Draw 2 cards, heal yourself for 20. Sounds like a good deal to me. Both cards are also very viable on their own: Mercy is a nice addition for drawing them avatars when you need them.
 Rivaling Industry is nice for omnitron or side decking against CoV or OoS.

The rarity also allows this for a pretty neat combo in draft.

Poison Nova is useful as a potential mass wipe as it affects everything on the board including the Support/Command Zone.
Massproduced Care Package is kinda just a bundle of useful effects, but a bit more situational.
I feel like the combo is pretty clear. Poison everything and then heal only your cards.

Changed PN purity and damage values based on Hidings feedback as I don't have that much experience with the SoA faction.
Increased heal of MCP to make it a bit more useful in the more common case

Dave lets GI make a single big unit with constructor or just mass buffs well giving it a way to heal and stay alive, well also opening up for combos for cards like defense golem who are heavy on one stat.

Hyper Aggressive drone is pretty much a bad evolving parasite but it hurts alot if it hits the fort and giving it flying would let it do alot of damage until it takes a hit.

Flame Dawn Pyro

Character - Human
Cost: 4
Morale: 6
8/7

Flame Strike 3
When Pyro attacks a defending character it deals half its power (rounded down) in combat damage to the next 2 defending characters and immolates them for 1 damage per turn. ('next' characters are to the right of the card entering combat)


Wave of Fear

Ability - Magic
Cost: 4

When you play Wave of Fear, you may Overcharge it once.
Whenever an enemy character on the battlefield takes damage this turn it gets -2/-0 until the end of the turn and moves to the back of the zone (interrupting multi strike or unstoppable).
If you Overcharged Wave of Fear the damaged enemy characters are moved to the support zone if they have half health or less.
---
Pyro, a very useful card for Flame Dawn. I assume the immolate 1 overrides the flamestrike 3. Probably something Flame Dawn needs instead of more charge and bounces which have started to become overbearing.

Wave of Fear is a pretty nice tool that isn’t too OP I hope. Seems like a more interactive version of fear, though now you can run 2 fears in a deck which seems rather annoying (though one needs heatwave and 7 resources to pull off).
Together, it’s a solid combo even without the Fear overcharge to get through tokens. With fear overcharge it is now a pretty cool character based bounce which I feel is cooler and more interactive than easy Rally.

ToxicShadow

The Archivist
Purity: 1SoA
Cost: 5
Morale: 10
Type: Unique Character - Undead
Rarity: Epic
Stats: 8/8

When you deploy the Archivist, you may overcharge him with an ability card. If you do, raise up to two non-unique characters from your graveyard. Their combined cost must be 4 or lower.

If the Archivist is removed from the game while in the graveyard, search your deck for an ability card with cost 4 or lower. Take this card to your hand.

He remembers everyone and everything that has ever been. Except for his own life before undeath.


Lightning Arch
Purity: 2 Verore
Cost: 3
Type: Ability
Rarity: Uncommon

Target two deployed characters your opponent controls. Both of them take 2 damage. If they are in the same zone, all characters positioned inbetween them also take 2 damage.

If you draw this card by other means than the regular card draw at the start of your turn, all damage dealt by all Lightning Arch cards in your hand, deck or graveyard is permanently increased by 3.

If this card is removed from the game, reset the bonus damage on all Lightning Arch cards and shuffle it back into your deck instead.

---
I rather like Archivist. A solid revive card for its cost that can get you stuff you need from your grave (like maybe 2 last sleepers?). The second part is a good soft counter to graveyard removal like with Spirit guide or Soldier of Purity. I’d say a definite draft card. A bit weird that Sleepers gets a spell fetch but hey why not.
Lightning Arch seems like a bad heat wave at first glance, but then you realize it recycles itself, can be used as overcharge fodder and scales with intense card draw. I like the positioning idea, this game should have more spells that deal with positioning within zones I feel as it is a yet not well explored design direction.
I think it’s pretty nice that you can use one of the cards to get the other. You may not even see the combo at first unless its pointed out tbh but I take that as a good thing.

Exhaust, Pay 2: Increase the resource cost of target card in play, graveyard or hand by 2. Llywelyn cannot target the same card until the end of the next turn. Cards in the deployed area that have their resource cost increased this way cannot be affected by effects of cards with a lower resource cost.

Serena seems rather slow at first especially if you are using her for character revival/stealing, however if you consider that she can steal spells like Calamity or get your own stuff back it appears to be well worth it. Also considering that Exiles has all the force discard mechanics, you can potentially steal some good stuff.
I like that Llywelyn plays around with card costs. She really helps out when it comes to big things that need protection. She may be a bit strong as a 0 cost 2/6 in terms of tempo but hopefully the safety of the command as well as her huge morale cost offsets this. I can really see her working out with Warpath combined with skraar to eat everthing without taking any damage.
Together, you can increase the cost of things then sacrifice them to retrieve useful things from the graveyard. A decent combo, but I’m not sure how much more useful it’s gonna be than just playing big things then sacrificing them when they about to die. Seems like an unnecessarily large amount of resources and board presence to sacrifice for an ok effect.

