And where exactly would this extra hand space go?
Again, I don't see any extra space on the field where the card space might go.

Well, there are ways to do that, but it is true that this is a big problem. Cards that require layout changes are naturally less likely to happen. I think Zanz should probably make it happen though, since increasing max hand size opens up many interesting possibilities. Then again mechanics like that could cause balancing problems with the #1 card idea breaker: Fractal.

I would assume the hand would increase or decrease in font size so 12 small cards would take the same space as 4 large cards or 8 regular cards. That is how I would do it at least. Zanz might/would have a better solution.

Hmm ... very well. I've come to the conclusion that the card has a problem with the lack of a theme, and the largely different mechanics between card versions.

I think Hand Increase could be renamed 'Focus' and turned into a Light or Aether card. Hand Decrease should be renamed to 'Dementia' and turned into a Death or Darkness card.

I think Hand Increase has more problems than Hand Decrease, so I'll remake Hand Decrease first.

Thoughts on this? And how about the name and element for Hand Decrease?

Hmm.. I think "Focus" is fine.

I'm pretty sure that "Dementia" is a medical term produced by modern science, so it doesn't fit really well in a fantasy setting. Then again we do have Schrödinger’s Cat.. I think something like "Mental Decay" would sound better.

But I think something that is right opposite to focus would fit even better, like "Disorientate" or something.
