Sett Legend ability
When a boosted unit of yours is going to die, you can pay 1 Power and exhaust it to spend its boost and return it exhausted to the base. When you conquer, Sett prepares itself.
Letter text: When a buffed unit you control would die, you may pay [Power] and exhaust me to spend its buff and recall it exhausted instead. When you conquer, ready me.Your legend is in play from the first turn and cannot be removed, so this ability is the foundation on which the entire deck is built.
How to play Sett

Big units and more resources: win on size on the board.
