Amazon team coaches can use Star Players with the Lustrian Superleague Team Special Rule keyword excluding Boa Kon’ssstriktr, Estelle la Veneaux and Glotl Stop.
***Star Player Skills Tax***
Certain star players are so famous, glamorous or infamous that their teammates pay all their attention to them, forgetting to properly train and improve their own skills. So in case you want to hire one of them for your team, you will have to “pay” some of the skills you got on your skillset to picture this situation. If you hire one of the following star players, you’ll have to reduce the mentioned skills from your skill sets.
STAR PLAYER SKILL COST
Morg’N’Thorg - 3 Primary Skills
Griff Oberwald - 3 Primary Skills
Deeproot Strongbranch - 2 Primary Skills
Hakflem Skuttlespike - 2 Primary Skills
Kreek Rustgouger - 2 Primary Skills

For a team to be eligible for the Best Painted Award, they must have been painted by the coach at the event, and to have been used on the day. The award will be assessed by an independent judge appointed by the tournament organiser.
