Unlocking the Power of Censer of Restful Peace and Nullifying Mirror in Grand Archive
Abyssal Heaven dropped on March 7, 2025, introducing a slew of intriguing cards to Grand Archive TCG. Among them, Censer of Restful Peace (HVN-012) and Nullifying Mirror (HVN-015) stand out as subtle yet potent Regalia Items for Cleric decks. These cards might not scream aggression, but their ability to disrupt opponents can shift the meta in your favor. Let’s dive into their mechanics, explore how to maximize their potential, and craft deck-building strategies to make them shine.
Censer of Restful Peace
Card Details:
Set: HVN
No.: 012
Type: Regalia, Item (Cleric, Accessory)
Cost: 0 Memory, No Reserve
Rarity: Rare
Element: Norm
Effect: "Cards in graveyards lose all abilities."

Analysis:
Censer of Restful Peace is a quiet powerhouse. By stripping graveyard cards of their abilities, it neuters strategies relying on Floating Memory or on-death triggers. Think about decks using Maiden of Shimmering Air (HVN-056) to pay memory costs from the graveyard or Zhang Jiao, Way of Peace (HVN-072) triggering effects based on memory count—Censer shuts them down cold. At 0 Memory Cost, it’s a free drop from your Material Deck, making it an effortless addition to any Cleric lineup.
Maximizing Effectiveness:
Timing: Materialize it early to preempt graveyard recursion. It’s a passive effect, so once it’s on the field, it’s always working.
Pairing: Combine with cards that force opponents to fill their graveyard, like Floodbloom (HVN-206) (banishes top two deck cards each turn) or Aphotic Ruin (HVN-032) (wither counters pressure sacrifices). This amplifies Censer’s disruption by bloating their graveyard with useless cards.
Protection: Since it’s a Regalia with 0 Life, it’s vulnerable to Break Apart (HVN-035) or similar removal. Keep a Coronation Ceremony (HVN-041) handy to grant Spellshroud and shield it.
Nullifying Mirror
Card Details:
Set: HVN
No.: 015
Type: Regalia, Item (Cleric, Accessory)
Cost: 0 Memory, No Reserve
Rarity: Rare
Element: Norm
Effect: "REST: Until end of turn, cards in target opponent’s memory are norm element. (They are not any other element.)"
Link: https://tcg-corner.com/products/hvn-015?variant=50635709972755
Analysis:
Nullifying Mirror is a scalpel for Cleric control decks. By resting it (slow speed), you turn an opponent’s memory cards into Norm element until turn’s end, stripping their elemental identity. This wrecks decks relying on advanced elements (e.g., Arcane, Luxem) or specific elemental synergies, like Sunblessed Gazelle (HVN-200) needing Luxem or Arcane Blast (HVN-184) requiring Arcane. It’s another 0 Memory Cost gem, perfect for early deployment.
Maximizing Effectiveness:
Timing: Use it reactively during an opponent’s turn (after they commit to a big play) to disrupt level-ups or advanced element activations.
Synergy: Pair with Surreptitious Scheme (HVN-068) to remove a level counter after neutralizing their memory, delaying their champion’s progression.
Protection: Like Censer, it’s fragile. Shimmering Refraction (HVN-063) can punish removal attempts, dealing damage based on your phantasias while drawing you a card.
Deck-Building Strategies: Crafting the Perfect Cleric Control
To maximize Censer of Restful Peace and Nullifying Mirror, your deck needs to amplify their disruption while staying resilient. Here’s how to build around them:
Core Champion: Diao Chan, Enchantress (HVN-004)
Why: Her glimmer counters fuel Reaction Spells like Shimmering Refraction, synergizing with Censer’s graveyard lock and Mirror’s memory tweak. Her Level 3 form, Diao Chan, Idyll Corsage (HVN-006), adds wither counters for even more control.
Material Deck: Include both Censer and Mirror (max 1 each), plus Tabula of Salvage (HVN-018) to recycle key cards.
Key Allies and Phantasias:
Maiden of Shimmering Air (HVN-056): 2 Reserve, Floating Memory fuels Shimmering Refraction while Censer blocks opponents from doing the same.
Zhang Jiao, Way of Peace (HVN-072): 3 Reserve, adapts to memory size, unhindered by Censer since its effect triggers on-enter.
Control Suite:
Aphotic Ruin (HVN-032): 6 Reserve (less with Efficiency), piles wither counters to force sacrifices, amplifying Censer’s graveyard clog.
Shimmering Refraction (HVN-063): 2 Reserve, scales with phantasias, punishes removal attempts on your Regalia.
Main Deck Composition:
Minimum 60 Cards:
3x Maiden of Shimmering Air
2x Zhang Jiao, Way of Peace
3x Shimmering Refraction
2x Aphotic Ruin
3x Coronation Ceremony (protection)
Fill with Norm-element staples like Auspicious Feast (HVN-033) (healing) and Kingdom’s Divide (HVN-055) (cost increase).
Strategy: Stall with Censer and Mirror, build phantasia count, and grind out value with Diao Chan’s reactions.
Matchups:
Vs. Tamer (Guo Jia): Censer cripples Fatestone recursion (Idle Fatestone (HVN-052)), while Mirror delays Shenju synergies.
Vs. Warrior: Mirror neuters advanced element plays (Lu Bu, Indomitable Titan (HVN 1st-208)), buying time for wither counters to work.
Vs. Mage: Censer shuts down Natural Order (HVN-211) graveyard tricks; Mirror disrupts Kongming (HVN-010)’s Shifting Currents.
Final Thoughts
Censer of Restful Peace and Nullifying Mirror aren’t flashy, but they’re meta-defining in the right hands. They turn Cleric into a control juggernaut, choking graveyard and memory strategies with minimal investment. Build around Diao Chan, stack phantasias, and watch opponents squirm as their plans unravel. Ready to wield these silent disruptors?
