My Universe, My Rules: Comments

So this cardset was, at first, intended to be me attempting to base a set on "More power than you can safely handle" as the key theme.

Didn't happen. Turned into "All my random stuff and jokey ideas" - the actual cardsets went off on their own.

So.. what should I do with this repo?

Hm. Thanks for asking the question. I guess as Multiverse grows it is good to reexamine things.

My feeling is that this set does have its own feel to it. jmgariepy thought it had enough feeling to it to nominate it for Challenge # 100 :)

The cards in here seem to fall into two categories. One the one hand there's the ones that are obviously jokes and are meaningless as cards, such as Greatest Card and Anything, and the cards that only exist to be joke references to things, like Giant Growth and Bootch. And on the other there's the rule-breaking or rule-setting cards like Loyalty Pact and Thumbs Down, and explorations of innovative mechanics like Faithless Sword and Swords to Generals.

So I might suggest splitting the cardset into two: one called "Silliness" or something, for the jokes and throwaway references that'll be meaningless in a week's time, if you want to keep making those; make that one editable by all. The second one is pretty close to the current idea of "My universe, my rules", and so I'd say the second category can stay here and this can be a cardset for "Pushing the rules in strange ways". Some people use Cards With No Home for that, but this lets this set be more focused with more of an identity. Up to you whether you want to throw it open to all or leave it as Vitenkan explorations of the rules.

Fair enough; I'll keep this as it is, for playing with rules, and migrate the jokes out into "Silver bordered and/or joke cards"

(I migrated the mashups out a while ago)

Ok; joke cards moved to "Silver Bordered and/or joke cards" set. This set staying as is - keeping it as mine for now; there's not much demand for a "Be Vitenka" set, I don't think?

And cards from here do migrate into my actual sets sometimes, so it's a useful breeding ground for me.
