We all know that when you amass 8 cards in your hand and then end your turn, you must discard one to continue.

If you click fast enough you can discard more than one card.  I discovered this by mistake.  Ironically, I spilled some juice on my mouse and now it has a habit of rapidly double clicking every now and then, despite me only clicking once.

After playing for 10 mins this became very annoying.  I keep losing cards I want to keep!

I am curious if you could discard your entire hand if you programmed something to click fast enough.

Also, you could use this to your advantage.  If somebody nightmares you, or...If you have shard of sacrifice active and a hand full of ghost of the pasts.

Confirmed in the Trainer.

(sorry for the cut^)


The clicks have to be very fast under normal conditions. But, with a glitched mouse or if the game is running slow, it is easy to do accidentally.

Btw, your problem with the mouse is not a weird thing, I have had the same problem with all of my mouses before I trashed them ;P

Rapid Click Problems
Symptoms:  Playing cards for free, playing an infinite number of cards, discarding more than one card, and various other illegal game moves.
Just rapid clicking problems, nothing special. Known for quite some time, just clicking slower being a simple fix.

That's the thing, its his mouse, not him. Though I guess my only suggestion would be to get a new mouse =p

Let's say I have a Fractal and my hand is full. I can exploit this bug to empty my hand, by slowing down the flash player and clicking every card except the Fractal.
In the pics above, you can see I have discarded 2 cards that are far from each other. It is easy to do if you can make the flash player run slow.

This is a very common problem in lots of flash games. I don't know if there's a simple solution to this, maybe adding a pause after each card play, though it would slow down the game a bit.

You can't quite control the discards this way. You might discard the top cards, so it is hard to exploit.
