­Set Back made me realise that the rule where tokens just kinda vanish when removed from play always did kinda annoy me.

LOL. I think there's a whole meme of cards which "make the rules work the way they ought to/used to/sound like they ought to..." :)

FWIW, I think I'd write this as "Tokens don't cease to exist after they've left the battlefield and can move to other zones" so it (I think?) works under the rules.

And in fact while we're messing with basic concepts, maybe it should say "tokens represented by token cards" so we don't try to shuffle beads into libraries? :)

They turn into cards. You may have to find a prestidigitator to perform this feat; but at least my way they can be shuffled in :)

And yeah - I started this set as "How can I bend the rules?" and far FAR too many cards have become "Oooh, look what happens when I try to straighten the rules!"

Admittedly; I ought to spell out WHAT cards they become; and you really ought to turn them at least into a proxy for the token they used to be - but what the heck. If you wanna shuffle Plasma Cannon into your deck, be my guest.

So was your intent to give the rules gurus migranes?

I think that's pretty much the stated aim of this entire set.

Cool :D
