Official reminder text (hopefully for the last time):

* The keyword shift means:
Pay 1 or more resource points >>> Remove this card from the game shifted with that many shift counters. Use only if this card is in your hand.

* Cards have two additional powers while shifted:
Pay 1 resource point >>> Put a shift counter on this card.
Remove X shift counters >>> Put this card into play if you control X or more resources, where X is its cost. Use only during your recruit step.

So far the only modern age card that can work as a kill condition with the above mentioned combo is Strong Guy, Guido Carosella.

So, we will just have to wait and see the rest of the cards from X-Factor before we can effectively break this combo by turn 4.

Well.. has anyone thought of Surrouned... that plot twist would be brutal as well if this could get off... For golden anyway.
