Similarly to Mars, its strength improved in Age of Ascension with cards like [[Proclamation 346E]], [[The Grey Rider]] and [[Barrister Joya]].

{{House Card | |||
|House=Saurian | |||
|Image=452-215.png | |||
|Text=With a unique mix of Greco-Roman culture and dinosaurs, Saurian was one of the new houses in the game's third set, Worlds Collide. Exploring the theme of hubris through the [[exalt]] keyword that was introduced exclusively with Saurians, big creatures with high risk / high reward effects define this house: [[Senator Shrix]], [[Cincinnatus Rex]], [[Saurus Rex]], [[Gargantodon]] and many others. | |||
Secondary themes include steal-hate, capturing and [[Ward|warding]]. Saurian immediately proved to be both a fan favorite and a competitively successful house. | |||

{{House Card | |||
|House=Shadows | |||
|Image=341-303.png | |||
|Text=Shadows is the sneaky house. It contains small, [[elusive]] creatures and powerful effects that deal direct damage and, more than any other house, steal Æmber. This is emphasized with cards like [[Ronnie Wristclocks]], [[Miasma]], [[Relentless Whispers]] and [[Too Much to Protect]]. | |||
[[Bait and Switch]] was largely considered to be the best card in the game, until it was [[:Category:Errata|errata]]'d and its power considerably lowered. | |||
As stealing is arguably the most impactful mechanic in the game, Shadows has proven to be by far the most competitively successful house across the game's first two sets. | |||

{{House Card | |||
|House=Star Alliance | |||
|Image=452-301.png | |||
|Text=Introduced in Worlds Collide alongside Saurian and inspired by classic sci-fi tropes, Star Alliance is thematically the opposite of house Mars. As the primary mechanics are allowing playing and using cards outside of the [[active house]], Star Alliance brings cohesion and efficiency to decks. This is exemplified in cards like [[Captain Val Jericho]], [[Com. Officer Kirby]], [[United Action]] and [[Commander Chan]]. | |||
Star Alliance also has more [[:Category:Upgrade|upgrades]] than any other house, including a unique Blaster for each common creature in Worlds Collide, as well as Robot creatures that can also be played as upgrades. Just like Saurian, Star Alliance is considered one of the best houses in Worlds Collide. | |||
}} | |||
{{House Card | |||
|House=Untamed | |||
|Image=452-389.png | |||
|Text=Untamed is the house inspired by nature and wilderness, featuring animals, plants, humans and other lifeforms. Untamed's primary themes are Æmber burst and recursion. [[Dust Pixie]], [[Hunting Witch]], [[Witch of the Eye]] and [[Key Charge]] are some of the cards that made Untamed the house with the best Æmber generation in Call of the Archons. | |||
[[Mimicry]], [[Nepenthe Seed]], [[Duskwitch]] and [[Heart of the Forest]] are some of the other iconic Untamed cards. | |||
