IDEA:
OdinVanguard
NOTES:
Stackable means that the effect will accumulate (like poison)
This means that the spell adds "Opiate" counters to the target player. Then, any turn that they are healed, they will lose 1 card from the top of their deck for every counter they have.

Purifiable means that any effect which removes poison counters will also remove opiate counters (simultaneously).
For now this is just purify, but any future spells or effects that remove poison will also remove these counters.

The idea is to promote alternate win conditions (deckout, in this case) and provide a "soft counter" to healing (e.g. doesn't outright prevent or reduce healing directly)

Here is an idea for the "Opiate" status marker. Modeled off of a picture of a poppy seed

Lore:
"A poppy,
fragrant and alluring.
The death is sweet."
-Haiku found scrolled on a rock in a mind poppy meadow, located in the planes of death.


Verification of 5-7-5 "on" count for those who just have to count it :D
A (2 - long A) Pop(1 short o)y(2 - long ee) - 2+1+2=5

Whether the glass is half full or half empty is a moot point. It is always filled to the brim. It is only a matter of by what. The real question is: What fills you?
If your zombie plan is
kill -9 `ps l | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$9}' | grep "Z" | awk '{printf("%s ",$2)}'`
You might be a unix junky

That's beautiful and elegant. Both the mechanics and the visual. The ability is unique and powerful, yet it's in order and feels balanced. Just the love  :death  needs.

Poor Ferox... Use this + Eternity + Photon and some other stall, and have fun! I like this card.

What would the Opiate counters look like?
It is the greatest mystery of all...

Finished work on the "Opiate" counter (or whatever sounds good to call the status). The pictures are up in the notes.
Anyone who wants too can feel free to use it and / or the anti-heal discard mechanic in other cards.
