ART: - IDEA: Treldon NOTES: Inspired by the dreaded Uno cards "Draw Two" and "Wild Draw Four" If you target yourself you will draw but will not be able to play more cards that turn. Effect does not stack - target can draw more than 3 cards but will not be blocked from playing cards for more than 1 turn. SERIES: Weekly Challenge CIA

I like the idea to use this card as a mill,
however, I don't like it as an extra silence.
You can prevent the opponent from playing any cards during 12 turns;
It wouldn't be very rare to kill them before they can play any card at all.

How would that change if it could target either player but would always prevent you (caster) from playing cards that turn?

If the player could not be forced to draw cards (Sanctuary), would it nullify the Silence aspect as well?

So if opponent has Sanc and you cast it on them? No, you would still be silenced - part of the cost (might lower quanta cost because of this).

Or did you mean the original version (target is silenced)? In that case yes, they'd be protected from silence as well.

The card still reads as if the target is the one who is silenced. So is it now that the caster is silenced regardless of whether cards are drawn?

[Treldon]

Not yet. Just threw up the idea before your 1st reply and I wasn't sure if you are reacting to that or the card (as is)

By casting this card the last in your turn?

[ratcharmer]

I'm not sure why this is a card. The mechanics read more like to me

[Treldon]

While card drawing is definitely , other elements have it as well. And such restrictions/punishments belong to
(Plus the original version was a different card with ability)

[ratcharmer]

"You can't play cards for 1 turn" sounds like a stasis or paralysis-type effect to me, which would fit better in

Aside from thematics, the deck-mill function of the card seems weak compared to using it to rapid-draw yourself, but I'll have to crunch some numbers . . .

[UndeadSpider1990]

How about...

"Target player draws 3 cards but can't use any of those cards for one turn."

?

I.E. They can still play other stuff in their hand (provided it isn't flooded with Ghosts )

The danger here would be that it'd be OP if used on yourself. You *could* make it opponent only targetting?
