[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 6887562, member: 12731"] Again, I don't see any good reason to limit the deck to a [B]single person[/B]. On the other hand, I have trouble getting agitated by the argument "just have a random peasant draw the bad cards, then profit". To me the obvious solution is to "clarify" that: 1) the deck will magically complete itself before each drawing of the deck. That is, it resets itself; it is simply impossible to join in halfway through a drawing 2) more than one person can participate in any single drawing of the deck; they just all state how many cards they want (before the first card is drawn). The total must be equal to or lower than the number of cards in the deck, or no magic will happen. Only truly voluntary calls for cards are heeded (much like you can't fool ressurection magic asking the soul) 3) as soon as the first card is drawn, that starts a "drawing of the deck". Each card that is drawn affects the next person in the current group (regardless of any hijinks they may try) 4) One drawing of the deck must be fully completed before the next may start. Meaning, as a newcomer to the drawing, you can ask the deck for as many cards you like, the effects will still happen to the next person in line, and you will get nothing until that drawing is completed. Then, when you start drawing, you will do so from a complete deck (the deck will be magically reset) 5) per the rules text, each person can only participate in one drawing from any given deck. Ever.
