Movement mechanic

[d31m]

I know this forum is rarely trafficked these days, but had the idea and want it out of my head; some kind of movement mechanic that changes the order of Allies on the board.

A couple of examples:


Field Commander
Neutral Ally
3 CC, 3/5
When Field Commander enters play, move target ally one position left or right (or next to Hero, to save on time/coding).


Marching Orders
Neutral Support Ability
2 CC, Duration 3
Effect: 0 CC - Move target friendly ally one position left or right. That Ally gains +1 attack. When this card leaves play, draw a card.


Alternately/additionally, each faction might have an Ally with a narrower effect, plus bonus (e.g. Humans: move friendly Ally which gains ambush/stealth; Shadow: move opposing Ally, which gets -1 attack/loses stealth/protector etc.).

It doesn't have broad applicaitons currently (only applying to a handful of cards like Nitish, Stalwart Battleguard and Leash of Life recipients), but has potential for growth where positioning matters, and for opening up new avenues of gameplay.
