If you're wondering the best way to play my cards, look no further. All you've gotta do is chain them together to beat the bad guys and save the day all by yourself. You can even use the powers and cards of other heroes and do it way better than them too. And don't forget to play the Best Card Ever.



* RoguesGallery: My Nemeses are Wager Master, a blue space gnome with a gambling addiction, Argentium, some silent metal blob man thing, Cueball, who hangs out on the World's Largest Pool Table and has a head shaped like guess what, and the Green Grosser, a green-skinned nut who rigs fruit to explode and declared war on Christmas. Why do I get all the weirdos, anyway?

Wacky Guy isn't a trope anymore, it seems.


* SelfProclaimedLoveInterest: Self-Proclaimed? What are you talking about! Me and Cary totally have a Batman-Catwoman thing going on!



* WackyGuy: And what, there's something wrong with that? C'mon, you'd miss me if I wasn't around to shake things up.

Hey everyone. Guise here. And I am the best hero in literally all of everything. Sure, I used to be a simple tabloid reporter (lies, all lies!) until I made my debut in my own mini-expansion (courtesy of the good people at Greater Than Games) but I knew that I, Guise, was destined to be the best hero ever!

I've got two alternate forms, too! '''Santa Guise''' brings the joy of Gift-Mas to the battlefield, while '''Completionist Guise''' owns every single promo of every single hero!

!!Now lemme think, tropes that apply to me...

