it got me thinking about some new variable keywords, if you think there might be a way to incorporate it into your mod? :)


"Maiden" (as in Maiden Voyage)
= if this card is the first card of its type you played this turn, gain 3 block and do 3 damage to each enemy (for each other card of the same type in your hand)


"Gold Cast"

= when played, gain gold = to its cost.
(for balance reasons this would not normally appear on X-cost cards, but a gold-cast card could still later somehow be given an X-cost)

+
"Gold Plated"
= when played, gain 5 Plated Armour + 5 Gold


"Sequinned" eg Sequinned Strike
= the player gains 1 blur this turn
+ if you have already played a Sequinned card this combat, also gain 1 blue next turn.


"Silver Plated"
= the player gains 1 artifact this turn
+ if you have already played a Silver-plated card this combat, also gain 1 artifact next turn too ;o)




"Magnetic" eg Magnetic Defend
= gives you 5 block as plated armour minimum if costs is 1 or less, (but x block equal to its cost) which lasts until you take (any) damage.
but when you play another Magnetic card this combat, you not only gain the new card's magnetic effect, but any previously played magnetic effects are re-magnetised / triggered)


"Infamous" keyword, such as an "Infamous Strike"
this keyword would protect the player from Thievery, by giving them a "Relic of Infamy" if they don't already have one, and then it gains a charge counter whenever an Infamous card is played, +x charges equal to the cost of the card. Whenever an enemy with thievery is encountered, their thievery value is lowered by the Infamous charge counters value, and when you beat them they actually give you your infamy value as an extra bonus :O)
"infamy infamy, they've all got it in for me)
