“Saint Pelin's cards excel at two things: generating Power and getting agents with taunt onto the field,” says Irenio. “Several of Saint Pelin's agents are also excellent power generators themselves, helping push through your opponent's agents and then propelling you to a Prestige victory.”

If you need to put bodies between you and your opponent, Saint Pelin has reinforcements ready.

“Saint Pelin himself can restore agents from your cooldown to the top of your draw pile, getting them quickly back onto the field. One of the most opportune moments to call upon this patron power is also when you first lay claim to an agent from the Tavern, sending them to the top of your deck so you'll draw them immediately!”

You've heard the tale as my mother tells it, no doubt. Saint Pelin, giving his life in faith to defeat the massing Gray Host. Stendarr filling him with an "ocean of blood," so the bat-men could drink him dry again and again and again.

I ride in the Saint's name not because of children's tales, but because what faith, sword, and shield can do in the here and now. We hold the pass. We protect the weak. All in hopes we can be as brave as a humble chapel attendant like Pelin.

—Dame Aurenn Rodeau, the Order of Saint Pelin
