Target player reveals three cards from his or her hand and you choose one of them. That player discards that card.
“No, no, sir, it’s alright. We don’t morally censor you. We just want the money.”
Monday's come around again. That means 7 new/old cards from Magic 20XX. Last week I put up 8 cards from white which has a heavy 'wisdom' focus. I figured I'd pinwheel over to black today, to show off what one of the 'hellbent' colors was up to.
Since this set is very invested in the number of cards that are in player's hands, lots of cards that make players discard cards seems natural. Unfortunately, lots of cards that make players discard cards can also be very unfun. I tried to balance this by making a lot of the discard cards work on a 1-for-1 basis... No Mind Rot in this pseudo core set, and no cards that make you discard more than one card in common. No one seemed to complain, and I got a few positives from the discard selection in this set, so, go me.
The quote, by the way, is from the Monty Python sketch: Blackmail. I'm loathe to quote Monty Python, but, this one lined up so well, that I had to keep it.
