# Auspicious Termites

Auspicious Termites
Feng Shui Site
Power: 1
Body: 5
Cannot be burned. If smoked, Auspicious Termites returns to its owner's hand.

## General Notes

What can you say about this card? It is small, it can't be burned for victory, and it tends to either end up in the other guys site structure or back into your hand. It's generally two attacks away from being someplace other than generating power for you. In two-player games, it doesn't help you at all.

## Use

If you don't have enough of the other, better sites then Termites can be handy to have. If you're good at the psychological game, the Termites can be used to make you less of a target than other people with better sites. Still, I don't recommend building a deck with Termites as the core.

## Pros

Well, it can't be burned -- this can buy you a turn sometimes. If it is seized, it can help expand the opponent's site structure, and be taken right back. If it is smoked, you can play it out again from your hand.

## Cons

It's easy to seize/smoke. If smoked, it fills up your hand and if you go to play it again it will probably cost you more than the first time you put it down. If seized, you either concentrate your effort on getting it back, or you've just helped your opponent.

## Combos

- + Ring of Gates? = No idea how this would work, but it suggests that you could keep it in play or force the opponent to seize it (Jose?)
