Which would be tricky to fit considering the space you used to explain it.

Really good idea, but it needs a better secondary reason to use it.Hmmm... maybe I can squeeze more in if it needs a better secondary... maybe:

" :time : Store a card from hand, or either return last stored card or discard it to gain :time quanta equal to its cost + 1. "

It can be a counter to nightmare/silence as well, you just store a card there to avoid discarding, and so, you can even gain 5 hp for some cards you might never actually play.
Also, I've been thinking about this deck: (not very effective, but certainly fun)

Is this a once per turn ability, or can it be reactivated multiple times? If the latter, then this would be VERY useful in OTK decks! Add two or three of these to a LS deck and you could increase the speed of the deck a lot -imagine, no more clogging of your hand with those combo cards, and no more risking having to discard. More time quanta would have to be worked into the deck, but even a 6 card increase to the slim version would be faster than the current slim version. It basically come down to how many times this card can be used per turn, but interesting concept.Originally I wanted it to be a multi-use ability, and I would have given it a bit higher casting cost to make up... but I think it may be to confusing to players to have it that way and there's just no way to fit enough words in there to explain it.
Which, is why it only costs 2 / 1 :time .
The usage in OTK decks was definitely one of the motivations for creating this card.
I suppose I could change the wording slightly so that it returns all stored cards...
E.g. maybe something like " :time : Store target card from hand or return stored cards to hand top first, discarding any extras for 5 max hp each."
Not sure if that would make this better or worse... Any thoughts on that idea?

I agree with that, it would be even better and easier to use. (and even easier for zanz to program it)Is this a once per turn ability, or can it be reactivated multiple times?

So basically, it returns everything stored at once if the player targets an empty slot in their hand, or it will store a card in an occupied slot from their hand.
Any extra cards that don't fit get discarded to provide +5 max HP each.
