  1. Woah!
  2. Not entirely unambiguous.

Yes, this is intended to be silver-bordered (though I don't think there's a way to change the frame of single cards in a cardset).

What I intend is "[...] for the rest of this subgame, if a player win/loses/draws this subgame, they also w/l/d the main game; and if anything checks to see if this is a subgame (for example this ability), the answer would be negative".

I felt some kind of very strong anti-recursion was necessary, and it combos in interesting ways with wishes which is nice
