Card cycling?

    Would it be possible for each class to have a unique card cycling ability? Like warriors could discard multiple non-attack cards to get a attack card, healers for heal spells, mages for the same? Maybe sac multiple cards to make your next guaranteed move card be replaced with one?

    There were a set of cards that did things like:

    But these are no longer attached to any current items in the game.

    I meant more as a ability, not a card.

    Definitely not no ability things its a card game. Requesting the cycling cards back on the other hand i would be very interested in.

    Not sure that the attack, block and armor ones should be brought back. All of those are a raw +1 with no real cost. If they are brought back, they'd need some hefty drawbacks on any item with them on it. I mean, I've had that Attack skill used on me in the campaign, and I have to say it is a *****.(Ironically, I've only seen it used by dogs.)

    its actually not a +1 with no drawback as if you fail to find it you don't get it and you could possibly discard your best cards.

    But the chances of that are so low, especially in Attack Skill's case, that it's almost a non-issue. And discarding cards in this game isn't that big a deal as deck out is non-issue.

    Yeah, the attack skill in a deck which ignores defense on an elf (who already has ample movement) would be pretty insane. Same with the magic on a long range caster. Chances are low you discard anything, and what you do discard you didn't want anyway because the deck is focused.

    The defense ones on the other hand... those could REALLY hurt you, but if you need blocks/armor... it is worth it.

    Actually I think this could be a valid way to take care of the problem people seem to have with the game. I could see it working and don't see a lot of room for abuse, just a little more consistency to the decks. It would favor card drawing a lot though.

    A warrior having the ability to discard 3 non attack cards for an attack, wizard 3 non magic cards for a magic card, and a priest 3 non move cards for a move or 3 non heals for a heal perhaps?

    I think magic in the air was used on me in mp. Not sure.

    It is a card that is used by a monster in SP, not MP. Some spark shooting wyvern iirc.

    I'd love for more deck cycling card, even if it is for very niche (not generic magic or armor etc...). Deck cycling is the trademark of any card game.

    It could still possibly appear in ai decks, they're basically built as monster decks.
