Duke of Crows

Amount of cards: 13

Obtained by completing the Tales of Tribute tutorial.

My quest for information led me to a pocket realm known only as the Crow's Wood. Its most notable inhabitants are a murder of intelligent, talking birds who consider the place to be their personal kingdom. The Duke of Crows, the proudest of the flock, presides over the rest. As he tells it, he's "the smartest and biggest and loudest" crow in the murder.

The rest of the flock clusters and conspires around the Duke, plotting and politicking for status and favor. Woe betide any who get between these ravens and their “shinies.”

The Duke of Crow’s cards focus on creating combos that let you draw more cards,” explains Irenio Calmon-Huang, one of the Senior Systems Designers behind Tales. “It benefits from going heavily into the suit, perhaps more than any other deck. If you can reach the tipping point you may find yourself drawing most of your deck in a single turn.”

When activating the Duke of Crows’ Patron ability, you can gain a large amount of power quickly, but at a cost.

“The Duke of Crows, like his many subjects, adores shinies. He offers you power in exchange for Coin, while skimming a bit off the top. Unlike many other patrons, while he favors you, he will not offer you anything else. So, it is wise to save your use of the Duke for when you can really cash in your Coin for power or a patron victory.”
