[QUOTE="MadLordOfMilk, post: 5037688, member: 77691"] Glad to see someone throw something like this together, it's something I've wanted to do for a while but have been putting off longer and longer ;) For what you were aiming for, it seems to work well enough, but there are too many variables for me to really judge it without using it in play. It does seem like it'd be easy to pick up a card that doesn't do squat for you, though, which can stink. (Personal opinion) As an overall comment, the cards are a bit... unimpressive. The concepts are fine, but there's not a lot of risk (and thus not a huge reward). My favorite part of the deck was the incredible amount of risk to it - you could get something amazing, but you could also get something horrible, and once you decided how many cards to pull, you couldn't go back! There was a lot of suspense with it :) With yours, I see it being there as a "cool thing" but without the same memorable tenseness that comes before pulling out a card. [/QUOTE]