Number11

Fleeting Virus
1 purity SoA - Rare
3 cost
Ability

Target up to four deployed characters with a sum of cost less than 5. You gain control of target characters until the end of turn (They remain in the same respective zones).

Emergency Defense
2 purity DoD - Uncommon
1 cost
Ability

Target any number of characters you control. All target characters are moved to the defense zone and will die at the end of the battle phase.
---
Perhaps “move them to your side in the same respective zones” would be a better way of wording. Pretty cool ability I say. Will probably make for crazy clutch plays though tbh I feel Sleepers really doesn’t need any more stall cards, perhaps better off as Exiles- Acts of Insanity.
Emergency Defense would be pretty amazing if you can soft target opponent characters or even graveyard in case you are reviving things or mind controlling things. A reasonable card if you need a clutch defense, but tbh Im not sure you would see it used much outside of maybe Avatars but even then it’s much too slow.
Combined you can squish a bunch of weenies and maybe get a few chump blocks out of your opponents characters while removing them for a turn allowing you to get an attack through. Extra fun if you mind control a last sleeper and it ends up in your graveyard.

Azazel seems like a pretty ideal card to use with Nysrugh. You can also use it with Splat or maybe splash verore for more sacrifice effects. However, he costs a bit too much and is extremely removable. Not sure how useful this card would be.
Interdimensional phase suit hmm. Play lucca [+3/3], play this on her, play cta [+6/6], end of turn [+9/+9] total. Not too op I guess that’s 8 resources. I feel combined with Dojo, this card could be potentially crazy with the replicating of Avatars or other things, but then it’s a slow combo even if you get to keep all your clones. Seems like a fun card to maybe mess around with.
Ofc course once all your lucca’s or whatever other cards you replicated dies, you supercharge Azazel, unfortunately he’s probably just going to be kidnapped or death rayed almost immediately after.

---
Mercy seems like a very powerful card that DoD early game could probably find useful, unfortunately Im not sure allowing it to be so easily added to mill decks is such a good thing maybe increase the purity or something, probably even to 3 to make it not so easily abused early game. Remember your opponent cannot heal over 100 fortress health without something allowing it to so playing it turn 2 just gives you 2 cards.
Rivaling Industry seems like a very very niche card tbh I cant imagine it being used anywhere really other than maybe against Angels to counter Azael a bit. Against DoD it isn’t going to help much tbh, resources would be much better off spent mass buffing your robots asap.
Together, it’s a decent combo mostly because Mercy is such a powerful card. Getting those extra cards +10 extra health could make up for the tempo lost playing Rivaling Industry, but I feel if people were to run Mercy they still wouldn’t run Rivaling just because its so niche.

Poison Nova is a straight up better version of Acid Rain. Lets assume they rebalanced Acid Rain to Poison Nova. It’s now perfectly viable and probably screws over FD quite a bit. Combine with a few Fears to soften the opponent up. Hopefully if any of your zombies survive they can defend long enough to play Hehkeem.
Massproduced Care Package seems like it would be useful in keyword meta. As of right now, it’s rather underpowered and too slow to be of much use.
Of course combining the two cards gives a onesided poison that also heals your stuff. Pretty potent, the longer you stall the better it gets.

Dave seems like he would be a pretty good addition to a constructor type deck in order to keep healing it as long as it isn’t killed by all the 20 different removal cards. I can see him being pretty good in draft to kill Defense Golems maybe or as a soft counter to mispredicted martyr golems. Otherwise I cant say I see him being all that used in traditional GI decks we got these days that involve blind mass buffing.
Hyper Aggressive drone seems like an extremely weak flame dawn death ray, but can do ridiculous surprise damage if you give it charge. I think it’s a solid concept but probably wont be used much outside draft or maybe constructor FD decks to add 20 damage to something.
Together these 2 cards do kinda alright. I mean healing something fully that only has 1 health doesn’t really do much, but then if you get it to 1/20 you can play mind games whether or not you’re going to be attacking and surprise switching or keep it as a blocker. Not bad, but I don’t feel the combo would be ever used much.

I just want to reiterate that combat damage is not stopped by Llywelyn's protective effect.
But yes, Hiding got it right with how it can be wasteful with turns in conjunction with Serena.
I suppose it could work in Enyah decks running Ju Lin and Phase Bots though.
