Not sure about deckbuilding ones, but we could steal a page from FF:TA's playbook, and randomly choose some of the gameplay +#/-# every game.

+1 Can't Touch This: Win three battles with immunity
+1 NERD!: Reference Firefly, Dr. Who, Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galatica and XKCD during table talk.  (Yes, this has happened)
+3 Questing: Rescue 2 LS with converted EC's
-1 Too easy: Win 5-0
+1 Solitaire: Lose 5-0
+2 Mimetime: Complete a battle where both players don't say a word
+2 Redemption: The Musical: Complete a battle where both players communicate only through song
+1 Zombie: Return a hero from the discard pile to play twice (Heal doesn't count)
+1 Why?: Win a battle challenge standing on one leg
+1 Taking Sides: Start two side battles
-2 NPE: Win two battles without letting your opponent play a card

(goes into the fetal position)
healing spells shouldn't be holy, healing spells shouldn't be holy, healing spells shouldn't be holy

But then it's useless against zombies

I'm much less excited about this than I was at first. It seems that everyone is wanting to neuter the possibilities of how points are awarded/deducted as much as possible. What's wrong with points for deck content? Or even if that's out (I can at least see where you're coming from), why all the hating on points that deal with specific cards? Shouldn't the nature of the beast be that you alter your deckbuilding to account for the fact that you're playing a different type? People don't use the same deck for Multi and 2-Player and Teams...

I completely agree. I don't wanna use the same deck as I do for t1 on this format.

The nerd one is way OP I would get it like every game

Only when your age is one less than a multiple of 3.

heh, thats exactly what this reminded me of...xbox achievements.

I'm liking the list so far, keep the ideas coming.  I think it still needs something having to do with fortresses.  I was thinking of giving a point for having 5 or more characters placed in fortresses and calling it "Hide and Seek," but considering how many forts allow more than I wasn't sure.  I think there's still a few other categories that haven't been covered in the list (healing and set aside come to mind).  Also some of the names I came up with aren't very interesting, so make some suggestions for those too.

If you have 3 or more occupied forts?

Enter battle with a face-down card -- Flashlight Tag

Mind reader is way too easy. U+T

We should remember these so we can start compiling aggregate scores and unlock achievements for people when the game gets released on XBLA.  

The Modern Warfare cards will never come into play. The Big Four doms are all pre-Apostles.

Someone really needs to fill me in on what all this obsession with buckler is all about.

WHIMPER: Make your opponent cry. Then, feel bad and give her a GOYS.

I hate changing a post and then posting fix'd, and I -1 everyone I see do it.... but I just had to for Wild Bill's sake.

+2 Master, Padawan: Teach your opponent something new.

YES YES YES YES

I don't think that's possible.
