oh hey, i know i commented on this earlier (twas a newbie then) but just to answer the question of how to use 9 cards in one turn, there are 2 ways that you can do it;
way 1: play titan before hand (bad cause of vulnerability to pc)
way 2: draw more cards with hourglass/sundial (the abvious, to me at least, way to do it)
dont see why people forgot about hourglasses and sundial
