NAME: Card of Randomness ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 6 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Fill your hand with random cards.	NAME: Card of Randomness ELEMENT: Entropy COST: 8 TYPE: Spell ATK|HP: TEXT: Fill your hand with random cards and heal 5 hp for each card added, chance (50%) of dealing damage instead

ART: IDEA: Xray1324 NOTES: Card of Randomness is like SoSe but not a rare, i guess, thats what the inspiration came from The second card, per 5 hp you would gain, there is a 50% chance per gain that you would take damage instead on that gain. SERIES:

Name is.... A bit to be desired. Why should I use this over SoSe?

[Zyardran]

Wow these are a tad expensive. Switch it to 5 | 5. 

Also, for upped. Maybe make it heal 2 for each card added. 

Awesome idea though i love it.

We don't need SoSe on steroids...

[Basman-1453]

Since upped Card of Randomness can actually kill yourself when you desperately need the cards, give us several very strong reasons on why one would want to use upped CoR over unupped CoR.

(And no, I won't take "Upped CoR offers upped cards while unupped CoR offers unupped cards" or "chance to heal" as a sufficiently strong reason.)

I think the cost is just fine for unupgraded. It has the potential to give you more than twice as many cards as SoSe, so costing 2x SoSe is reasonable.
The upgraded is a little on the pricey side though. I think it could be dropped to 7 or even stay at 6.
The 5HP per card boost translates into a maximum of 40 HP healed, but that is only in the event that your hand is empty.
Typically I think its reasonable to balance against a gain of roughly 4 to 5 cards (which is how I see fractal's card gain estimated).

This would be okay (maybe a bit UP still) except that you have just as much of a chance of nuking yourself instead... in fact, at 50% chance the effect will have an expected value of 0 HP gain / loss, so it is safe to say that the effect has a card cost value of 0.

In summary. keep the unupped cost where it is or maybe drop it to 5 and make the upped cost match.

I do agree with the other members that this effect is still a little too similar to SoSe.

Call it
Randomness | Great Chaos
Ability: What will happen next?
Notes: Almost anything that can happen within a game is possible. From generating a creature, permanent, or casting a spell. The effect will go off once for the opponent, then once for the player.

Other details for this can come from community.

Serprex once tried this once in oetg under the form of hand spasm.
It's a card that wasn't necessarily bad, but was really, really boring. Or at least, it and sose made one or the other redundant.

Wait, if 50% of the upped cards are gonna hurt you, then the average net life gain is exactly 0. That's not a buff! It's as likely to hurt you as it is to heal you, yet the card costs 2 more than the unupped version. Hummm... How about 50% to heal you, 50% chance to hurt the enemy?
