Erestor of the Council

Voting cards live or die on the incentive structure they build around the vote itself, and this one turns the council chamber into a coordination game. The council mechanic normally gives each player a private choice that resolves independently; here the payout is explicitly relational. When an opponent votes with you, they mint a Treasure for themselves, so aligning with the table hands your rivals ramp. Vote against the grain and you scry instead, converting disagreement into card selection scaled to how many opponents broke from your choice. Either way the last clause is unconditional: you draw. That asymmetry is the whole strategic engine. It rewards you for reading the table's incentives, sometimes voting to appease so the fight passes quietly, sometimes voting to provoke so the scry stacks up, and it does the reading through the vote rather than through a stack of triggered abilities. The 2/4 body is deliberately unassuming: this is a governor, not a threat, and the design leans on that by asking you to fill a deck with other will-of-the-council and council's-dilemma effects for Erestor to tax. The subtle knife is that Treasure handed to opponents is a real cost, so the card is honest about the deal it offers: you draw every vote, but consensus enriches the room. As a build-around it inverts the usual council reflex, punishing agreement and paying out disagreement in the same breath, which makes every vote at the table a negotiation you are quietly refereeing.
