Moving tutoring into red for the Planar Chaos with a take on Demonic Consultation. :)

Ok, so.. name "Mountain" and draw a random card from the next 10?

You COULD name a card you really want, but if you do you take a bunch of damage and then still only have 1-in-10 odds of drawing it.

If you made that last clause "Unless you do" then that would be a pretty nice red tutor (you can say "I don't like the odds on this 10, let's reroll") but as it is, it's more like a cantrip "Flip a coin, if you lose, take 2 damage".

I've thought about making it AND you try again not UNLESS you try again because unless shows a degree of deliberation that's not in red's flavor.

But now that it's must retry it's so much worse but so much more flavorful....o.o

made it retry up to three times because infinite retry virtually guaranteed success and was impractical to play with

Tweaking numbers to appeal to fans of numerology given that this has the flavor of a rite.
