Looking over a Card: Silent Sentinel

Sabotage, one of the best and worst features of ChronX in so many ways. Many assets have this keyword (Meaning they can only be blocked by assets with the AntiTerrorism Keyword) and if you do not have the right defense, then they cannot be stopped.

So each Domain has their own AT assets to block and counter the Sabo assets that are out there. Some domains are better at the attack with these assets (Corporate and NoNames) while others are superior in defense (FUS and UN).  But really hands down the best defender against the Sabotage Asset is the

Silent Sentinel

Cheap, Common, an early Release (Defiance) and resilient.
With an 8 Armor  and 4 HP he can take a single shot from an Anceph Warrior and still be around. Pretty spendy to attack with at 3 Mil, the main advantage lies in the Silent Sentinel Special. They take no damage when blocking a Sabotage Asset. This makes them, not entirely, difficult to take out when that is the attack strategy. Against Jacqueline, Twilight Fugitive, Black Army Saboteur, Mother Earth Saboteur (Mom), or even Raul Grange, the Sentinel cannot be touched.

In the 15 some years of playing ChronX it still ranks in my top 5 favorite cards. For the simple reasons of cool card art, great special, fits in with my very defensive style of normal play.

By himself he is awesome. But paired with another of my favorite cards and it is killer combo.

Enter Poxing Gloves. Again some of the best art (it reminds me of the Yakusa cards rendered by B.J. Johnson) , with the best effect. It kills any asset not immune to Poison. So you have an AT Asset that cannot be hurt and then you add in an Instant Kill and it makes short work.

So check it out in your deck. Only 8 cards (4 of each) and you have a very hard hitter.
