IDEA: OdinVanguard NOTES: When the cards are "revealed" they are displayed in the center of the screen for BOTH players to see. The player then clicks one of the cards and to be placed on top of the deck (Thematically - like declaring the sign or portent of things to come) the others are then placed beneath it in random order. The chosen card will remain face up at the top of the owner's deck till it is drawn. Seeing future cards and drawing is typically time's domain, but prophecy and revelation seems to fit a light theme much better, so I think this is justified here. Will be part of a deck / hand manipulation series once it is completed. SERIES:

I like how you made it to where both players can see. This is a possibly great addition to rush decks.

Hmmm, Prophecies would be in Time, no doubt about it. There's simply nothing in Light that fits the theme.

Gods granting foresight into the future seems pretty light-ish to me. Also prophets feel pretty light element.

I understand both sides here. Though I do disagree that there isn't a light connection. Prophecy has a definite connection to divinity, one of the core themes of the light element.
I do however, see why the time element should be involved... I just cant think of how to make the connection to both at once while keeping this a spell card... which i want it to be.  In essence:
1) this needs to be a spell card
2) this needs to be a light card
3) I need to connect it with the time element somehow so I dont step on anyone's mechano-thematical toes.
Anyone got suggestions here?

I think you shouldn't bother too much, since light is appropriate.
Making it a duo card would complicate things, making it a time card would be redundant with time card drawing mechanics.
I would leave it as it is, i think it's a nice card.

Take a page out of Shards' playbook and make it give a small bonus if your mark is time?

I like that idea...
What if it reveals both decks if your mark is time?
Or would that be OP...

No Christianity in Elements, please. Angel's a stretch as it is, but the angel itself can be an independent symbol.

Besides, this overshadows Precog in lots of ways. :/

Who said Christianity? I certainly didnt. Look at most religions. This is why I said Gods and not God.

Gods, angels and prophets have nothing to do with R/L religions in a fantasy game.

I don't believe in gnomes. Please, remove Gnome Rider from the game. It is offending me.

We have guardian angel and Archangel in light element. We have crusaders in light element. Imo, prophets would fall in with both of these. Therefore, light. If it were called fortune teller, then perhaps I would say time. If it said Epiphany (a sudden realization, could work since the deck is sometimes seen as the mind and a realization could help one out...loosely thematic I guess) I would say aether, as aether has mind stuff. As is, light.
