Pregame Cards
Only 1 Pregame Card allowed per deck
Cards are both good and evil (maybe neutral?)
Before the game begins, you can present your pregame card and place it in your territory.
Its effect remains active until your first draw phase. When your first draw phase begins, you removethe pregame card from the game and it's ability is negated.
Here could be some example abilities:
Good Pg Card - Reveal your hand. If there are no characters in your hand, you may draw 2 cards.
Good Pg Card - An opponent must play with hand revealed.
Evil Pg Card - Discard the top card of a deck. If it is a character, add it to your territory. If it is a lost soul, put it in holder's territory.
Evil Pg Card - If you haven't made a rescue attempt, you may discard an evil card from hand to protect all lost souls from rescue this turn.
Neutral Pg Card
When a character would be put in your territory, you may put it in your territory face down.

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.

Wow, No.
It was an illustration and an allusion to magic.

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.

This is on the topic of pre-game cards.
