Intercept

Intercept is an evergreen keyword shared between the Topaz, Garnet, Sardonyx and Amethyst Shards.

Details
When another player's creature declares an attack, you can activate a creature's Intercept ability. The attacking creature is then forced to battle the creature with Intercept

Each Shard features key differences with their creatures that have an intercept ability. These include;
 * Topaz — They have the second highest amount of intercepters, and their creatures can usually attack Players as well as creatures, although they exhibit lower powers.
 * Garnet — Their creatures often can't attack at all and those who are able to attack feature low power.
 * Sardonyx — They have the most intercepters, and most have Speedster or a Snap ability as well. They cannot attack Players at all.
 * Amethyst — While creatures that have intercept are less numerous, they often have the Venom ability as well. Some also have higher than usual power, but are destroyed when they win a battle. A few are able to still attack, but feature low power.
