Hero (CS card 002)

Hero (主人公, Shujinkō) is a Mastermind-class character card from the Genso Suikoden Card Stories TCG. It is part of the Booster Pack Vol.1 expansion and is the card numbered 002.

Release Information
This card was first released as card number 002 in the original Starter Box & Booster Pack Vol.1 release with artwork by Ishikawa Fumi. It was a Booster Pack Vol.1 card, card number 002 in that set. It would later receive a Premium Pack version. Its artwork, card text, and attributes are identical to the original card. That card is card number 001 of the Premium Pack expansion and card number 258 overall.

This card was later remade for Genso Suikoden Card Stories Chapter II's To the Promised Land expansion as CS2-376/R002 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 CS2-376/R002 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.

Card Text
This Mastermind card holds an ongoing, passive ability. This card makes it so that completed Facilities cards earn the player 1 VP per completed Facilities card, rather than the standard 1 VP per two completed cards.

This ability can encourage greater Craftman card use, which also unburdens the player further from camp restrictions. Still, befitting the diversity of the force, this Mastermind card already allows Leader cards from four different camps, a large number.
