Spirit Overview — Framing
Wiki-printed playstyle note:
Very positional; has a highly mobile Incarna (particularly with lots of Simpleair) that adds Strife and chases Explorer/Town around as it roams the island. Has a harder time setting up Dahan counterattacks, but can use Mind-Shattering Song to more directly harm Invaders with Strife - and earn a fair bit of Fear in the process.
Strategic framing [VERIFY: enhance with play experience].
Starting Setup
Put 2 Presence on your starting board: 1 in land #6 and 1 in land #7. Put {{incarna|voice}}, Unempowered ({{incarna|unempowered}}) side up, on your starting board in land #6. You start with your 4 Unique Power Cards and 0 Energy.
Growth Options (one)
| Growth | Effects |
|---|---|
| G1 | first=reclaim, second=addmovevoiceincarna, third=energy1 |
| G2 | first=addpresence3, second=addpresence1 |
| G3 | first=gain1p, second=addpresence2, third=energy1 |
Growth token reference (Wiki shorthand):
reclaim— Reclaim all discarded Power Cards.gain1p/gain2p— Gain 1 or 2 Power Cards (Minor).addpresence1/addpresence2/addpresence3— Add 1 Presence from track, Range N.energy1/energy2/energy3— +1/+2/+3 Energy.card1/card2— +1/+2 Card Plays this turn.- (Other tokens documented on Wiki Spirit template reference pages.)

Core Mechanics & Special Rules
Special Rule
A CLARION VOICE GIVEN FORMYou have an Incarna ({{incarna|voice}}). If Empowered, it Isolates its land. SPREAD TUMULT AND DELUSIONWhen your Actions add/move {{incarna|voice}} to a land with Invaders, Add 1 Strife in the destination land. In lands with or adjacent to {{incarna|voice}}: if Strife is present, Dahan do not participate in Ravage. (They do not take Damage or counterattack. Isolate has no effect on {{incarna|voice}} and Dahan being adjacent.) SENSELESS ROAMINGWhen your Actions add Strife to an Explorer/Town, you may Push it.
Innate: INSCRUTABLE JOURNEYING
- Speed: fast · Range: · Target: yourself
(no thresholds listed in Wiki)
Innate: MIND-SHATTERING SONG
- Speed: slow · Range: 1 (optionally from a sacred site) · Target: strife
| Level | Thresholds | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1  Moon + 2  Air | 1 Fear  per Moon you have. |

| 3 | 1 Sun + 1 Moon + 4 Air | For each Sun Moon pair you have, Destroy 1 Invader with Strife. |

