slaughtered, the more his greed and desire grew ever deeper rather than subsided.
Everything that exists now in the present,
Everything that once existed,
Everything that has yet to exist,
He will surely make his own.
The Eldlixir glows crimson with his endless selfish desires and bottomless greed, as Eldlich the Golden Lord once again begins his invasion…..

“The ultimate weapon created by Eldlich” is something that just floats into himself?
Yeah, maybe he gets mad when you break it.
“There shall be no tombstones here in our Golden Land
Eternal play once you are slain, Submission to our guiding hand!”
“What’s your win con bro?
-Farming aura”- the deck
This lore is so ass cheeks bro. Whoever is writing these needs to be sent to Janitor duty.
It’s the lore for 3 cards, it’s not going to be long.
We need more actual trap monsters….
“A pot that uses greed and desires”
Say that again
The only story of monsters is that they are created from human feelings, who is the idiot wasting time with that instead of creating more cards?
I love the idea for getting all of the lore behind these decks, that’s cool. But these ones lately feel like they’re written by AI. Short and bland. I get that this one is only for a handful of cards but still
They could’ve made the Golden Lord manifest his greed into the fallen angel and make Eldlich rise to his true form once he absorbs the essence of the fallen angel, basically becoming greed itself.
But no, instead we got a creature whose lore doesn’t work with its gameplay at all.
Technically, Mad Golden Lord already occupies that spot and the lore ended there, but due to the new cards, it might be moved to another point in the chronology or given a new resolution
