I like this change to this card. I've always seen fire as a warrior's element and this to me says "Lets fight, give me your best shot!" which is right up fire's thematic alley. This card will have a multitude of uses in it's current form, from speeding up combo decks, to forcing a discard in pestal decks. While not the most upfont with intentions, I actually think this is one of the more ingenious shard ideas.

I've already stated that I prefer Courage as the name, but I wonder if the ability would be more interesting this way:

"Your opponent draws 2 cards. Draw an equal amount of cards, one additional if your mark is :fire ."

Just a thought.
"Of course you should fight fire with fire. You should fight everything with fire."

no. you can only draw as much as your opponent and if you have mark of  :fire, that number of cards potentially rises to 3 instead of 2. With the version Napalm suggested, if you have mark of  :fire at least you gat one extra card than your opponent, effectivily giving you card advantage

Current effect: Spend one card. Your opponent draw 2(+1 if  :fire mark) and you draw exactly the same. Best possibility: You get x cards and your opponent gets x+1.

Napalm effect: Spend one card. Your opponent draw 2 cards and you draw exactly the same +1. Best possibility: Both get x cards.


I´m counting the SoB like -1 card. You get 3 new cards but spend one, but your rival get 3 cards with no cost. And that is with the  :fire mark.

It´s more about play fast than card advantage. I think.

Now that you mention it, this sounds fair to give equal card advantage.
Remember that a card slot is also a cost.

True. Usually i dont account for the card itself wich is wrong, but the fact that you get the cards in your turn can make all the difference indeed

Are you talking about fill the opponent hand?

I never though it. Really. It´s the best setting to play this card, I guess.

Or at least not a disadvantage. He have to pay quanta + card slot to get 2 (3) cards. Net gain = 1 (2) card. Opponent net gain = 2 (3) cards.
Napalm's version, net gain = 2 (3) = opponent net gain.

^^ Agreed 100%.  I like the Napalm version quite a bit.
If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

"Your opponent draws 2 cards. Draw an equal amount of cards, one additional if your mark is :fire ."
It's nice idea, but it hurts the versatility of the card. Current SoB can be used also as Deckouter in stalls.
