it's a useless card, it's precognition but for the entire game, it shouldn't be that expensive

like no drain, and 3 unupped 2 upped, and it seems like it would fight more with  :time because it already has precog

i was thinking darkness because time already has precog and it fits thematically. Mind reading is kind of a shadowy ability i think.

Anyhow on the cost, I agree now that you mention it because the usefulness of the card would be early on not later when it doesn't matter....

Gonna make the changes.

no  i know its for this competition it has to be my name.... Some people have really appropriate names, me not so much. So I used a picture of me (brain) so that technically it is "wizelsnarf" then I made the ability based on the pic.

I had another idea but the art was going to be too hard for me to put together quickly...

I was against cards that destroy cards in your hand, too, but that looks like it's going to be implemented, so I suppose it doesn't matter that I'm against cards that make your enemy reveal his hand permanently. It's fine if it reveals both your hands to each other, 'cuz then it's more powerful than precog and yet less so in its own right (no drawing power, plus reveals yours). Seeing your opponent's hand forever is just too powerful, especially for that low price (but I wouldn't want it available for any price). It lets you see any combos being set up ahead of time. Precog only shows your opponent's hand once and his draw, so you often don't get forewarning that he's setting up a combo, etc., unless you happen to precog at the right time.

like dune scorpion, I can't predict just how powerful this would be until I saw it in-game, but in both cases I'm dearly worried.

Okay messed up the spelling there and missed it.

Gonna fix that in the card.

So what should the price be then? More quanta? Permanently shows both hands?

Any thoughts I have 21 hours to change it.

Questions / Comments / Suggestions
Have you taken damage to the back of your head? The tissue inflamation above your C1 is the only thing I can see on that MRI.

Thanks for the feedback I hadn't seen it earlier.

As for my head I was not hit or anything. It was for an experiment at my University, it was an fMRI watching brain function on a game set up to simulate speaking two languages...

Perhaps my neck was swollen because I had to lay in the machine for hours...
