NAME: Psychic Warfare ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 5 TYPE: Spell ABILITY: Opponent discards 2 Cards at random and draws 1 Card.	NAME: Mental Torture ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 5 TYPE: Spell ABILITY: Opponent discards 3 Cards at random and draws 2 Cards.

ART: Forget Picture from: http://www.topnews.in/health/files/Brain-Power.jpg Brainwash Picture from: http://www.geekwithlaptop.com/wp-content/gallery/brain/brain763982.jpg IDEA: Kakerlake NOTES: The idea came up when I was trying to make a deck that wins by letting the enemy empty his cardpool. Works great, just that it takes forever until the enemy has no more cards to draw, especially for Half-Blood and False God. To make this concept an actual fun way to play this game, some cards are needed that let the opponent draw additional cards. Update2: Cost raised to 5 for both. Effect order swapped. Effect changed to 2/1 and 3/2. Name changet to Psychic Warfare / Mental Torture (before: Forget Brainwash) Update: Cost in the Picture now correct. Lowered effect to 2/1 and 3/2. Cost now for both 3

Does this cost or random quanta?

[Kakerlake]

It should cost 
Don't know how to put the  in the picture, yet.

It's ambiguous as to whether the upgrade is actually an improvement- whilst you're still getting rid of more of the enemy's cards, you're also giving him a free draw. The unupgraded is more efficient.

Still, it's a cool idea- a bit different, can destroy a good hand

A nice concept, although a speed deck with these would make the opponent deck out way too often.

You're right- 6 of these is 18 cards destroyed

[Kakerlake]

Used against a speed deck this card would truly be devastating. Especially the upgraded one.

How about giving it a Nerf likt this:

NAME: Forget ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 3 TYPE: Spell ABILITY: Opponent draws 2 Cards and discards 1 Cards at random.

NAME: Brainwash ELEMENT: Darkness COST: 3 TYPE: Spell ABILITY: Opponent draws 3 Cards and discards 2 Cards at random.

6x the upgraded card would destroy 12 Cards and let the opponent draw 18 cards. With a perfect starting hand, the game would be over in 5 turns, for a 30 Cards Deck Opponend. Though that won't happen even once in 100 games. Usually one would win after 11 turns (chance about 52%, considered only brainwash). If a rush deck let you survive this long, it deserves to lose 

Each time played it also gives one cardadvantage to the opponent. So all in all the opponent would have an advantage out of this card.
Still... I'd defenitly put that card in my deck.

Bump from page 4.

Any suggestions on how to improve this card?
Or do you folks rather not have something like this available?

i like the idea...but what would happen if you used it after playing nightfall (i.e. their hand is full). Would they lose the 3 cards that they drew, then discard 2 more cards, would they just discard 2 cards with no drawing, would they discard 2 cards, lose a card from their deck, and draw 2 cards to replace the discarded or would nothing happen?
