Fragmented versus Everywhere At Once

Fragmented is the resilient default; Everywhere At Once is a specialized proactive fortress plan.

Fragmented is the default

It provides immediate early pressure, a reliable Deathknell, excellent Reflection copy value, Dusk Rose synergy, Sacrifice and Hook compatibility, and a champion that remains useful even when the battlefield plan is disrupted. The more resilient blind choice.

Everywhere At Once is a specialized proactive plan

It prevents Temporary effects from triggering at its battlefield, letting you accumulate Reflections there rather than losing them each Beginning Phase.

Attractive when: on the play; the opponent has limited displacement or direct removal; Windswept Hillock is relevant; one protected battlefield can become a durable fortress; you can generate multiple Reflections before the anchor is answered.

⚠ WarningSubstantial risks: costs more; less immediate card value than Fragmented; removing or moving it exposes the stored Reflections to future Temporary triggers; the deck becomes dependent on one location; worse when the opponent can efficiently answer the champion.

A recent Hook LeBlanc list from August 16 used Everywhere At Once as its Chosen Champion — the configuration is a legitimate branch rather than a theoretical option. The default remains Fragmented, with Everywhere At Once reserved for matchups where the opponent cannot efficiently punish the fortress structure.^◆src
