Card: Burning Rage

Even I can't tell if this is a serious suggestion or not, but hey, angry burning dwarves!

Burning Rage:
Attachment, non-trait, mandatory, duration 2.
For each card drawn while attached, take 2 unpreventable burning damage. When you target an enemy with an attack and don't deal damage, draw a card. Discard if not an attack.

Blame @Bioautomaton for this one

Additional Thoughts:
orian34 says: and all attack cards have mandatory

 

Unless there's an enemy in range I think you'd never be able to pass the turn?

 

I've passed turn just fine with mandatory cards [gained by radiation-type effects] in my hand that I wasn't able to play due to handicaps [preventing movement, attack, etc], so I didn't perceive a problem with the idea.

Though I admit, the first time it happened, I was a bit concerned I'd be locked up, ha! :X

Looks like it has proper 'is possible' checking, though.

 

"Not able to play" and "no valid target" are very different, as it were.

 

True, but since the same circumstances I noted could lead to similar events with targeting, it's feasible that it already works similarly.
Then again, I'm not sure any mandatory effects currently exist without indirect targeting/self-targeting.

 

I understand, was explaining the difference =)

There aren't any, yeah.

Boatmurdered joke?

(if anybody hasn't read that yet for some reason, and they're not averse to profanity... highly recommended.)
