Backstory
Yisan is on a mission to disrupt; to innovate.
His passion for environmental causes is a primary driver for his work in the natural space, and Yisan is always looking to engage with like-minded professionals by inviting them to join his network on LinkedIn.
Yisan's pursuit of personal improvement has introduced him to multiple venture capitalists, life coaches, and fellow founders, and he continues to seek the project that connects his intuitive Millennial technological fluency with the deep-seated need to affect the planet for the better through positive social impact.
Gameplay
Yisan enhances his individual skill set by playing cards under specific conditions. And because he learns from his failures as well as his successes, every time he pitches his start-up or networks, he is being mentored by life coaches and venture capitalists he has met along the way.
Cards are eligible for upgrade post-game after the precise set of conditions is met.
Sometimes, the upgrade is a straight-swap and sometimes the deck pilot can make a choice as to which card comes out for the new card.
Card Upgrade/Swap Triggers
The following cards become available to the deck after the triggering card resolves while both Yisan and a Life Coach are on the battlefield:
Wanderlust --> Far Wanderings
Nissa's Expedition --> Khalni Heart Expedition
Desert Twister --> Lignify
Predator's Howl --> Howl of the Night Pack
AEther Searcher --> Soul of Zendikar
The following cards become available to the deck after the triggering card resolves while both Yisan and a Venture Capitalist are on the battlefield:
Foundry Assembler --> Heroes' Bane
Chief of the Foundry --> Predator Ooze
Pause for Reflection --> Grapple with the Past
Lost in the Woods --> Embodiment of Insight
Seek the Horizon --> New Horizons
The following cards become available to the deck after the triggering card resolves with specific Yisan and Life Coach and/or Venture Capitalist conditions on the battlefield:
Yisan + Venture Capitalist OR Life Coach:
Meandering Towershell --> Soul of the Harvest
Yisan + Venture Capitalist AND Life Coach:
Rust Tick --> Deal Broker
