Hm... Perhaps instead they could be an way to change the way the game works before it starts. The cards should be enough of a disadvantage that only specific strategies would benefit; they would never be "staples".

Examples:

"Your draw phase occurs following your discard phase".

"You may not play cards during your site maitinence phase. Take an additional artifact activation phase after your discard phase".

"All of your fortress cards are treated as artifact cards. You may discard an active artifact card to search your drawpile for an artifact or fortress card and activate it. Artifacts effect is suspended until your next turn".

"You may have 4 copies of any character or enhancement in your deck. Draw one card per turn during your draw phase".


Also, there could be cards like this:

Melchisedech's Temple: "May hold one active Genesis or N.T. artifact. Protect all of your priests from the order of Melchisedech from conversion. Upon discard, shuffle your priest from the order of Melchisedech back into discard. If you lose this game by a differential of three or more, place this card into play as a pregame card in the next game you play against the same opponett".

Wow, No.

It was an illustration and an allusion to magic.

Yeah but knowing the people who are on here, I do not want an uprising of WE WANT 4 SOGS!

Well, what if there was a card that changed the rescue amount needed to 20 instead of five and that you could make one rescue per tern per hero/lost soul? That'd make that fair, wouldn't it? (Post-modernism applied to Redemption equals fun).

Wow, Just wow. Lol

See, I just got out of a class talking about Wittgenstein's theory of the "language game". I figured it'd be fun to apply it to other games.

can we keep the discussion to the idea of pregame cards?

This is on the topic of pre-game cards.
