Agares (CS card 009)

Agares (アガレス, Agaresu) is a Leader-class character card from the Genso Suikoden Card Stories TCG. It is part of the Booster Pack Vol.1 expansion and is numbered 009.

Release Information
This card was first released as card number 008 in the original Starter Box & Booster Pack Vol.1 release with artwork by Yashioka Shō. It was exclusive to the Starter Box and was card number 001 in that set.

It would later receive a Premium Pack version using Suikoden II character artwork from Ishikawa Fumi. Its card text and attributes are identical to the original card. That card is card number 007 of the Premium Pack expansion and card number 264 overall.

This card was later remade for Genso Suikoden Card Stories Chapter II's To the Promised Land expansion as CS2-384/R009 with updated artwork and card text to better reflect its abilities and the changes in the game between the original Genso Suikoden Card Stories and Chapter II.

For Genso Suikoden Card Stories Chapter II purposes, its CS2-384/R009 card text is considered an erratum to the card text listed here, regardless of if a player is using the original or remake card in their actual deck. There are no real differences between the different versions of this card in terms of play, however.

Game Text
This Leader card holds a passive ability. While on the field (i.e. deployed to a non-cleared Mission card or a Facilities card), all character cards with a Royal Army camp allegiance gain +100 MIL.

Perhaps crucially, the card makes no distinction as to whether the card is on your side or your opponent's, the only qualifier is the camp allegiance. Nor is the effect limited to the mission this card is deployed to.
