# Timelines

## Voiceless Skies

Causes it so that if you have one agent in play, that agent gets +3 / +3.
With deplete, you can ensure the player ideally can never properly take advantage of the timeline.

It turn on some of your key board survival cards, like [[Braindead Bouncer]] and [[Nameless Spirit]].

It also notably interacts with [[Phase]]. So you can phase your [[Sensory Deprivation Pod]] to potentially activate Voiceless Skies for your other blocker, or use [[Bury the Evidence]] if you have two 1 / 1 cards and need to remove one.  

# Mechanics

## Deplete

Prevents a card from attacking and blocking if they have not already attacked or blocked. Also prevents a card from being activated, although outside of [[Mind Over Matter]] during [[Voiceless Sky]], the opposing agent can always activate in a response.

Cards:
- [[Return to Stillness]]

Payoff:
- [[Telepathic Scavenger]]

## Mute

Can remove all keywords and effects on an agent. Note the order matters. If you mute a target, and an effect gets added on after, the agent will have the newly added effect while still being considered muted.

Cards: 
- [[Muffle]]

Payoff:
- [[Destiny Ripper]]

## Revival

Can bring cards back from the dead. Currently mostly a mechanic in practice for keeping [[Somnus, the Dreaming]] alive.

Cards:
- [[The Forgotten Tale]]

Payoff:
- [[Solemn Attendant]]

## Spell Duplication

Has access to duplicating spells.

Cards:
- [[Disciplined Student]]
