ART: iprole SOURCE IDEA: Hyroen NOTES: "Discard" refers to the forced removing of a card from your hand once you hold 8 cards. You -can- still deck out with Recycle in play however. Can affect the discards of the opponent. Designed to work effectively with Nightmare, Devourers or really, any effective denial. Promotes stall-type decks, not many cards do this as the game tends to support rushes. GOING GREEN: Promotes the concept of a cleaner world and reminds us gamers to think of ways we can do our part to help. SERIES:

this is a cool idea, esp. if a card that forces your opponent to discard was made

[cokeandaspirin]

i founf it good and balanced, so not to much to say about it

Really good idea, +karma

This card was posted a long time ago but since then has been re-done. Feel free to post whatever thoughts you may have on this new version.

Fun! I would like to see more discard interaction mechanics use, so this definitely has my support.

[Rutarete]

I like it, I really do! However, currently there are only two main uses I see for this - using Ghostmare as a means of anti-deckout, and for use in early game when you have to discard due to not getting enough quanta from a low-pillar start. The first use is kind if meh, imo. For the second use, if you're having such a bad hand, by the time you draw more pillars or other quanta generators, you won't need this - therefore, I suggest the cost be lowered significantly (to 1 or 2 quanta), that way it can be run off the mark in the case of a bad starting hand, and save you the discards.

*re-reads card* oh, it says any discarded card goes to you. Hm, this gives it more stalling use. I see a time life duo being particularly effective with eternity stall, or just with other PC. But still, since only one card can be discarded per turn by both you and the opponent, I still think it's underpowered.

Tl;dr it's UP; lower cost

This has great interaction with the Ghostmare we all have loved. _{to hate.}

Just like what Rutarete said, the cost needs to come down. For something situational and not worrisome mid-game, it has a high cost.

Moderately useful in fractal decks as well, particularly for fractaling creatures. That way you won't run the risk of completely wasting one copy.

Its too bad SoBr is now a card... could have made an amusing combo with this + SoBr + Silence

[UnderneathTheLens]

Well, the main weakness with this card is the fact that discards requires you to have 8 cards AND to skip your turn as well. So you'll be basically skipping a whole turn of possible plays for this card.

How do you guys think the balance would be if any destroyed card would also refund its cost to its owner while Recycle was in play?

Then it becomes like Life Cycles.  See Forge: Permanents.
