Anthrest (Group)

Coming from the near future, the Anthrests spread like a plague. Such an ugly world, they think, as their parasites spread, remaking their world in their handsome image.
The Anthrest Group is a tri-coloured group of red, green and yellow which focuses on swarming and taking over the board depending on a new mechanic called Anthrestation, representing a creeping plastic infestation and infection of the anthro body on innocent people.
A player's anthrestation starts at 0, and progresses as they cast Anthrest cards. If you cast a card that matches your anthrestation, it advances to the next stage and you get a bonus effect. While you can cast cards off-anthrestation, it's usually better to plan ahead and wait until anthrestation effects can be used.
Each anthrestation stage has a theme:
Tide 0: The start of the anthrestation. These are generic fighters which usually buff allied Anthrests.
Tide 1: Partially anthrested beings. These spread the anthrestation, summoning or transforming fighters into Anthrested Knights.
Tide 2: Fully anthrested beings, the effects of which are very powerful.
Advancing anthrestation at Tide 2 brings it back to 0, where the cycle can begin anew.
Cycle the Contagion draws cards and lets you advance your tide without casting fighters. Once you've advanced anthrestation 9 times, Princess Erisyphia will trigger, letting you anthrest each fighter in play repeatedly.
Pros:
* Powerful midrange game.
* Tide 1 cards shut off effects, while tide 2 cards have ridiculous effects.
* Strong health gain thanks to Anthrested Knights.
* Capable of shutting off effects via transform.
* Great card draw thanks to Cycle the Contagion.
Cons:
* Weak to control decks that don't care about board presence.
* Generally has weak individual fighter stats if not on tide 2; relies on having 3-4 fighters at all times to remain in tempo.
*Entire group is shut down by effects that prevent OnCast effects from triggering.
*Cards are very demanding of colourless studs.
