What to study

A targeting mode no other keeper shows: after choosing the card, the game asks for a direction, painting a red cone across the floor with a yellow arrow for the knockback path, so the player aims the shove, not just the target. The enlarged Limbo Portal card (Create a Portal. Free.) sits over a hand that includes Wolverine's Eviscerate, and the Heroism dial reads a full 10. Frame at about 0:19 in the Accolades trailer (Steam).
