ART: OdinVanguard IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: "Take your time today" "It will be well worth the extra effort." The idea is to have a card that provides a more focused form of draw advantage than hourglass. Specifically, this card is good for providing extra creatures, but not very good for getting non-creature cards. The time generation triggers for each non-creature card that gets shuffled to your deck. The re-ready effect will not stack, however, as long as you continue to draw non-creature cards in successive reuses, it will continue to re-ready. The upped version does indeed have unlimited generation ability. To get to that point, however, would mean that you have no creatures left in your deck to play... you would also probably be very low on cards as well. SERIES:

: Draw 2 cards if either is non-creature, shuffle it to your deck, reready this ability, and gain 2 quanta.

it would be better if you place a full stop or comma after draw 2 cards.

cause people might misread it into a confusing sentence
of draw 2 cards only if either is non-creature.

: Draw 2 cards. if either is non-creature, shuffle it to your deck, reready this ability, and gain 2 quanta.

How is the upped version, unlimited time generation? You would lose one time quanta each time...

If your deck has no creatures in it, then every time you use this, it would trigger for both cards that get drawn. That would lead to 4 getting produced. 2 for the first card and 2 for the second card. The cards would get shuffled to your deck and the ability would reactivate. You would net 1 each time you did this.

I don't like the rereading clause. RNG must have a say imo, otherwise this gets too good.

RNG does have a say... The re-ready clause was meant to be conditional to help make this card a little more focused on creature drawing . I can find another way, but conditional re-ready is something I would like to make work somehow.

Can you give any more detail on why it is bad here?
