NOTES:
This card looks for single cards left in your deck when cast. If you have one it add that to your hand. If you have multiple single card in your deck this give you an equal chance of getting any of them. If not you just draw a card. (what do you think of if when you had no single cards it looked at all none pillar/tower cards left in your deck and gave you one of them at random?)

This cards main use would be to enable combos. and Speed up finding power cards. It could also be used very strategically towards the end of the game when your deck is thinned. It would have the secondary use of letting new players have more access to their favorite card.

Also the wording on the card could be more thematic "Draw your destine card" which might add some mysterious fun for new players.

its would be pretty strong for combo decks. for example voodoo combo would be much stronger with this. one voodoo doll and one gravity pull plus 6 destiny would only take up 8 slots but give you a very high probability getting your combo pieces. But it would be more fragile in the sense that you only have one card to use if you lost you would be done.

I'm having a little trouble understanding this. Is it that if you play a card from your hand, and you only have 1 left in your deck, Destiny will automatically draw it? As a Spell? I doubt it.
Perception is the source of misunderstanding.

Why, yes. I do have a Mindgate necklace. It's how I ninja everyone.

Looks fun (: reminds me of my Magnet Tracer card.

Anyways good potential.  People might complain because a "deck search" feature has yet been introduced into the game, but that doesn't mean it can't.

@Nepycros you just play Destiny, and then your deck is searched through to find a card that you only have one of in the deck.  Then it draws that card.  If you have multiple, single cards in your deck, it will randomly draw one of them.

So if you have in your deck currently in the middle of a game;
4x water towers
4x water pendulums
3x arctic squids
1x abyss crawler
and you play Destiny from your hand, the abyss crawler will essentially replace it in your hand.

4 :time|3 :time sounds right for the searching card advantage.
This is a good suggestion.

I like many cards but this is one I approve of. Sanctuary is a sign of many negative hand and quanta cards to come. Searching will be a soft counter to hand disruption effects as well as promote combo decks.

PS: The upgraded card image is missing.

Well, I think if you have no single cards in your deck it should do nothing (haha screw you!), since it "searches", thus it can find a card, or not... Also, if there is no "destiny" card, there is no point in using it anyways :D

BTW, this is sort of a "0 card" card, like precognition (only that it's 0 card sometimes). But I like how it helps combos, since they're the funniest part of the game...

If you dont have a single card left, i think it should at very least draw a card. Your destiny is just out of your hands.

It might be underpowered if it does nothing when you have no single cards left. For one it would force the player to have a super memory to know if he has single cards in his deck. And for example your playing a 2 card combo deck. you have 1 of each combo piece and 6 destiny. if you got your two combo cards in your opening hand you'd have 6 dead cards in your deck slowing you down (guess you could argue thats your destiny).

True, I could :P

Anyways, you're right. If there are no single cards, it should randomly pick any other card, but this should be seen in the Card Text. It would be weird to make it draw single cards, but if you don't have any single cards, it's more common to draw a card with lots of copies (I hope you get it :D)
BTW, what if you use destiny and draw your last Destiny? :P it'd be facepalm worthy

Yeah that would be awesome.

I was already imagining all the times a player thinks they know what card they'll get but then ends up getting something else because they already drew all the other copies.

As for the wording I thought it would be fun to leave it vague kinda of like adrenaline. Have the info out there in the wiki but for new players the card would be a mystery.