* AchillesHeel: Psst. Don't tell the bad guys, but my deck kinda falls apart if I can't get a good card churn or something stops me from playing; all my Ongoings explode after a turn, and they're most of what keeps me operating, so I need to keep replacing them when they get taken out!
* AirGuitar: I don't actually do this, but my player can do this on Let Me See That... Cool effect too.
* AntiHero: Okay, look, I keep saving the day, got it? Sure, I'm not a saint, but who is? (Stupid Legacy and his boy scout antics...)
* ArmorPiercing: When I'm X-Treeeeeme any damage I do is Irreducible, and can't be redirected as a fringe benefit!
* AttackDeflector: Inverted! My X-Treeeeme card prevents my damage from being redirected! Also grants my attacks ArmorPiercing!
** As for playing it straight, when I'm a Total Beefcake I can redirect damage to the villains!
* AttentionWhore: ''Whoa!'' How'd this get here? ''Rude.''
* BackFromTheDead: Okay, so the official story on paper is that I got crushed by some debris when Wager Master said hi, and the residual implausibility from said debris transferred into me.
** Also, I kind of sort of turned into a puddle of sludge during Oblivaeon but then the Scholar, My hero, saved me and now I’m back and better than ever.
* BadassSanta: When the other holidays declare war on Christmas, it's up to ''me'' to save the day! As usual.
* BerserkButton: Wager Master really ticked me off by putting his drink on my table without a coaster! [[EvilIsPetty He makes stuff float! He had half a dozen things floating next to him right then!]]
* BreakingTheFourthWall: I love doing that. Heck, I'm doing it right now! Look, I'm still doing it! ([[WordOfGod Christopher and Adam]] say that I'm just delusional and ''think'' I'm in a comic book, but who listens to those guys anyway?)
* CharacterDevelopment: I was awesome before, but I got even better after hanging with the Scholar for a while!
* {{Combos}}: Basically the entire point of my deck, especially with my standard variant (which can play extra cards with its power), is to come up with absurd antics involving nailing my stuff together in destructive ways and possibly borrowing stuff from everyone else: Guise the Barbarian with Blatant Reference for heavy damage, for example, or sweeping the field by grabbing Mr Fixer's Jack Handle or Dual Crowbars and then chaining Best Card Ever into Hey, Look What I Found, or spamming cards by copying Requital Captain Cosmic's power, or cloning Legacy's field to double up on buffs and make Heroic Interception team-wide...
* ChestInsignia: Which can change to suit my mood and shape. Which is good because, as you might have noticed, NoMouth over here.
* CompositeCharacter: A few gents named Deadpool (wearing tights, talking to you fine folks), [[Film/TheMask The Mask]] (changing up my wardrobe with the occasional trip into {{Hammerspace}}, and ComicBook/PlasticMan (yeah, I stretch, and maybe didn't lead the noblest life, although it's not like I was a criminal) may immediately spring to mind, but apparently I'm actually an homage to [[ComicBook/AmbushBug some guy named Ambush Bug]]. He liked TV too, I guess. Never heard of him? Didn't think so. This mask looks better in my colors anyway.
* DittoFighter: In my own unique and incredibly good-smelling way: I've got my own unique abilities (all of them awesome), but my cards like "I Can Do That Too!", "Let Me See That...", "Uh, Yeah, I'm That Guy!" let me (respectively) imitate my teammates powers, steal their equipment, or copy all their ongoings for a round! (And in case you're wondering, copying teamwide buffs like Legacy's "Galvanize" and Ra's "Imbued Fire" allows them to ''stack.'' No need to thank me.)
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Pssh, what's this doing here? Don't listen to [[WordOfGod that Christopher guy]]! Everybody ''loves'' having me around!
* MeaningfulName: "Guise," as in "disguise" or "[[Film/TheMask mask]]". Get it? And my pre-Guise name was [[PunnyName Joe King]]. Bet ''someone'' thought that was really funny...
* NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Some may accuse me of selling out, but can you blame me? I gotta have all the best swag! You should check out my awesome Ninja Pirate Zombie Fanboy IN SPACE getup! It's pretty awesome! Complete with [[https://greaterthangames.com/store/play-power-draw-t-shirt this awesome shirt]] and [[https://greaterthangames.com/store/lifesize-mr-chomps-plushie this AMAZING plushie!]]
* NoMouth: I mean, you can sort of see the shape of it through my mask.
* PowerCopying: My best trick is to borrow cards in play and sometimes the powers of my lackeys I mean fellow heroes for a turn!
* PurpleIsPowerful: Yes, yes it is.
* RoguesGallery: My Nemeses are Wager Master, a blue space gnome with a gambling addiction, Argentium, some silent metal blob man thing, Cueball, who hangs out on the World's Largest Pool Table and has a head shaped like guess what, and the Green Grosser, a green-skinned nut who rigs fruit to explode and declared war on Christmas. Why do I get all the weirdos, anyway?
* ShoutOut: One of my hobbies:
** [[Franchise/ConanTheBarbarian Guise the Barbarian!]]
*** [[Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982 Crush your enemies, drive them before you]], and [[{{Malaproper}} LAMINATE THEIR WOMEN!]]
** Mr. Fixer wants me to stop asking if he wants me to [[Film/TheKarateKid wax on, wax off]]. I still ask him anyway.
** I also like to make the occasional blatant reference to [[Creator/SamuelLJackson Samuel L Coolguy.]] [[Film/PulpFiction SAY WHAT AGAIN!]]
** And then this one time I turned ito [[{{Music/KISS}} Gene Simmons]] and played [[Music/LynyrdSkynyrd Freebird]] on the Argent Adept's Lyra! (Which is actually a lute. I still don't know why he INSISTS on calling it that...)
** Oh, and don't forget that time I was a [[GratuitousJapanese Super Ultra Kawaii]] Magical Love Prince!
* SpotlightStealingSquad: A combination of my cards lets me use my teammates cards as if I was them so I get to save the day instead of them!
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Only the best superpower for the best superhero. Although I don't seem to be able to change my face or the colors of my, ah, tights? I have an UnlimitedWardrobe of props and wigs and costumes I can pull out of {{Hammerspace}} anytime I like.
* WackyGuy: And what, there's something wrong with that? C'mon, you'd miss me if I wasn't around to shake things up.
* XtremeKoolLetterz: You know, for overly-muscular gun-toting X-Treeeeeme!!!! NinetiesAntiHero throwbacks? But of course!
