IDEA:
MildlyFrightenedBoy
NOTES:
For the upgraded card, they are not able to choose the same thing twice.
At the beginning of your opponent's turn, they must pick one (two for the upgraded card) of five things to interpret the Rorschach test as: a monster, a face, ants, fog, or an explosion.  When they pick one, on your next turn, you will automatically play the corresponding card (which is always unupgraded).
Fog:
Face:
Monster:
Ants:
Explosion:
Here is a painstakingly fabricated example of how the card would work from the perspective of the opponent:
This thing seemed dead inside. It seemed like an automaton, trying to act like as if it was alive. The effect was unsettling.
Orianna made a sound that supposed to a girl's squeal of glee and hugged The Ball. While it might have been touching, it was unfortunately only horrifying.

Complicated much?

But seriously, this looks epic. Even if it gets trashed, the sheer amount of work that you put into this is massive, and for that, I commend you.

well it would require both players acting on one turn, which so far zanz has been against, but it is a neat card.

The idea is awesome, but after a few days, almost anyone will now the effects, and choose the less painful choice... You should randomize the effects IMO...
It could eat sparks.
Impossible, Sparks die immediatly after they attack, unless you buff them of course...

Interesting idea, but people would memorize the outcomes and seems they would mostly pick fog as it doesnt have very severe consequences. Face is average, monster is weak to amazing depending on your deck, explosion and ants are powerful. I think a random affect may be a better choice.

or, though it would require even more work, have 2-3 effects per choice, one of which is chosen at random.

The face looks a llittle badass with fractal. Just thought I shoud point that ou cause it'd be a little too powerful if you ran an aether/entropy duo.
so dont pick face if they are playing an entropy/aether duo

This is in the notes:

"At the beginning of your opponent's turn, they must pick one (two for the upgraded card) of five things to interpret the Rorschach test as: a monster, a face, ants, fog, or an explosion.  When they pick one, on your next turn, you will automatically play the corresponding card (which is always unupgraded)."
It is spread over two turns.

Monster:

Why does it have devour it has only 1 hp

Screwed this one up big time.  It was supposed to be 2 | 2.

The idea is awesome, but after a few days, almost anyone will now the effects, and choose the less painful choice... You should randomize the effects IMO...
It could eat sparks.
Impossible, Sparks die immediatly after they attack, unless you buff them of course...
The point is that the opponent has their choice and will pick the one(s) that (they think) will affect them the least.  It isn't supposed to be some sort of witchcraft trickery.

It is possible to eat a spark (play it on the turn after you play RT, and then eat it before you click "Done"), but it is not what I intended.


NOTE: I have increased the Monster's stats to 2 | 2 (from 1 | 1) after not noticing the ridiculous error that I had made by making a 1 | 1 creature with Devour and also added the clause to Face to prevent Fractal or Reverse Time + Mindgate (because it is free, and if it had a quanta cost, it would be susceptible to Nightmare, which I don't want).  I was completely burnt out after finishing this, especially because I had just spent eternity and a half working on an idea that fell through.
This thing seemed dead inside. It seemed like an automaton, trying to act like as if it was alive. The effect was unsettling.
Orianna made a sound that supposed to a girl's squeal of glee and hugged The Ball. While it might have been touching, it was unfortunately only horrifying.

Bump.  This card hasn't gotten much action since it came to the Crucible, and, since the card text doesn't explain the entire effect, I wanted to make sure that people knew what it does.
