Those of you who like your heroes with an extra touch of class will be glad to know that Suits are back in Omens and Legacies. In fact, with quite a few new heroes and Suit-specific actions on the way, the Suit deck is poised to become a force to be reckoned with. Here’s a preview of some of the best.

As with the Huntik Foundation’s Eathon Lambert, we get a peek at the Organization past with The Professor, Organization Founder. The beginnings of the Organization apparently included a recruiting drive—this Professor cranks out Suits to like there’s no tomorrow. With just 1 ATK and 1 DEF, these early recruits aren’t exactly an elite fighting force, but they’re plenty useful. They can start combats or block your opponent’s movement. They’re also perfect for taking exhaust actions, leaving your more capable troops to do the fighting.

From these humble beginnings, the Suit army grew into a much more efficient force. The epitome of Suit training is represented by Suit, Ms. Moon, Double Agent. That’s right—Zhalia Moon, the Suit! Turns out she was a spy for the Organization all along. This card represents Zhalia before she went undercover.

Zhalia’s Suit version is notable for being the first major hero Suit. Her 5 ATK / 4 DEF stats are about average for a major hero, but her ability is a killer. She can strike your opponent’s heroes anywhere on the mission map, picking off heroes left by themselves, or with the help of a Strikemode, wiping out several of your opponent’s heroes at once.

This card offers a lot of strategic options. Ms. Moon is a great deterrent—just having her in Zone 1 forces your opponent to play around her ability to avoid losing their heroes, which can put them into a really tough situation. If you’ve got the cunning and the patience, you can lure your opponent into a trap by waiting to play your Zhalia until late in the round.

Zhalia won’t usually stay in play very long, especially after you’ve used her ability and left her exposed in Zone 3. But the thing about Suits is, there’s always more on the way. Send Backup, a free action, lets you recruit Suits from your discard pile and can even place them forward on the map.

This card is an obvious choice to go with Ms. Moon, Double Agent. Anything that lets you get an extra major hero into play gives you a big edge on your opponent. It’s also great on any mission that requires you to take exhaust actions in zones 3 or 4. The Professor, Organization Founder and his Suit tokens come in handy for setting up Send Backup. If you aggressively move a Suit token forward, your opponent may be hesitant to send one of their heroes in to fight it, fearing the retaliatory strike from the 4 ATK / 5 DEF Professor or a combat trick like Strikemode. Punish them by dropping Ms. Moon, Double Agent or Suit, Mr. Koskin, Elite Agent (from Legendary Saga), from your discard pile into play.

With several other new Suit heroes and some new actions coming, the Suit deck is going to be one to watch out for after the release of Omens and Legacies. Get the drop on your opponents and start amassing your Suit army at the Omens and Legacies Sneak Preview!
