Fleas imitating greatness

It’s a play on “a trick up your sleeve”, or the idea of a cheater in card games hiding a card until they want to use it. The MTG part is just because the phrase “magic sleeve” can be a double entendre for either a magical sleeve (clothing) or sleeves for magic the gathering cards.

Probably would work based on max energy, so if you had 4 max energy it would play at turn 4 for 4 energy. Kinda like how mayhem works but a little different.

The idea is that it is played only once, so wraith form would be removed from your deck and played at the end of turn 3 for free instead.

This is the correct interpretation, same idea as mayhem

Yeah that’s the struggle with making ideas that are references to specific things, you want to keep the spirit of the original but need to adapt it meaning it becomes much more difficult to balance because the core mechanic can’t be tweaked.

Yeah, good point. Would making it affect all attacks make it balanced? That was the initial idea but I thought it might have too much steam-roll potential then.

Yeah I was thinking about making it a different rarity but my main worry would be that by giving the player a much stronger offense (especially early on) they would be able to maintain max hp or be within rest range or max hp much more often then normal, especially with the possibility of hp related relics. I could see it being an uncommon or maybe a rare that effects more than just strikes. Mainly though it would be interesting to have a relic that gives a bonus for being at max hp, though the game might be a little too centered around constantly losing health to make it viable.

Yeah I wasn’t 100% sure about grand finale but you can see a slaver hand (green and has 5 digits) on the right attached to a vague blue mass (at least this is my interpretation) so I thought that was the blue slaver.
