    Great ideas - loving the name and the powers. Tough to theory-scape with these guys due to my inexperience with the Monarch and faction of trees.

    Not a fan of 4 powers generally but seemed worthwhile here. Do you think this will fit on a card?

    I think all four powers will fit on a card. None of the powers are super long.

    I think I missed something about "Monarchs" : )

    Is that a C3V thing?

    New faction of sorts, liked the minis and thought to add to.  Might have a treant be a monarch as well to give the squad some options. could go unique wildwood instead.

    TREE REGENERATION
    Instead of attacking with the Guardians of the Awakened Forest you may use Tree Regeneration.  Choose up to 2 Guardians of the Awakened Forest adjacent to a tree or Monarch and roll the 20-sided die one at a time.  If you roll a 15 or higher, place a previously destroyed Guardian of the Awakened Forest Adjacent to the chosen Guardian of the Awakened Forest.

    I do think Monarch only could be strange if another Monarch is made that isn't a Wildwood, so should say "adjacent to a tree or Wildwood Monarch you control".  Changed in OP

    Anfang is listed as a Monarch in the synergies, but I thought he was switched to an Elder. I think it might be good to keep the option to Regenerate with Anfang as well. What do you think?

    First effort on the card. The text is so tight and small - one of the powers needs to go in my opinion.

    I could see dropping Fire Weakness.  Or perhaps Tree Walk, or Tree Regeneration (needs new name)-  maybe New Growth or something. Also making species Wildwood.

    Drop the attack to 3.  Drop Fire Weakness.  Change Forest Growth to

    FOREST GROWTH
    After revealing an order marker on and taking a turn with the Guardians of the Awakened Forest roll the 20-sided die for each activated Guardian of the Awakened Forest adjacent to a tree or unique Wildwood figure you control.  If you roll a 15 or higher, place a previously destroyed Guardian of the Awakened Forest adjacent to that tree or unique Wildwood figure.

    might need some wording help.  OP changed. Once wording finalized I think these guys are good to go.

    Tweaked a couple of things. Let me know what you think. I am rusty at this. I will send PDF when approved.

    PROTECTORS OF THE FOREST
    After revealing an Order Marker on a Unique Wildwood Card you control, instead of taking a turn with that Unique Wildwood, you may take a turn with the Guardians of the Awakened Forest. If a Guardian of the Awakened Forest ends its movement adjacent to that Unique Wildwood, roll 1 additional attack die.

    FOREST GROWTH
    After revealing an Order Marker on and taking a turn with the Guardians of the Awakened Forest roll the 20-sided die for each activated Guardian of the Awakened Forest adjacent to a tree or unique Wildwood figure you control. If you roll a 15 or higher, place a previously destroyed Guardian of the Awakened Forest adjacent to that tree or unique Wildwood figure.
