Beacon

Beacon is the 14th card that was added to the game. It was added on the 14th of November 2021. It has the same stats as Enchanting Table in epic card game 1.
It costs 9 gold, has no attack, and 4 health. While a Beacon is Alive, it gives all other cards on the owner's side +1 attack. This stacks with other attack increases, including other Beacons, and can even receive extra attack from those other Beacons.
The basic deck has 1 Beacon.
= Strategy =
Beacon is a very powerful card, considering its synergies with many types of cards. In particular, it is most effective with cheaper cards, as +1 attack makes them much more valuable than they would normally be.
= Synergies =
====== Rush cards ======
Rush cards work almost too well with Beacon, as it can lead to huge amounts of instant damage to the opponent's side. In particular, it works most effectively with Fox or Vex, as both of them gain incredible instant damage at 4 for 6 gold.
====== Taunt cards ======
Most Taunt cards do not have attack, so giving them the ability to attack can give them an opportunity to retaliate against cards that attack them.
====== Dark Oak Planks ======
Since Beacon can give Dark Oak Planks attack, it can circumvent the drawback of placing Dark Oak Planks, leading to free gold and damage.
= Counters =
====== Dark Oak Log/Yellow Terracotta ======
Beacon's ability works on handicap-type cards as well, which heavily counters the abilities of these cards.
= Weaknesses =
====== Heavy Weighted Pressure Plate ======
Since this card can power as many cards as it takes damage, Beacon's attack buff may end up with the opponent's cards being powered more times than necessary.
