How players use it
- King of Progress Executioner plan (Vao): look for an Executioner and an Overhaul in the opening hand. Use Concabulator and Overhaul for early base levels, then overhaul every spare card each year. Futurism lets troops level to 99, and Vao’s Executioner can carry the run by years 8 to 10.
How to get it
- In the King of Progress's 9-card deck: a run as this king can start with it, and losing a battle offers cards from your own deck.
- Loot after beating the King of Progress in battle when that king is one of your enemies.
- Merchant: Jack of Arms (troops).
- Joker mode: pick it for a custom deck.