Key Strategic Principles
[VERIFY and enhance] — strategic principles should be derived from Wiki-verified mechanics above.
- Use the Special Rule to its fullest (see above for exact text).
- Element thresholds drive innate firing — see the innate tables above.
- Suggested draft cards are Wiki-recommended; pattern-match to your matchup.
Opener Mechanics — starter reference
Auto-derived from data/references/wiki/wandering-voice.json. This section states the factual mechanics every opener must build on (starting income, growth options, innate thresholds, Fast-vs-Slow timing). It is not a strategic opener — use this as the foundation, then apply Deliberate Play + si-rules-check before writing T1/T2/T3 prose.
Starting state
- Setup: Put 2 Presence on your starting board: 1 in land #6 and 1 in land #7. Put {{incarna|voice}}, Unempowered ({{incarna|unempowered}}) side up, on your starting board in land #6. You start with your 4 Unique Power Cards and 0 Energy.
- Starting income (from
presence_energy_track[0]=energy0,presence_cardplay_track[0]=card1): 0 Energy · 1 Card Play - Hand at start: 4 Unique Power Cards (listed below)
- Growth type:
one— pick one growth option per turn
Growth options
- G1: reclaim (Reclaim all discarded+played Power Cards); addmovevoiceincarna ((spirit-specific:
addmovevoiceincarna— consult spirit panel)); energy1 ((track slot showing 1 Energy)) - G2: addpresence3 (Place 1 Presence from a track (Range 3)); addpresence1 (Place 1 Presence from a track (Range 1))
- G3: gain1p (Gain 1 Power Card (Minor unless otherwise noted)); addpresence2 (Place 1 Presence from a track (Range 2)); energy1 ((track slot showing 1 Energy))
Presence-track reveal rules: placing Presence (via a growth option with addpresence*) reveals one track slot — either the next Energy slot or the next Card-Play slot, not both. The choice determines your permanent-income trajectory from that turn onward.
Energy track
energy0 · energy1 · sunormoon · energy2 · air · energy4 · pushvoiceincarna — income as slots reveal: 0 → 1 → sunormoon → 2 → air → 4 → pushvoiceincarna
Card-play track
card1 · card2 · card2 · card3 · reclaim1 · card4 — CP as slots reveal: 1 → 2 → 2 → 3 → reclaim1 → 4
Innate Powers
- INSCRUTABLE JOURNEYING (Speed: Fast · Range: ? · Target: yourself)
- MIND-SHATTERING SONG (Speed: Slow · Range: 1 · Target: strife)
- L1 — 1 Moon + 2 Air: 1 Fear per Moon you have.
- L2 — 1 Sun + 2 Air: 1 Damage per Sun you have, to Invaders with Strife only.
- L3 — 1 Sun + 1 Moon + 4 Air: For each Sun Moon pair you have, Destroy 1 Invader with Strife.
- L1 — 1
Fast-phase element ceiling from Uniques
Fast innates resolve in Fast phase and can only see elements from Fast cards played before the innate. Slow-card elements arrive too late to feed a Fast innate. This is the element ceiling Fast plays from your Uniques alone can contribute each turn:
- Fast-phase Unique elements: (no Fast Uniques — all innate firings require drafted Fast cards)
- Fast-phase L1 ceiling from Uniques alone is sufficient — you can fire L1 T1 without drafting (play enough Fast Uniques to meet the threshold).
Unique Power Cards
No Unique cards parsed.
Invader phase by turn (base deck)
| Turn | Explore | Build | Ravage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ✓ | — | — | Ravage-protection effects are dormant T1. |
| 2 | ✓ | ✓ | — | First Build; Ravage-protection still dormant. |
| 3 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | First Ravage; Ravage-protection becomes material. |
| 4+ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | Full cycle continues. |
Adversary escalation can shift this — check the adversary JSON for deviations (Sweden front-loads a Build; some Habsburg levels add early Builds).
Pause-point before writing T1 prose
- Compute post-growth E/CP for every growth × track-choice branch. Don’t assume both tracks reveal simultaneously.
- Enumerate legal T1 plays — subsets of hand with sum(costs) ≤ E and count ≤ CP.
- Separate Fast vs. Slow elements — when claiming an innate fires, verify the threshold is met using only elements from its resolution phase (Fast sees Fast; Slow sees Fast + Slow).
- Flag dormant effects — Ravage-protection, Defend N, etc. are null T1/T2 in base play. Only cite them as opener value when the trigger actually occurs that turn.
- State per-turn material effect for every card play: Fear generated, units pushed/gathered/destroyed, elements contributed. Never narrate dormant effects as if they were active.

Strategy Cliffs — per-adversary-level shifts that change Wandering Voice Keens Delirium’s math
Not every adversary level is a linear scale-up — some levels flip specific rules that alter what your Powers accomplish. These are the cliffs most relevant to Wandering Voice Keens Delirium’s profile (Fear 3, Offense 2, Control 5, Defense 1, Utility 2).
England L5 — Buildings +1 HP
What changes: Towns become 3-HP (was 2), Cities become 4-HP (was 3). Damage-only Powers dealing 2 or 3 may no longer kill a Town/City in one go.
Mitigation for Wandering Voice Keens Delirium: Stack damage from multiple plays or use downgrade Powers (Crops Wither, Tangled Trees) to soften before finishing.
England L3 — Coastal Lands build faster
What changes: England’s L3 escalation adds an extra Build in coastal lands. Ocean-adjacent spirits see compounded pressure on their home terrain.
Mitigation for Wandering Voice Keens Delirium: Front-load coastal defense or disruption before T3’s first Ravage.
Russia L3+ — Dahan under pressure + fear suppression
What changes: Russia’s L3 escalation targets Dahan directly and suppresses Fear. Spirits reliant on Dahan density (Shadows of the Dahan, Favors Called Due, Thunderspeaker synergies) lose a key engine.
Mitigation for Wandering Voice Keens Delirium: Pre-empt Dahan loss with Defend-heavy Minors (Dahan/Village-fortify cards); lean on Push/Gather Majors to offset Fear deficit.
Habsburg Mining L5+ — Explorer/Town scaling
What changes: Habsburg Mining L5+ adds extra Explorers and faster builds. Aggressive fear-rush openers can get outpaced by raw Invader accumulation.
Mitigation for Wandering Voice Keens Delirium: Favor Major Powers with mass destruction (Jungle Hungers, Cleansing Floods, etc.) over Minor-heavy drafts.
France (Plantation) — Dahan capture threatens your Dahan engine
What changes: France’s plantation rules convert Dahan to colonists, and Invaders occupy lands with Dahan. Spirits whose innate/card math counts on Dahan density (Shadows-of-the-Dahan, Favors, Thunderspeaker) are downgraded.
Mitigation for Wandering Voice Keens Delirium: Play Defend Powers on Dahan lands; accept loss of range-extension budget.
